California Gov. Jerry Brown Vetoes Drug “Defelonization” Bill..

[Galileo126]

7. This is silly...

The math doesn't add up. If I get caught with $200 worth of weed and get arrested, the California tax payer gets on the hook for paying my $40-50K per year incarceration.

Since when does $200 = $40K?

I haven't smoked weed in over 10 years, but JEEZ... enough already! What's the worst thing that can happen to a pot smoker...?

(a) A ticket for driving waaaaay too slow (if they had any inkling TO drive). I remember not even wanting to be behind the wheel while stoned. (As apposed to the drunk drivers. etc etc)

(b) Eat an entire bag of Chips-a-hoy cookies.

(c) Watch a cool movie or listen to some cool tunes (with headphones, of course).

(d) Fall asleep.

No, it's all about Federal money coming to state gov'ts to fight the "war on drugs". It's a big business racket, and there is plenty of pork to go around. "Give us our bacon!!" sayeth the governors.
