Why don't the police arrest all the Marijuana users out there????

Tim	You obviously have no clue about the biggest gateway drug there is: NICOTINE, yet even though it is proven that cigarettes cause cancer among other things the government still chooses to peddle it to whoever is willing to pay the ever rising taxes on the product. Oh and I guess its also worthy to mention ALCOHOL, which causes more deaths, addiction, and drama than anyone who smokes marijuana would ever even get the motivation to cause. It sounds to me like your a little naive about the situation and maybe you should get some life experience before you start asking questions. Also I guess you'd like to pay the taxes it would cause to house all the "criminals" who smoke marijuana, or maybe we should just start letting real criminals go in favor of locking up non aggressive drug offenders. Sounds like the world would be a safer place if you were a cop.

NATHANIEL G	It's true that weed is a gateway drug, just ask any heroin, crack, coke, meth, user what they started off with, and they'll tell you it was weed,. Then ask that same person, what were they doing before weed, and the honest ones will tell you, alcohol. So I guess beer, wine and booze is the real problem. They banned booze in the thirties, and found out quickly that it wouldn't work. Why is pot still banned (it's still not working)

clueless about math	A little advice: Don't talk negatively about marijuana on the internet. Generally the only people who care enough to respond are those who smoke it, which leads to one sided statements and a lot of misinformation. To answer your question; the reason police aren't arresting all marijuana smokers is because most of them are harmless. That is not to say marijuana is harmless. It can make people apathetic and lazy. Not a good recipe for a healthy life. And you're absolutely right, smoking marijuana can lead to heavier drugs, but it's a little silly to blame the marijuana don't you think?

ickysmits	You need to smoke a joint and relax.

tyquniaum1	The police are only after the big boys.the ones that have grow large crops of Marijuana.Unfortunately most large crops are already protected by corrupt police.The corrupt cops get drugs and money to look the other way and protect the big sellers.

Tina Marie	If you were a cop and arresting all these people there would be a "hit" out on you. Don't swat at the butterflys when there is an alligator biting your a**.

David H	in most states marijuana does not come with jail time just a fine testing school kids is a fascist invasion of privacy their is no conclusive cause and effect connection that would make it a "gateway drug" its just propaganda,studies show 70% of pot smokers dont move on to harder drugs, most hard drug users do smoke pot, but most pot smokers dont do hard drugs marijuana does not cause mental illness, in fact studies show it can actually prevent alzheimer's

Marie	You're clearly ignorant if 1: You beileve all that crap you just spilled, and two: you think there is the man power/money/resources to do all that. I mean jeeze dude. It's not even worth my time to explain anything to you, really.

sweet_dreamwolf	Police have limited resources, so do the courts and jails ---so wouldn't you really rather have pedophiles, rapists, murderers, armed robbers, etc taking up their time??? I sure hope so.

invidiilo86	rent the movie super high me.it shows a guy that actually did research on whether it slowed the brain down on tests. it didnt. they just gained weight from being lazy very well researched also. i dont smoke but i think more people should. it is a stress reliever. it should be legal . we are paying for these people to be arrested. its a bunch of crap we should be spending our money on something we actually need to spend it on. waste of conv. look at other peoples opinions . which is more logical

patriotic italienneâ„¢ v1.01	Because they don't hurt anyone inside their house.

Sami V	Good suggestion but is there enough space in the prison because maybe the number is abnormal?
