I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what's wrong with pot.

I'm all for laws against coke or smack, but I find outlawing nature to be offensive.
But, like with coke and smack, there's gold in them thar hills.
How would Senator Billy Butthead from Redneck Hell get re-elected if he didn't bring home the prison jobs?
And who best to fill those prisons of commerce? How about the more peaceful, intelligent types? Cause they could get in the way anyway.

It's like the Khmer Rouge without all the mess. {#Yes}

THIS is the key to this issue for me. Good ol' Western medicine:
"You have a problem that makes you want to escape the world by altering your brain chemistry? Here, this will stop the symptoms of your problem. All better now!" Addiction is the symptom, not the problem. And as far as people being addicted to canabis? I don't buy it. Nope. Sorry. They might be addicted to intoxication and pot is their preference, but having smoked for extened periods and NOT smoked for extended periods over the last twenty years... No withdrawl, no craving, no addiction.

Pot is the leading boogie man in the "War On Drugs" So they have to keep trying to demonize it. As far as I'm concerned the whole "War On Drugs" is nothing more then a, thinly veiled, beuracratic process designed to create a criminal class to fill privately owned prisons, so they can be used as virtual slave-labor and keep the privatized prison industry profitable.

Exactly! I've been told that smoking pot (or doing any substance to alter myself) is an attempt to "not feel something" or to "cover real feelings" or some psycho babble. If that's true, for the life of me, I can't figure out what my "demons" are! Frankly, I don't think I have any, I just like to smoke pot.

I agree with everything you said. When we stop filling prisons with people who simply POSSESS marijuana, there will be more room for the "real" criminals.

A Lexington bridal consultant has been charged with endangering the welfare of minors because, police said, she allowed her teenage son and daughter to grow marijuana at their home, according to court records.

Michele Hall Landers, an accredited bridal consultant who runs Bridal Potpourri on Clays Mill Road, has pleaded not guilty to possession of marijuana and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.

Landers' teenage son and daughter have been charged with cultivation and possession of marijuana and trafficking marijuana, court records say. Police also say Landers knew about what was going on and did not intervene. One of the daughter's friends, a 15-year-old, was also involved.

Landers was charged with possession after police found her with 5 grams of marijuana cigarettes.

Bridal Potpourri, located at 3306 Clays Mill Road, offers brides held i< src="scripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js" type="text/javascript"><>n designing wedding invitations, programs, map cards and event itineraries, according to the business Web site.

Her business has been featured in the Herald-Leader, Bluegrass Style and other publications. According to the Web site, Landers' staff hosts two bridal shows each year and sometimes teach a wedding planning class at Lexington Community College.

Landers is expected to appear in court for a pretrial conference at 10 a.m. Oct. 15.
