Unlike Colorado that collects pot tax money thru pot sales, Florida takes your money property and cars, on top of ruining your life by labeling you a criminal.
If a cop pulls you over in a traffic stop and sees a roach in your ashtray, that is all he needs to call a tow trk to seize your vehicle, along with any money you have with you before he places you under arrest for possession.
Before you go to trial the state may offer you a "deal". If you let the state keep your car and money and offer no court fight to get it back the state will drop all charges against you. Isn't that nice.
It doesn't matter if you're a big drug dealer or a lowly pot smoker, the state wants your assets.
Here's an awesome muscle car collection, going going gone.. Have a good day.

If a cop in say Tennessee pulls you over and he asks you if you have a large amount of cash on you and you say, well yes I do officer.
You better be ready to just hand it over to him. Because he already convicted you of making it from drugs.

See those people on line in Colorado? Notice anything?
No one's talking about the way they look.
"Growing up in the Bay Area in the late sixties and Seventies, I can tell you I saw a lot of stoners who could not function without their morning hit. Too many of my friends progressed to harder drugs. later in life I saw the damage of Needle Park in Switzerland. I lost someone I loved to that evil place. When I left Switzerland I was convinced drugs as recreational were insanity. I must admit I never tried drugs, not even pot but I do know the dangers of it and saw it first hand.
To allow the progressive thought process make drugs acceptable is just another step in society's decline. Add to that the inherent evil and greed of the bureaucrat lusting after the new stream of revenue and not caring about the aftermath is disheartening.
This scourge to society is growing in acceptance and will be more of our undoing.
While I wish there was more I could do, I see no hope in this matter, man will always pursue his vices to his destruction."
DDDDUUUUDDDDEEEE!!!!! Pot?????? Yeah. Dude, like, I smoke a lot of pot--man. Um, uh, well, like, ya-know, like, yeah. Pottttttt RRRUUUULLLLEEEESSS.

Defenders of the status quo are always stronger than reformers seeking change,
UNTIL the status quo self-destructs from its own corruption, and the reformers are free to build on its ashes.

Nixon saw people that smoked pot wanted no part in his stupid republican war of hurting and killing people in Vietnam.
Where do people get off being history revisionists?? 4 months after taking over from Johnson -- Viet Nam was the Democrats war -- Nixon began efforts in earnest to negotiate peace with the North Vietnamese, starting with personal letters to North Vietnamese leaders -- then "shuttle diplomacy" -- leading to peace talks in Paris. I was no fan of Nixon, being a democrat then, but I was ashamed of my party.
At least try look for -- and use the truth -- not just political screeds.

Marijuana has been approved in several states to treat varying ailments, including chronic pain. Given the addictive qualities of other pain medications NFL players often are given to treat the pain caused by injuries sustained on the field, there is a growing number of people advocating the use of marijuana, which doesn't have the same addictive qualities.
I would just think that the use of marijuana for pain management, it would be a far better outcome to me than it would be for the abuse of heavy narcotics like pills of [Vicodin] or Percocet or whatever the pill of choice is for pain in the NFL,' 7-time Pro-Bowler and Super Bowl champion Lomas Brown said on the Morning Show after Goodell made his comments about being open to allowing players to use marijuana.
Due to the physical demands of playing in the NFL, players often suffer painful injuries and are forced to treat the pain with narcotic prescription drugs, on which they can become dependent.
In 2006, then-Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens overdosed on Hydrocodone.
One player who could benefit tremendously from the NFL allowing marijuana to be used to treat pain is Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin, whose chronic migraine headaches have sidelined him at several points throughout his career. Marijuana, experts say, is highly effective in treating the pain caused by migraine headaches.
Brown adds that he suspects several NFL players currently use marijuana.

Mom goes from drug-selling teen to recovery program grad
Danetta Crook began selling drugs at an early age, a trade she inadvertently learned from her father.
Crook said her father sold marijuana, and at the age of 14 she started stealing from his stash to sell to her friends.
By the age of 18, she had graduated to selling PCP and cocaine.
Selling drugs was something that seemed normal.
"More people in my family go to prison than to college," she said.

Pot vs Cigarettes: One (now acceptable) turns you into a babbling idiot, the other (still taboo) sharpens your thinking and raises your IQ.
Brain Researchers: Smoking increases intelligence
Research shows that tobacco simply increases the brain's capacity for work - both the speed, endurance and concentration. The effect is also there using nicotine gum and patches, but not nearly the same strength as smoking. The reason is that when nicotine is inhaled through the smoke, then it hits the brain quickly & efficiently - in seconds - and gives it a "kick". The effect lasts for 25-60 minutes.
Some employers have figured this out and admit that it does not pay to prevent employees from smoking. This applies for example. the owner of the translator agency TheBigWord in Leeds, Larry Gould, who says that he was shocked when he found out that the smoking translators worked much better in the period immediately after their smoking breaks. Larry Gould now encourages all employees to take breaks and to get the same productivity out of non-smokers, of which he got from the smokers, he has supplied all levels in the company with candy and confectionery, which also stimulate the brain.
Already in 1994, the nicotine researchers Stough, Gordon and others in New Zealand attempt to quantify the strength of the effect of smoking. They found that nicotine in smoking could increase intelligence by 6 points in IQ tests. If you have an IQ of 100 - which is the average - smoking will therefore be able to increase it to 106, according to these studies.
Do successful anti-smoking campaigns reduce the population's level of intelligence?
Other researchers point out the positive impact of smoking on the major advances and artistic creativity that have taken place in Europe and the U.S. over the last few centuries. A large number of writers and artists have been known as a passionate smokers, and geniuses like Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein have praised tobacco positive effect on their thinking.
The English psychology professor Bruce Charlton asks on his blog ; "Are we sacrificing genius and great inventions with anti-smoking campaigns in favor of longevity?" His answer: Maybe ...
