Is this Legal?

[Fish]

Oh my god, I just read this and it seems to imply that Lil' Spanky uses illegal drugs! Like the rest of you, I'm shocked!

Just say no, Lil' Spanky. Just say no!

Paddle dog, I like your idea. But I can perfect it. I'm going to have someone film me walk past the dog with a back pack full of bacon. Then not giving the cop permission to search the bag

I like the bacon plan, and "my" hippie has said he was moving soon.

[ebell]

if the bacon doesn't work as a distraction try a burrito wrapper stuck to your shoe.

I was getting off a flight from amsterdam in detroit and they had a beagle drug dog going up and down the line of people waiting for customs. The only thing i saw him tracking was the guy with a burrito wrapper stuck to his foot.

So much for thousands of dollars of training i guess.

Does richards post mean its not legal?

But anyways Where is Team Green? I thought for sure there might be someone speaking up there.

My "no" post was a response to Nancy Reagan. Dogs and police are legal.

BUT . . . we should learn from history and not continue to be so stupid. We tried prohibition and it did not work. In fact it created a lot of problems instead of solving them. We have been dealing with the drug issue for longer than I have been alive and its only gotten worse. All we have done is make cartels rich and in the process created a whole new type of criminal who has filled our jails to overflowing. We need to wake up and try something different. Like, legalize it, but include warnings and of course taxes. That would be the end of the cartels. That would be the end to the murderous environment in Mexico. That would reduce substantially the number of burglaries and the number of people in the lockups. Instead of spending no telling how much to keep the stuff out, we could use the tax to help people get off the stuff.

I had the good fortune to have been taught when I was young to stay away from that stuff. I have never had a cigarette in my mouth and I grew up when it was acceptable to smoke. I don't drink, so my statement is not an attempt to justify my bad habits . . . and drugs are a bad, and quite frankly, a stupid habit. I am looking at things the way they are rather than thru rose colored glasses.

Yo Spanke, I think you are screwed at a public institution such as a dorm on campus. It is a bit rediculous though. They are supposed to protect and serve NOT harass and entrap! You should take up Jermdogs offer and move in! TEAMGREEN has discovered that harassment is not the norm out west, especially in CA. In fact, we have three med. wellness shops in our town alone! :shock: Toe the line and pray for luck, or live somewhere that people have similar views/lifestyles as your own. Richard, you are way behind the times my friend. As far as what the Spankster is referring to NO cartels are involved w/ bringing the stuff here cause nobody smokes dirt anymore my man. The goods are typically produced in your hometown or Humboldt/Mendocino county ,CA in the good ole USA! I agree that legalization works and is a great thing. It takes away the shady dealing aspect and now your merely headed to the wellness shop(alt. med. pharmacy) for your meds. Also people never GET ON the stuff(no physical addiction can be developed), its actually harmless esp. w/ vaporization and has been proven to relieve arthritis, glaucoma, etc. in medical studies again and again. Also studies have proven bigger boofs are attainable after safety meetings. Gotta go I feel my arthritis in my AC joint flairin up! Miss you guys!

Richard, you are way behind the times my friend.

That would not surprise me a bit. I have never been a part of the drug scene so I wouldn't know. I just know we are spending a bunch trying to stop production in Columbia and Afghanistan. We are reading almost daily about drug traffic from Mexico. But we are also reading a lot about Meth labs in Arkansas.

The bottom line: We are wasting enormous resources doing things that history should tell us will not work.

I thought Fayetteville passed a measure last November decriminalizing marijuana - maybe not to the same extant as some laws out west, but I thought possession of certain amounts was now supposed to be treated as a "low priority" by law enforcement. Maybe since this is on-campus different rules apply.

At any rate, I work on drug studies at UAMS and have been involved with marijuana research, and I'm not going to lie, I have some first hand experience as well. Anyways, I don't think this is the proper venue to vent my own socio-political views, but I do enjoy discussing the work I've been involved with, so ask me about it on the river sometime.

I'm involved with a meth study right now. Does the ACC have a Team Crystal?

[A Savage spanke]

Faxon, you're right, sensible Fayetteville did pass. Unfortunately that only works if the cops believed in democracy., or listened to the wants of the people they are sworn to protect.

[A Savage spanke]

And from what I can tell, by my own experiences and my friends' is that the cops have actually gotten way stricter since then. But this could easily be for some other reason

Team "Crystal" pawned all their stuff Seventeen years ago along with selling their children for their subject needs! Not a one has been seen on the water since.

People everywhere can now head to their local doc and pharmacy now to get their fix... those who have enough money and insurance. The fastest growing addiction problem in this country is the one where the drugs are "legal"...

The various wars on the "dangerous" drugs (as opposed to the completely and entrirely safe ones like alcohol) are surely one of the biggest social and economic mistakes mankind has ever made. But, Spanky, UA dorm ain't the regular world - they can do stuff there they can't do to you in an apartment or on the street. Don't sign their residence hall contract, etc. and move the hell out if you don't like it. Until then, be careful bud. Don't want to have to visit you in another type of state run dormitory...
