3 Teens cought with half a ton of Marijuana - Polidicks

Let's arrest them and ruin their lives, and destroy the evil pot. Good catch, guys, great police work, I'm glad my tax dollars pay for your department and your salaries, you're really doing society a favour.

[QUOTE=Conscript;16336343]uh, why they're smuggling a 1000 pounds of weed, i'm pretty sure they're going to distribute it.[/QUOTE] They are distributing an illegal drug, if I brought 1000 pounds of coffee beans or some random legalized product it wouldn't cause a shit-storm.

[QUOTE=Cheat_God;16335947]unless.....yknow.......you jump off of a building, or run out in traffic or something while your high on weed.......[/QUOTE] That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Not possible. [QUOTE=RichardNixon;16336101]You don't get high on alcohol. Yet another reason we shouldn't legalize marijuana, you don't really understand anything about the drug and only want it legalized so you can get high. While you're talking about how much money we could save by legalizing it you're also completely avoiding the physical and mental aspects of the drug, for a pothead you're one materialistic bastard.[/QUOTE] :bang: You deserve a box.

no probably not because that would instead be called 'business' :v:

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;16335569]Smuggling an illegal drug that shouldn't be illegal in the first place.[/QUOTE] What happens to them if in the near future we legalize marijuana? Do they still have to do the time?

[QUOTE=stone555;16336356]Oh, just stop it. They were well aware of the consequences before they decided to smuggle in a drug that they have had PRIOR knowledge is ILLEGAL. Yes, I know it shouldn't be illegal, but that is besides the point. They knew of the consequences therefore should pay with their punishment.[/QUOTE] How about you read prior posts, there is no logical reason why marijuana is illegal. It just is due to companies pissed off back in the 1930s because they were losing money due to the use of hemp and marijuana as a drug.

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;16336379]They are distributing an illegal drug, if I brought 1000 pounds of coffee beans or some random legalized product it wouldn't cause a shit-storm.[/QUOTE]If you didn't claim them there would be a shit storm, but your point is irrelevant. Coffee beans are legal.

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;16336415]What happens to them if in the near future we legalize marijuana? Do they still have to do the time?[/QUOTE] They should be tried by court for not having the authorization to bring products into this country. [editline]03:58PM[/editline] [QUOTE=stone555;16336466]If you didn't claim them there would be a shit storm, but your point is irrelevant. Coffee beans are legal.[/QUOTE] Like I've been saying for the past fifteen goddamn posts, it shouldn't be illegal in the first place.

It just is due to companies pissed off back in the 1930s because they were losing money due to the use of hemp and marijuana as a drug.[/QUOTE]I realize that, I stated it in my post but I'm not even talking about that. They got caught smuggling something ILLEGAL. If it's ILLEGAL they get INDICTED. Then they get SENTENCED. If people smuggle something illegal they are going to get sentenced, and you complaining about it won't change a damn thing.

* Racism * Fear * Protection of Corporate Profits * Yellow Journalism * Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators * Personal Career Advancement and Greed These are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal.

While I agree that pot should be legalized; these guys weren't smuggling a ton of pot just to smoke it. They were going to sell it. Yes, while being arrested for smuggling pot is dumb, they're going to be arrested, and there isn't much you nor I can do about it.

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;16336471]Like I've been saying for the past fifteen goddamn posts, it shouldn't be illegal in the first place.[/QUOTE] Do you have a good reason for this?

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16336285]Before you edited it it said high on alcohol, don't play me gangsta. Don't try to say, "this legal thing is much more harmful than this illegal thing so lets legalize it" cause that's just as horrid of an argument as the monetary one. You know damn well that we can't stop people from using alcohol or tobacco at this point in time, and just because marijuana isn't [i]as[/i] harmful it's still harmful.[/QUOTE] So what? Let me decide what I want to put into my body, as long as I'm not hurting anyone but myself by doing so. Sugar and fat aren't good for your body but North America seems to think it's okay to saturate the market with the most disgusting, sugary, fatty processed foods known to man. And guess what, they can be just as addicting, especially things like cola and coffee and chocolate, with their caffeine content.

[QUOTE=stone555;16336523]I realize that, I stated it in my post but I'm not even talking about that. They got caught smuggling something ILLEGAL. If it's ILLEGAL they get INDICTED. Then they get SENTENCED. If people smuggle something illegal they are going to get sentenced, and you complaining about it won't change a damn thing.[/QUOTE] Like I said, they are going to be charged on two counts, one for smuggling and one for intent to distribute marijuana. The latter one is bullshit and that's the one where they're going to get the most time and everyone's focusing on. Regarding your statement "you complaining about it won't change a damn thing" I have a response to that. This is a community for a fucking game sold on Steam and discussions regarding everything else. If I were trying to do something about it, the last place I'd go is this cespool of idiots.

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16336562]Do you have a good reason for this?[/QUOTE] Do you have a good reason that it should? Give me your reasons without proving exactly what I said about food. Nevermind the fact that your argument is probably invalid due to cigarettes/alcohol being legal.

[QUOTE=Rapetacular;16336585]p. dumb post[/QUOTE] I am inclined to disagree.

And yes, they should be sentenced with intent to sell because they were going to sell it.

[QUOTE=Malumbre;16336620]Do you have a good reason that it should? Give me your reasons without proving exactly what I said about food. Nevermind the fact that your argument is probably invalid due to cigarettes/alcohol being legal.[/QUOTE] Don't answer my question with a question bitch.

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16336562]Do you have a good reason for this?[/QUOTE] I do have a reason for this, it was posted above actually if you ever read a goddamn thing instead of focusing on "proving me wrong hurrr hurr". I am really sick of people not reading threads, this isn't like a thirty page thread, if it was I wouldn't blame you but due to the fact that this is a thread that is only two pages long I'm going to have to tell you to read the goddamn thread instead of jerking off. I've been making the same statements over and over for the past twenty minutes and I'm going to have to do it again.

Again, if I smuggled coffee beans and I were to sell them illegally, I'd probably get a smack on the wrists. These kids are going to be put away for years and their lives will be lost, they'll get out at the age of fourty due to a drug that shouldn't be illegal in the first place? Are you kidding me?

You are trying to tell us that these kids have some sort of justification for smuggling 1000 pounds of marijuana. They broke the law, they serve the consequences.

And what is society without it's children? It may have originally been criminalized based on corporate interests but a new factor has come into play, it is unhealthy. And if it had not been for their greed and bigotry marijuana would be used just in the way tobacco is, our society would have generated another unnecessary handicap.

[QUOTE=Alde;16336882]Ageism, gotta love it.[/QUOTE] If you're not 18+, in the real world your opinion doesn't mean shit in politics and that isn't ageism, it's reality.

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;16335547]Pretty fucked up right? Your life can get fucked up over marijuana whereas tobaco/alcohol are legal and yet they are medically worse for your body.[/QUOTE] They can't because it's too popular, the market is too big, they also want the money. Illegalize tobbaco and/or alchohol and see how things goes to hell. It can also increase the whole "I'm so cool because I smoke" thing. Marijuana has never been that big, thus it's possible to keep it illegal.

Kids has all these crazy ideas that aren't even half thought out. Spur of the moment "revolutionary" ideas that will save the world. The older ones has to learn them how it doesn't work so that when they become old they can actually make at least partly well thought out plans. I'm 18 and I'm faaaaaar away from having correct or well planned thoughts, but they are way more correct than when I was 15.
