A pair of Albuquerque residents who happen to share names with late celebrities Tupac and Robin Williams have been arrested after they were found travelling in a car containing 114.7 pounds (52kg) of marijuana.

Tupac Crum, 19, Robin Williams, 21, and a third man Erick Harris Jr, 22, were arrested in Arizona on December 4 following a traffic stop south of the town of Payson, local broadcasters KPHO and KTVK report.

Arizona Department of Public Safe troopers stopped the white Chevrolet after the driver committed unspecified traffic violations northbound along the SR 87 State Route.

Upon searching the vehicle, police found 52kg of cannabis with a street value of approximately US$69,000 (A$92,505).

A K9 officer was called to investigate and the three New Mexico men were arrested and booked on multiple drug charges.

Arizona residents voted no to legalising the possession and consumption of marijuana during last month’s federal election.

Hopefully the search resulting from these "unspecified traffic violations" was fucked up somehow and the state's case gets damaged beyond repair

No I'm just someone who's confused about the drug war. It's not all black and white.

The person's right to consume drugs I am for if they have been well educated. Unfortunately even that approach I do not like any more. Having been a poly drug user for few years and now being sober last few years except for being an alcoholic, I can see the negative aspects that drugs do bring to a person.

End of the day you never know what's going to happen, when you drink that first beer, have that first toke, shoot up the first line, blah blah.

Based on this I am confused. There are so many complexities to this topic at hand.

I can see where your argument is coming from though.
 
I fully apologize to you.. i was mistaken.

in my considerable experiencing and research alchohol is almost the hardest drug on the planet.

So my take is that we have to treat the real issues we face instead of "banning" the substances we use in a horribly failed attempt to treat this. Carl Heart nailed this. Initially i thought he was crazy. He nailed this?

Real issues we face? There are always issues to face. Yes I agree, it's good to face them and I'm not playing victim here but everyone has a different approach to dealing with issues. A person with depression will most of the time let their feelings influence their path when issues arise blah blah as would a person with a personality disorder etc...I firmly believe if you address your issues sooner your need for drugs or booze won't be as great. However by then you have already learnt to drink or take drugs as it's something you do when it's night time and you are alone. Change is a bitch of a thing and even when you do change for the better it's too convenient to go back to old ways if that's who you have been for so long as good and bad don't seem to matter as much any more as you are already damaged to some extent.

I wish I was more assertive to events which happened in my life but as a kid I was depressed and anxious and this carried on into adult hood. Unfortunately this influenced my decisions which has brought me to where I am today. Only now at 31 / 32 have I become properly assertive in my approach. What I hate the most is I am an alcoholic who has sought treatment for ages through many different psych's, AA sessions etc. Every time I drink I barely enjoy it and am always ashamed, not by the stigma of others perceptions but because I allow myself to do that to myself. Why do I do it? My thinking is it's routine and breaking it would cause discomfort which I've done enough of to myself over the years.

So it goes.............

What about you?
 
I do like that they're starting to realistically adjust prices of cannabis in these articles. They say this (probably Mexican brick) cannabis is worth under $500 per pound--that's probably a realistic price for brick in NM (or farther north, where this would have been heading). I even saw an article in California the other day where they were only claiming seized NorCal outdoor bud at $1000-1200 per pound.

Ive never heard a more accurate description of drug use/addiction caused by depression (or other mental illness). I completely agree with all of that and I feel like it's the path I have taken as well.
