When you say that you are not hurting anyone else by smoking pot that is a bit short sighted. The money that you spend may initially go into the hands of your friendly neighborhood aquaintance but if you follow thet trail all the way the money ends up funding foreign dealers, growers, er organized criminals. They are involved in all sorts of activities including murder, child slavery, etc. to advance their money making ventures. I no longer smoke pot because it led me to other, more dangerous drugs but if I did decide that I wanted to smoke again I would not; simply because of where the money goes. And as long as it is illegal that is where the drug money will continue to go Just something to consider.

Secondly when you say the reason they busted you is all about the money that is not quite correct. If the government were to legalize pot and tax it they would make far more money than they do off of the fines they currently enforce...

i don't buy pot that's grown in dirt that came from mexico. i buy pot that is grown in water by someone in my city. and perhaps it is not all about the money. but regardless what the reasoning is, it is senseless. if they would legalize it and tax it, then that would reduce the money getting to these murderers you're so worried about.


you not buying a bag of pot won't stop someone from being murdered or free a slave, nor will it reduce the chances of either of these.

we should stop buying gas, so innocent middle easterners will stop being murdered.
