re: #50 Sharmuta

First of all, I agree with your stance on child molestors, I am continually amazed at how light the sentences are for rapists and child molestors.

But back to your question…

1st of all, they (pot smokers) are currently breaking the law and if a law exists it should be enforced. We can’t pick and choose which laws to follow and which ones to ignore and can’t choose which laws to enforce and which ones to ignore.

2nd, the response argument you make (no harm no foul) is on the surface, sound, but can be applied to many other things. Are you for decrimializing heroin? LSD? cocaine? other controlled substances? How about running red lights at night when no one is around or attempting suicide, etc. My position is that if there is a law it should be enforeced if you don’t like it, get it changed. Besides, this is a deviation of your original post that I originally commented on (which was a resource issue).

Regarding your original wasted resource point, ALL I was saying is that resources are always limited, but they need to be applied to enforece ALL laws.. it’s not an either/or situation.
