My best friend's dad is a cop and I remember as teens when me and the buds would smoke in his back yard. His cop friends would come and screw with us but then laugh it off and hang onto our car keys for a couple hours. That was it.

In fact his dad always says how he can't wait till he's retired so he can start smoking again.

I love to hear stories like this. Proves that some cops out there know that keeping marijuana illegal is horse ****.

This guy is my hero. I forget which magazine(might have been Maxim or Stuff)it was but there was this 4-6 page article about him with him talking about his opinions and his family life. This guy covered so many things that are wrong with our Country. One that I especially liked was how so many religious people don't raise their kids...they let their religion raise them.

This should be the right video. He did an interview/questionnaire with Fox News and the *****es wouldn't let him get a word in. Figures when your dealing with that news station.

Yeah, Bill and his other cop friends were all cool as crap man. He's one of these dudes who totally was for the legalization. If we partied too hard, he would have us all crash in the basement, simple as that.

Funny how us teen aged pot smokers turned out, his son is a District Attorney in, I'm a music journalist (who spends most of his day playing guitar and practicing karate and still makes more money than wage slaves), or other bud Manny does character designs for a certain hit cartoon series, we are all the same age (29) and have all made our first million already. Those potheads, nothing but lazy layabouts!

Diaz was pulled over for an expired license tag while en route from California to Austin, and according to the DPS trooper's report, could not produce a drivers' license or proof of insurance. He was then arrested for failure to identify, and during a subsequent search, police found a small amount of hashish on his person. A search of the vehicle then turned up more hash and marijuana in pill bottle from a California medical marijuana provider.

The DPS report said the search also turned up a cell phone "containing text messages referring to drug sales"

He deserves to go to jail for being that stupid

 

[Schlosser85]

He might be a drug dealer, but life in prison for marijuana?

No wonder prisons are overcrowded when they arbitrarily sentence 20 year olds to spend the rest of their lives behind bars for something this petty.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm laughing my ass off at this, also, there's a simple way to cut down on prison overcrowding.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

learn your texas penal code people, he's been charged with a first degree felony, in the state of texas the law is you get either life in prison or 5 to 99 years in prison. He does face life in prison but more than likely he will get the 5-99 years.

 

[SuperFerret]

Most people don't know their own state's penal code, nevermind those of other states.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

It's sad some guy gets thrown in jail for taking some natural medicine while cops get drunk at home whenever they want. Most people who oppose weed legalization have no problem drinking alcohol. Weed doesn't make you beat your wife or drive 80 mph into a school bus.

Amsterdam is a great city. You'd think, based on anti-drug propoganda, because weed is allowed there would be total anarchy, but no, great city.

I hope Mexico and Canada legalize it until Americans feel silly and decide to legalize it themselves.

That is very true, Amsterdam is a great place to visit. Weed is legal and never once did I see anything get out of hand during my visit.

99 years. You don't see anything wrong with that?

He wasn't busted for possession he was possession with intent to deliver. He was busted with texts and assuming those texts were drug dealing related that makes him a drug dealer who
a)looks like a drug dealer
b)drives around with expired tags
c)doesn't know that you should delete your texts cause its basically like leaving post its for the cops as evidence

 

[Trainwreck2100]

robbing a gas station, first degree assault and many other first degree felonies fall under this ruling, do you think all of the people in Texas arrested for first degree felonies get the 99 max?

It's the fact that having a 99 year sentence is ****ing stupid. No one will live that long from the age of 18(legal adult age)so why not just call it "life".

Canada came close in 2003 I think but it did not come through in the end. They are not going to make that change when their main partner, the US, has such a firm stance on the war on drugs. They may want to but the US at least up until a few years ago wasnt ok with it so they are waiting. Unfortunately it has to happen in the US first before at least Canada does. Mexico is thinking of legalizing all drugs to kill cartels, but Im not so sure thats the way to go about it.

Now if California legalizes it for tax reasons, expect Ontario to do the same within months. They are not letting that opportunity pass that easily. lol

 

[Jow Strummer]

Medical or not... this is an extremely ridiculous sentence. Half a friggin ounce? That is nothing. There is no way in hell he should be charge with possession with intent to supply for that.

 

[Texas Zombie]

I'm not gonna lie I am totally for legalization and I sometimes smoke, but I just kinda get bored of it.

I've kinda lost all faith in my government, I am for seperation of church and state(I am Christian as well), I am pretty much for complete freedom, whatever you want to do you can do, as long as it doesn't impede on others freedoms.

Power corrupts. I don't see any presidents doing anything, they speak for change but things remain the same.

I could give a rats ass about that states piece of crap code. I have said for years give that little American tumor back to Mexico

Little American tumor? It's only the 3rd highest revenue from taxes in the US. Which state are you from?

 

[Texas Zombie]

Yeah, he's obviously never been to Texas. I live in Austin, it's notthat much different from other states I've been to.

Hold on I gotta unplug my phone from my oilwell and get on top of my horse and ride it to The county store.
