Matt,

I think ending ALL violence should be the country’s main priority. That includes legalizing drugs and bringing the troops home.

For my part, if I had to only choose one: cannabis legalization or bringing the troops home from the 130 odd countries they’re in around the world, I would choose the latter. Taxes are another issue I consider more important than cannabis — it actually really underlies both of those problems and many others, but that’s probably a bigger, more difficult fish to fry.

You have still neglected to answer my question. Should legalizing drugs be the country’s main priority? How about bring the troops home?

Matt, my comment was intended to address the cigarette issue, but the government certainly is pointing a gun at me regarding cannabis. They literally threaten to show up with guns and put me in a cage if I smoke, grow, or sell it.

Threatening violence against someone in order to force them to have what you consider a healthy lifestyle is absolutely tyrannical and immoral.

@Aano: I don’t know you so I can’t say if you’re being facetious but remember that part I said about people thinking it is a moral is a retard. How is it “wrong” to smoke weed in front of a kid compared to a cig? What difference is it to the kid? You trying to tell me joints are more destructive and addictive than cigs? If so, then crawl back to your government and ask them to save your child from the big bad pot heads not to mention YOU.

You need to get a permit for the right to assemble like that. If the plice try to break it up then its spells law suite all over it. But i mean pumkin fest has littls childern and families enjoying the season. Its one thing exposing them to the issue, but the action of doing the actual drug in fornt of them. Thats totally wrong!

This is mainly directed at Ian and anyone else that harbors his position on this matter: While I think stoking it up should not be an issue at all and I generally dislike cops and what they stand for, I’ll say this: You people were warned not to come out that day. It is my understanding that you have been doing this every day for the past few months without incident. What does that tell you about the position the cops have taken on your protests? Sounds like an unspoken agreement on their part to not bother you guys even though the law tells them they should bother you. They told you that on pumpkin day that they were going to be cracking down so anyone that went that day was looking to get arrested for protesting. Fine, your choice. Like Mark on FTL said, don’t go copping an indignant attitude as if you’re surprised at the outcome when you knew in advanced of what you were doing. YOU were warned, and YOU choose to go anyway, ergo, YOU wanted to get arrested. I don’t think you should have been arrested but that is not how it went and don’t pretend that it was a surprise and that you’re the poor little victims. The fact that there is such an issue about what people choosing to do with their bodies at all shows how retarded society is. To those that see this as a moral issue: You’re an idiot and I hope eventually you figure out why.

Dr
Why should families not go to restaurants because others are a health concern? The point of going out to eat is to eat. Not smoke. It’s not hard to step outside quick
