The Red and Black

Sounds like something out of a Cheech and Chong movie.

really a shame, what a victim-less crime.

I agree with crazy...
How is it this story gets its own headline and story. No violence and no victims but yet this is the big news. Isn't interesting that none of the weed was weighed or any of money counted(check report)? Who's to say it all got back to the police station. I'm sure the police were high-5 their way all the way to the showers. After all putting these "criminals" in the already overcrowded jails got them ada boys from the good ole boys. Just read the crime watch blog. Alcohol is involved in 98% of the incidents and arrests. Look at the cause and effect. One group under the influence of legal government endorsed drugs causing violent and dangerous outcomes. Another group of privately imbibing nonviolent under the influence of illegal natural drug. Doesn't make sense. But let the open container on football saturday continue it makes $$$. When are we going to wake up?

Whether or not the crime is victim-less, it is still a crime. It's illegal and deserves more than a slap on the wrist and a look the other way.

How much marijuana did they find? First time offenders?

Without knowing the above information, it's a little hard to judge the situation. BUT I must say that from the sounds of it, the ACC police department just wasted plenty of time and resources arresting these non-violent offenders and ruining their lives forever.

Can we change the laws yet?

We are trying to change the laws, but few people are willing to spend the time to participate. Go to the Ga NORML meeting on Thurs. and help us get something done. If you don't like these laws, become active and help change them. For more details, contact me at: busted.norml@gmail.com
