too bad that'll drive up the local cost of weed. poor druggies'll have to steel more of our stuff.

Shouldn't the druggy still owe the cops twice as much dope due to the fact the fine is doubled in construction zones?

Legalise the stuff already. It'd take millions of dollars out of the criminals hands and put it right into healthcare.

A person should be more law abiding when doing illegal things.

Guess who is gonna be shot at in a week or two when this clown can't get his dope back from the man and he has no way of raising the money to pay for it? Them dope dealers one step up the food chain from this loser don't take kindly to this sorta thing going down. And they won't take an IOU or wait for a bank loan to be approved either. Guard your valuables, folks.

By far the best post ever harbinger.

I think this guy might be on our side right about now--wanting a stiff jail sentence and a long period of protection from who he owes.

A little tip for the judge who hears this fellas plea--don't let him out as whatever this loser owes will have to be stolen to be paid back--then they will likely kill him or he will have to kill his supplier.

Someone is a little moody that their shipment didn't come in?

Wow - f-bombs and everything.

In recent reports, action has been taken as the result of debts as low as $100. Now, I know it's "only weed", but I think the street value is well over $100 and the guy owes someone some money. The "powers that be" do not care about what the drug is, they just want their bottom line - the money. Do you really think they are going to say, "oh well, it is only weed, bummer..." I don't think so. Something is going to happen to him.

so the new drug enforcement method is traffic stops?

Posted by: my2bits on August 18 2008 6:39 PM

If it was an illegal search, and it probably was, then the guy will get off.

Posted by: Harbinger on August 18 2008 8:51 PM

But if he does get off I betcha he won't get his weed back. Plus don't forget the .38 calibre IOUs coming his way if he doesn't pay for it. You don't think it was his dope, didja? Not Likely. Ha ha ha . Get it? Likely? They grow the stuff there!!
