Jim tells drug warriors: please extract craniums...
Dick parrots: "just say no."
On September 11th, the Orange County Lincoln Club will be hosting a debate on the initiatives that are on the November ballot, including Prop 19, the “legalize marijuana” initiative. The debate host is Clare Venegas.
The debate is open to Lincoln Club members who are in good standing, whatever that means. The event will feature a pro/con speaker for each side. On the Prop 19 pro side is probably the most knowledgeable man in the United States when it comes to drug policy – retired Judge Jim Gray. Judge Gray recently wrote a book titled Why our drug Laws Have Failed and What We Can Do About It.
On the con (pun intended) side is Mr. Dick Ackerman who’s wife recently ran for the state assembly in the 72nd district while claiming she lived in a rented room at a friend’s house even though everyone knew she (and Dick) were living in a “top secret” gated community in Irvine. Carpetbaggin’ and lying to the public is just fine; smoking a joint is the devil’s work.

Dick Ackerman? The Judas of the Fairgrounds? The Judge will wipe the floor with him.
Will the judge, taking the pro 19 side, address how the implementation of prop 19 will not violate the 5th amendment of the US Constitution?
Since prop 19 will not make marijuana legal, because it does not change federal drug laws. The filling out of a California state marijuana tax form, would be the same as a signed confession. A clear problem to the validity of the prop 19 as it would violate peoples rights under the 5th amendment.
Now I hope that the tossing of prop 19 by the courts, doesn’t remove the pop-head tax also.
I am voting for prop 19 so the pot-heads can pay a lot more in taxes.
Well, Cook, the “pot heads” as you so cleverly call them are your friends and neighbors, many professionals, all of who would like to be able to enjoy a benign substance like grownups. So, if you have anything intelligent to say, do so. Otherwise, off you go.
I did have something to say, but you could not read it cause I also said “Pot-Heads”.
There is another post about changing the federal law on marijuana. Now that effort would accomplish something. This one, prop 19 does nothing, it is a sham.
But maybe you know more on how it will work. Tell me how California Prop 19 will stop the DEA from arresting someone in California from pushing marijuana to grade school children? Or over 18 years of age adults?
