No. I don’t think that the war on drugs is legitimate. That’s why I choose to stay in Oregon and know the law.
That being said, I know that if I take my weed outside of Oregon, I’m subject to both federal laws, and the laws of that state.
The way things should be is almost never the way things are. In a perfect world, you’re right. Nobody would get arrested over weed.
But we’re not in a perfect world. And since that’s the case, they should be prosecuted according to Federal and Nebraska law, the way that anybody else who drove herb into Nebraska would be.
The drug war isn’t fair. But neither is playing favorites because of someone being “old and cute.” They’re already somewhat protected because it’s just weed and they’re “white.”
Why should these people be given less of a punishment than a younger, darker skinned person with the same record?
