I guess when your mom told you that smoking pot would destroy your brain cells, she was right.
A Man in Quincy Mass. posted an ad on the classified site Craigslist recently advertising that he had Marijuana for sale. The ad stated “420 help is here. Give me a ring if you need some help.” and listed his phone number in the ad. Naturally, police called the number and arranged a meeting with the man. When they showed up at his house, the undercover police officer purchased a small amount of marijuana, and arrested him for dealing.
420 is an old code used by people who smoke pot and is believed to have originated at a California high school in the early 1970′s to let people know what time of day students would be gathering near the school after class to smoke up.

I LOVE these stories because they drive home the point that all over the USA there are thousands and thousands of tons of pot being grown, transported, sold and smoked and there's NOTHING the cops can do about it, they don't even catch 5%. Pot should be legal. Mexico just legalized possession of small amounts of all drugs. Switzerland just legalized heroin. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and their experience has been positive. Now if you are caught with a 10 day supply of your drug or less you face an administrative court, not a criminal court, but in practice they are just not arresting people. A group of 10,000 very serious policemen, prosecutors, attorneys and citizens have formed a group to legalize ALL drugs, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition ) They see what happened when we legalized alcohol in 1932 as a good example of how drug legalization would work. This foolish war on drugs has lasted 37 years and cost us over a TRILLION dollars and we are not an inch closer to stopping drugs. How many millions of Americans are we going to lock up in prison for decades? Mark Montgomery boboberg@nyc.rr.com
