Terrorists, Marijuana, and pop television…
January 26th, 2007http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/…
IN THE FICTIONAL world of the hit show “24,” federal law enforcement agencies are pouring every last resource into the search for a nuclear terrorist in Los Angeles.
In the real world, federal agents apparently have so much free time that they can dress up in bulletproof vests and masks in order to raid clinics that serve patients battling cancer, AIDS and other diseases. That’s what happened last week as Drug Enforcement Administration agents stormed 11 medical marijuana dispensaries throughout L.A. and West Hollywood. We can all rest easier knowing that lollipops, cookies, candies and candy bars laced with marijuana are in no danger of reaching seriously ill patients.
Enough said…but the article does go on…
I could go on and on about how bad laws don’t need to be enforced but instead need to repealed, how resources are squandered and potential tax revenue is lost, how the jails teem with otherwise harmless people who just liked to get high…
But man I am so baked right now, I’m just gonna sit back and listen to this Tom Petty and eat my Twinkie man, someone else can fight the system…all this stuff about sick people living in pain and misery is harshing my buzz man, why can’t those pigs just let them get high and eat dinner like a normal person, man…mmm, dinner…what was I sayin?
