Greetings Sky.

I am in law enforcement and enjoy my second amendment rights as do you. It has always been my opinion that as long as you are proficient with one firearm, that's all you need. I know some have a "if my gun is upstairs and I am downstairs" concern. I personally keep a firearm more or less within arms reach at all times. I do have children, so firearm safety is paramount, so I keep it on me or in a gun safe if I'm away from home. My wife is also proficient with a handgun (which may be good or bad for me).

I personally own several firearms ranging from 1911 .45's to AR-15's. I do remember seeing a documentary on convicted burglars/home invaders where they were asked what would be the greatest deterrent from committing such crimes. Most of them stated that home alarms did the trick some of the times, but hearing the action of a 12 gauge pump did EVERY time. The boomstick still reigns supreme!

The hit on OLd greenville got a whole 10 roaches of pot big bust.Lol should nake national news.You people trip me out they also didnt mention that the one had cancer and bad heart with no insurance.They also didnt mention they toke there son of 6 years of age. So maybe before you guys make a judgement call remember not all people that do pot are potheads some need the medical benifits when insurance cost to much.judge not least ye be judged

So, KBETS, does your front door open to the inside or out? Sounds as if the Drug Task Force should be looking at you.

You're right on the money with that one. Forget the whole "zero tolerance" thing, it's for medicinal purposes for that bunch. Wait until one of them stubs their toe and they'll buy a bail for the unbearable pain.

Are you and $ sharing the same bong or are you guys munching on Hash Brownies together? Speaking of which... Is Hash still on the scene these days?

Why does it always seem that "these people", have money for drugs but never have money for insurance, food or baby formula?

Last I heard an 'OZ' cost about $100.00. Am I to assume that they only smoke on Sundays?

$100 an o-z? Where? We haven't seen prices like that since the '70's and we could git it from Duanne Allman. Our 70 year Mis-guided Drug Policy has driven all prices for drugs thru the roof and has done nothing to stem either supply or demand.

Watch "Reefer Madness" sometimes...we haven't come too far from the day.

The government price for medical marijuana will be equivalent to $106 an ounce -- less than half the average street price in Canada, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Marijuana seeds will be sold at $15 for a packet of 30.

My quick search found that marijuana is being sold by the gram for $10.00.

So I would assume it’s safe to say that on ‘OZ’ of marijuana is going for around $250.00.

Sale of medical marijuana -- grown by Saskatchewan-based Prairie Plant Systems Inc. -- will be limited to people suffering from chronic or catastrophic illnesses, including cancer, HIV or AIDS, arthritis, multiple sclerois, or mystery ailments that cause serious pain or nausea but cannot be readily diagnosed.

As the article lists cancer as a reason to smoke marijuana, I’ll have to let that one slide.

Misspent youth department:
Does anyone know what Govt. distributed item weighs exactly one gram?

Now put down the joint and back slowly away from the keyboard. (Is that Kibbles and Bits?)

Smoking doesn't actually cure cancer - that's just a myth.

I am not sure how smoking pot helps a 'bad' heart but I am sure it's bad for the 6 year old. Even second hand smoke can cause asthma. Not to mention drug use in front of a minor may not really be a great way to promote a healthy lifestyle.

I assume that 'toke' was a 'Freudian' slip and you meant 'took'?

Anyway, relax, our prosecutor will probably not be able to get a conviction.

First, it is not necessary to be a "pot head" to violate the law. Second, it is bad news to be raising a 6 year old in a home with pot.
A person with cancer and heart defects, and no insurance, should go ahead and go either to an emergency room and demand proper treatment, or go to Grady and do the same. This is the USA, and we don't just treat rich people--most of the time.
Insurance does cost too much, no argument there. Many (maybe 25% of our population)can not affford insurance. Another 15% don't have enough.
Even corporations and small businesses can't afford to pay even partial insurance for their employees.
I don't want to get into "why" it is so high because the standard answer from conservatives is "research costs a lot, and doctors and our medical teams deserve to be paid well."
If that is good enough for you, ok.

$, did your mom type that for you? It's a (little) more coherent than usual.

One reason it's high is for all the frivolous law suits. John Edwards (a Democrat) is partly for that.
