People Dying Over Marijuana: Is This What We Want?
Is this what the American public wants? People being killed and seriously injured ... over marijuana? Should the government be wasting lives and millions of dollars just to keep up the appearance that pot prohibition is working?
Ken McLaughlin, Brandon Bailey, San Jose Mercury News: Game warden shot near Mount Umunhum: Suspect Dies During Raid On Pot Farm
(requires sign in)
The unidentified dead man, who had been guarding the pot farm, was hit in an exchange of gunfire during the raid, which was carried out by Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies. A second suspect being sought was considered armed and dangerous.
The public is ready to accept the end of the Federal war on marijuana. Californians have said so at the voting booth. Why are politicians so afraid to speak out against this disastrous and hypocritical war on our own friends, family, and neighbors?

Because no one wants to be seen as senator pothead? It's a problem, I agree. I just can't get over the fact that those plants are worth 4K each. And with tens of thousands of them, do they really think the growers are not willing to resort to violence over their livelihood? Not saying they're justified using violence (neither were the law enforcement officals though) but this is just common sense. The system as it exists now is corrupt. And to me, it's not worth it.
Yes, I agree, it's not worth it. I also wonder how much truth there is to the aspersions that the pot growers are causing environmental damage. I suspect that may be propaganda.
