i know what you guys mean, although i dont get worried if theres a cop behind me unless its oswego pd. fr soem reason they really just like to harass people(anyone not just a certain group) otherwise i really dont car ebecause im not really doing anything illegal, and the only thing they can really get me for is having a german plate in the front.

on the way home from the movies friday i had 2 of 'the towns finest' pull me over and harass me, give me sobriety tests when i drank nothing in weeks, no smell of alcohol at all. Then they wouldnt tell me why they pulled me over until it was all done, then they said 'your exaust is loud' handed me my **** and took off.

Today on the way in 2 work, I saw the same cop flip a U across a four lane road, no turn signal, and drive across a median halfway in the oncoming lane, with his cherrys on just to avoid the traffic jam. then when he got through the turn, the blues went off, and he put-putted away. must be nice to be above the law.

I think you are too paranoid. If you feel the need to be paranoid when pulled over then the cop is going to sense that. Usually people are paranoid because they are hiding something. So the cop will use your parinoia to get something out of you.

If you really feel that weed should be legal then you should not fear the law about it. Your fear means that part of you feels your actions are "wrong."

Also like new2me said, most problems have real lasting solutions other than lighting up every couple hours. Why can't smoking be made legal just for being fun to do? Don't fake its real use by calling it medicine. Your only creating more laws by trying to skirt the problem.

A.) I have been stoped by the cops with weed in the car and was fine.

B.) Don't feed me a line of bullshit about "well if you feel wrong about smoking weed then it really is wrong." If I get arrested my future is FUCKED. Do you know how many doors of opportunity slam in your face the minute a drug charge gets added to your record (if you arent lucky enough to have money bags daddy flip the bill for a great lawyer). Whats wrong with having something legal because its fun? Alcohol and tobacoo kill hundreds of thousandsof Americanseach year and yet thats legal. There has not a signle documented death which resulted from using marijuana and no signifigant negative effects have ever been proven nomatter how many millions of dollars the government throws towards research. And yes marijuana helps cure pain and nausea for cancer patients along with other medical conditions (sounds a hell alot like a type of medicine to me). Please don't talk about something you're completely ignorant about. Not everyone smokes to "escape their problems."

+1 to Kilobyte. Couldnt have said it better myself. Isnt it about time we stopped big-brother from overregulating our lives and stand up for some of the things that are natural and have been around for a lot longer than our laws have been. If you watch some of those anti-pot videos from the 50s and 60s they just prove how ignorent our legal / cultural standards are becoming in this country.

Oh, and did anyone see the new Time magazine where the gov. trapped a opium farmer in Afghanistan to come to the US b/c he said he actually wanted to help out in this "War on Terror" and they got the info they needed and then arrested him under this "War on Drugs." Such total nonsense, and we are pissing everyone else in the world off...

Oh, and 9/11 was an inside job...US gov't was in on that *****...

Meh... I passed at least 2 differtent cops today, on my way to work, doing 65-70mph, in tha snow, in a 55 zone. I was actually kinda hoping they wud try and catch up, in their RWD Crown Vic's. Might've been hilarity ensuing. I guess they had bigger fish to fry.

In a PM I just received from Chingy

"1. I am all for legal weed.
2. I am all for society to man up and realize that letting your friend drive home drunk is not ok.
3. Nicoret > camel. But you can't just flush a multi million dollar industry ( and all the jobs that go with it) down the drain.
4. Smoke all you want thats fine with me. Just stop complaing how your worried about getting caught if you can't handle the consequences. Even if they are unreasonable consequences the rules are out there, either follow em or don't.

5. I drink because I am a very socially uncomfortable person. The down side is that because I can drink I haven't (in college) made any effort at become comfortable around strangers. So, yes it helped me open up but it didn't help me get better at opening up. Get it? This is my biggest problem with some pot smokers.

6. I have heard every single argument for legalizing weed. Yet I see very little action done on the part of smokers to work at it. As long as 1/2 of American's vote they will get the president they want 1/2 the time. Same goes for everything in life, like speed limits and such laws. Why do I get annoyed with this so much? Because lazyness has been the cause of every single problem in my life thus far and I'm still stuck being lazy much of the time. Frankly I've grown sick of it. You know what, being productive and responsible sucks *****. Sitting at work reading these forums is so much easier than working 8 hours of an 8 hours shift. So its my projectiong onto other I see doing the same thing. Preaching hoping that they or myself finally listen.

So, ask yourself why you smoke. Really ask yourself why, there is a reason. I don't care what it is, I won't judge you but you do have a reason, and just to get high isn't it. Just to get high is an awesome reason, so you should strive to get there.

Find a good place to stash your stash in the car so you can have a little more peace of mind. Oh and if you can live without driving while high you should have fewer jitters. If you want to keep ******* friends around that ride in your car without telling you they are holding, well that your problem to deal with. Either before you get in the car or after you get out of jail.

Go ahead, dismiss everything I have said. Say i'm ignorant and what not. I've gotten past the fact that my words on the internet are worthless. I'm still going to say what I want to say. If you don't agree then go ahead an post on the board with your cut 'n paste pro smoking response. As for me I'm just going to sit around and wonder about why I needed to drink alcohol to open up socially and why I never made any new friend when I was drinking... "



I'm posting this here because I think you really need to take a good look at yourself. All this was is how im too paranoid about cops (even when im sober and have no weed or friends holding weed in the car) and you totally blew this out of proportion. LOL

Look at states like California organizing and succesfully legalizing massive medical marijuana campains. It IS possible and AMERICANs are trying but who gets in the way? The bible readingconservative as hellignorant douche bagswhod much rather seebillions oftax dollars spenton putting pot smoking "drug addicts" behind bars for 30 years for possesion of 1 joint (its happened). Only recently is the system starting to crack under the pressure of its own weight. Even Texas is considering decriminalizing pot because its jail/prison/legal system is overcrouded with NON VIOLENT marijuana offenders. We must be patient as decades of brainwashing and "just say no" campains are slowly clarified into what the truth actually is.

So what are you going to do about big brother? Its alway been "about time to start". Sadly watching American Idol is more important to most americans so i guess were stuck living in this crappy country since there is nothing we can do about the evil government.

9/11 you don't even want to start. I hope your just being a bandwagon "hate the opressive government" fan and don't actually think this.
