Marijuana laws in NY state are arcane. Marijuana laws should parallel alcohol laws and people should be allowed to grow whatever they want, just like they can brew/distill whatever they want.

Even Obama admitted to smoking pot: “yeah, I smoked pot, lots of it and I inhaled. That was the whole idea!” Clinton: ” Now you listen to me, I only took a puff but I did not inhale…or have sexual relations with that cigar humidifier.”

I guess using a cell phone (hand held like the police do) for my business (while driving) and scoring another contract deal isn’t at par with police business.

I routinely see police speeding for no apparent reason, talking on cell phones, changing lanes without signaling, tailgating, not using headlights when their wipers are being used..etc. They definitely run by the rules my parents laid down for me all those years ago: “Do as we say, not as we do!”

Sometimes they get things right but from my experience, they usually are just unreasonable, selfish, unbending, unfair and hypocritical. I suppose they can develop a chip on their shoulder from years of dealing with real scumbags but they often carry that chip to the car door of decent, law abiding citizens.

My mama always told me, if you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. I extend that same advise to the police. If they can’t handle the stress of the job and can’t differentiate between common criminals and someone who inadvertently committed some minor traffic infraction, they should step down and take up fishing. I heard the bullheads are biting really well.
