I saw this site in a post about fake liscence plates being used to fool red light speed cameras and explored the site- IT ROCKS. Its listed as an Oasis for NERDS (I am one).
Check it out and lets start a sticky about it.
Also, check out Judge Jim Gray's site regarding decriminalization of drug crimes. I haven't done pot since the eighties, but his ideas are right on the money.

I dont know about that decriminalization of pot crap.


I stopped just a few years ago cause of my kids being born and all but the rules sound stupid!


You cant trade, purchase, sell or grow but you are permitted to use it in the privacy of your own home in responsible ways?


Ok so just abuse the law so you aren't abusing the law?


Stuff dont come from out of thin air.

 

[Kevin O'Connell]

Yeah, OK

Alright, what does having kids have to do with vices? Great, being a sperm donor makes you unable to control your use of mind altering substances.
Being able to make decisions about what we do is called free will- its what being American means.

 

[JWerner2]

What the hell kind of incoherent crap is that?


So being American means that you can legally smoke pot but you are not allowed to legally obtain it in any way?


Maybe you should have took the bong out of you ass in the 80's as well.

 

[JWerner2]

If your referring to my kids and the fact that I stopped smoking it was the right choice and the mature thing to do. I wont make decisions for them but I will till they are old enough to make them on their own and what they see they do without thinking.


No matter how great it feels and how fun it can be when done responsibly it is illegal which means it cost money if you get busted. I'm not depriving my kids of necessities and or a father who could end up in jail cause I wanna smoke pot.

I think Kevin is simply objecting to laws against forbidden things, such as drug laws and anti-gun laws, vs. laws against crimes in and of themselves, such as robbery, assault, or murder.

Great, being a sperm donor makes you unable to control your use of mind altering substances.

Kind of sounds to me like he is creatively saying that by getting someone pregnant and having kids does not mean I shouldn't be allowed to smoke pot in a responsible and controlling manner.

Or that I am now unable to do so.
