Re: listen, fuckhead ...
as PitytheFool (great screename btw) correctly noted, i was joking - about the levels of hostility in your posts etc. etc.
so you agree: drug-related gun crime is a direct result of prohibition.
jesus. people have tried & tried to explain this to you:
unless you are growing your own weed, please by all means post and assure us that you, the person you buy your weed from, the person they buy their weed from, the person they buy their weed from, the person who smuggles the weed into your country, the person who smuggles the weed out of the country of origin, the person who transports the weed and the person who grows the weed are not involved in any illegal activities .
for crying out loud; this is one of the main arguments we anti-prohibitionist people use all the time. prohibition removes any degree of ethical choice from the drug trade. you cannot be sure that, what is a harmless little baggie to you has not - at some stage - passed through the hands of someone involved in criminal activities which are not related to drug prohibition.
are you aware of the gun laws in your country?
tell me - what is the maximum sentence you can receive for, say, owning an unlicensed firearm?
the 'threat of - and capability to - use deadly weapons' exists in NEARLY EVERY FUCKING STATE. as long as there are guns on the street, the 'threat' and 'capability' exist. don't they?
further - you KNOW as well as i do that this man, had he merely been carrying a weapon, would not be staring at 50 years inside. so don't dodge the issues.
i think there's something else you're not understanding here. perhaps i can help: what is a pound of pot made of?
answer: ounces.
that's not what i or anyone else said. of course there's a distinction between cannabis and crack - i don't know whether you've ever seen anyone over-indulge in crack, but it's really not pretty. it can be a lethal drug. unlike, ahem, cannabis. most modern and progressive countries realise this - and legislate accordingly.
what i'm saying is,
is it not somewhat hypocritical to point the finger at someone who sells a few thousand dollars worth just because you buy a few dollars worth at a time? it's back to the pounds&ounces argument.
i don't want anyone walking down the street carrying a gun. that's why i don't live in Kinshasa, DRC, or Bumfuck, Colorado. but do you really think the 'threat' and 'capability' to use deadly weapons, combined with selling some pot - probably to the sorts of dealers who supply you and i, ffs - is worth half a century in prison?
ChemicalBeauty said:What does calling someone a "fuckhead" have to do with arming yourself? Cussing at someone is now justification for shooting them? What a silly little comment there, seussy.

Right. And I've already stated numerous times that drug-prohibition should be reversed. But until that day, you're not welcome to break the law using your gun to secure your profits. Sorry, brother.
so you agree: drug-related gun crime is a direct result of prohibition.
I used to think you simply varied in opinion from me, I now know that you actually have a screw loose. You're as bad as the Bush Admin's commercials stating "Did you smoke a joint today? If so, you just killed a police officer, or a judge etc..." What a joke!

Go rob a bank with a shotgun and report back as to your findings. The problem here, has nothing to do with drugs, and everything to do with breaking civilized law with the threat of - and capability to - use deadly weapons.

Absolutely. And according to every state and federal law in this country, too. A 20yr old with an ounce of pot to smoke is in a lot different boat (legally) than a 20yr old with 5 pounds to sell.
i think there's something else you're not understanding here. perhaps i can help: what is a pound of pot made of?
answer: ounces.
So you'd have no problem with this sentence had the guy been selling a pound of crack instead of pot?

What are you saying? It's a lot more or less?
