Traffickers' weed cannon scheme ends not with a bang but a drug bust

Say hello to my little fwiend!

Ingenious! This is your brain on drugs....

We shall spend MILLIONS on a fence/wall that will keep the illegals and their drugs out!!! yeah.. for the price of a compressor, an old gas engine, and a truck to haul it in we've circumvented your fence.... try again!! The war on drugs has been a pointless and expensive undertaking that has resulted in nothing more than many deaths and TRILLIONS spent trying to enforce a law that could be bringing in revenue... Legalize reefer, tax it, and regulate it like alcohol... done

When I was young and foolish, I also thought the idea that a big wall across the entire border was a great idea... after all, it worked out so well for East Germany.

Then I applied some logic to the equation and realized the folly of such a foolish thing.

Legalized virtually all of it and let the RJ Renolds and Phillip Morris' spring up and sell safer products that don't foster crime or destroy the Constitution.

Heck, this whole 'sequester' problem would be solved over night. We spend a lot more than 85 billion every year fighting a war on drugs that can't be won.

Yeah, but there are to many DEA agents that need jobs and other companies like the ones who make the drug testing stuff that need to keep jobs and all of the other money and people involved now that it would ruin the economy to come out and adm it what we all know, the war on drugs can't be won and is a waste of money. So there is no way that they, meaning those who are in charge at any one time, will ever do away wit all those jobs with a pen stroke making the stuff legal.

Nice thought though. Read some of the history involved, it's a hoot. Start with the abolishing of Prohibition and read on from there about how all those "Revenuers" came up wit ingenious ways to stay on the Federal Payroll. Almost makes me want to cry really to think of how we manage to get to these points in our history over simple greed.

It's very simple. Anyone who can watch the film "Reefer Madness" and not see propaganda in it's simplest form obviously wasn't paying attention. Are there dangerous and deadly drugs that need to be dealt with. Absolutely! Is pot one of them? Not at all.

The amount of money we are wasting on incarcerating people for possession of marijuana plus the money we would make by legalizing and taxing it would do so much for our current financial woes that it staggers the mind. Yes, keep the DEA agents and put them to work busting all these freaking meth-heads running around. I'd cheer for them all day long. But stop wasting our time and money on pot.

with the privatization of prison systems all over the country, making sure that they stay full is high priority... if they're not full, they don't get subsidized by the govt... If you cleared marijuana from the narc. ban list... imagine how many convictions you'd have to vacate...

This.....couldn't have said it better. It costs, on average, $28000/year to house an inmate. Multiply that by the tens of thousands of people jailed for marijuana related offenses, add the cost of the police time involved in making the arrests, the court and attorney fees to prosecute, then the cost of the sometimes court mandated treatment programs and you have one hell of a pile of money wasted.

Well... they are going to need the room. Where else are they going to put all of the illegal Hi-cap magazine owners?

 

[Mark-DuCo]

So does this make my potato gun drug paraphernalia?

 

[Enkrypter]

Hahhahahahahahahah!

No wall can keep them out. Hell, we'd probably hire them to build it for us... Irony? I think yes!

Only if it has a high cap weed magazine. Pretty sure it has to be under 10 lbs.

hmmm...I wonder how high the arc would be when it fired?

 

[aaron580]

Is it just me, or does it kinda look like a smoking device? LOL

Looks like some sort of Glock prototype.
