Depends on the state. In CA if you own a house and get caught growing weed, they can seize your house. It also depends on how often you get caught. For first time offenders they often just send you to treatment.

I think it depends on what state your in…in CA most cops would just toss the weed and let you go. Somewhere like VA or TX for instance, I’d be scared of getting caught.
I would agree to some degree though, that the majority of the arrests are saved for minorities…good ‘ol racism, alive and well!
Read MoreTrue or False… The US Government cant stop the “War on Drugs” ONLY because they would have to fire cops?
Question: True or False… The US Government cant stop the “War on Drugs” ONLY because they would have to fire cops?
ending the war on drugs would save us billions in money from NOT funding the war on drugs anymore ALONG with also adding BILLIONS on top of that from Legalizing and taxing Marijuana
Now my question is THE ONLY REAL REASON THEY CANT STOP IS BECAUSE THEY WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE TAKING AWAY 80% OF “WORK” FROM COPS WHO WOULD NEED TO BE LET OFF DUE TO NOT BEING NEEDED WITHOUT THIS HUGE REdikULIOUS WAR ON DRUGS
Most lives that are destroyed in court are done so on NON VIOLENT offenders
while we DONT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR RAPIEST AND MURDERERS? THIS IS ASS-BACKWARDS.
April showers… they would not want a job where they cant impose their will over others.my father is a cop and its a trait most of them have in common. they could not be in a position where they cant be telling everyone what to do
Steelsink- You give a Straw-man argument, then say imprison more citizens who would NOT rob you(young kids smoking weed) if they saw you alone in the street. Then say bring more cops.
thats one of the worst plans i have ever heard i hope you where kidding.

Do most “war on drugs” people realize that they fundamentally agree with Obama on one key issue?
Question: Do most “war on drugs” people realize that they fundamentally agree with Obama on one key issue?
Many “conservatives” who are for the “war on drugs” don’t realize that they agree with Obama on maybe the most fundamental issue of all, who owns your body. Everything starts from there, freedom does and tyranny does. Freedom says that you own your body and you can do with it what you will as long as you don’t hurt anyone else. Tyranny says that some people know what is best for you and you are too stupid to make your own decisions so the government is going to make laws to dictate how you live your personal life, even if no one else is harmed by your actions.
“War on drugs” people and Obama agree that the state should have the power to dictate what you can do with your body. This is pretty clear.
I can already hear the “war on drugs” people, but…but, drugs destroy families and hurt children. Alcohol does, divorce does, and these things hurt families and children more than all of the “illegal” drugs combined. Do you guys want to ban alcohol and divorce?
This tactic is just a way to change the direction of the argument, there are already laws against hurting children and there are laws against slavery, so no one can legally be held in a bad relationship. We are talking about people who just want to seek their own pleasures in their private lives and hurt no one, but themselves potentially, in the process.
By the way, this is coming from someone who does not smoke or drink or use any drug of any kind. I am personally against all of them, but I do believe in freedom and I know that the power of the state is far more destructive than any drug that could ever be grown or created.
To all, I am against socialized medicine. People should totally pay for their own stupidity. No one has a “right” to emergency care or any care at all.
If kids buy drugs, their parents should really take it to their butts, that is what we need though, parents taking charge, not legislators. People, not government.
