    MacBeth, methinks you bring back fond memories of my youth! Ah, the fair damsels of the late '60's. Was there ever a more blissful era? Nay... it could not exist.

    (except for the draft, Vietnam, trying to save trees, etc., etc.)

    Another glaring waste of our tax dollars with absolutely zero positive effect on the "War on Drugs". The war on drugs is a lost cause.

    IMO we should...
    Legalize Pot
    Regulate and Tax
    Institute Rehab v. Prison for Coke and Heroin users who get busted.
    Impose Serious Hard time sentences for people caught dealing HARD Drugs.

    PS I'm not a pot smoker (I've dabbled in the past) but some of the most productive people I know are.

    It's true. :)

    Actually, I'd love to finally meet you. For some reason you seem to have the ability to irritate me like few other posters can. I think if I were finally able to meet you in person, I'd be able to consider the real person making the posts as opposed to the "Freak" persona.

    This has already worked for me: MadMax used to drive me crazy, now I think he's the nicest guy in the world; Refman used to irk me, now I'm okay with him; Rimbaud used to make me cringe, now ... well, even I have my limits.

    My take on it is that its a way of threatening users and dealers.
    This is the time of year that the supply dries up abit.
    It becomes harder to find pot than it normally is. The DEA is basically tellin ppl that their new efforts(stronger security at the borders, I think) are going to make it harder to find it around.

    I liked you better before I met you, when you were that other moniker. Now, every time I see one of your posts, I am forced to remember your shrill voice and hideous looks. Mostly, though, I have visions of that killer crossover.

    So, if I point out that it is "smarter than I" does that mean:
    rimbaud > MacBeth > HayesStreet
    or just
    rimbaud > HayesStreet, MacBeth > HayesStreet
    ?

    Also:

    if rimbaud > HayesStreet, then does HayeStreets know rimbaud?

    What are you doing Friday night? Pick you up at 8? ;)

    Unfortunately I don't know that I lose my powers of irritation on this board after a face-to-face...you can ask RM95, Major, BK, Clutch, etc.

    Man, MadMax is almost annoyingly nice as it is...I can't imagine him being any nicer. ;)

    I'm a Democrat, Max. We gotta like lawyers. We live in their pockets. I don't have any problem with lawyers. Used to work for some and they were swell. Long as you're not a cop, I think we'd get along fine.

    Some of the most reproductive people I know drink a lot of alcohol. Coincidence?

    I don't really care one way or the other on the drug war. I don't use drugs and have never felt compelled to do so. I just have never unsderstood complaints about unfair sentances for any offence. It isn't like people NEED to break the law. If you don't want to go to jail for smoking pot, the don't smoke pot. Smoking pot, getting busted, and complaining about the sentance is idiotic. I like to drink beer. If they outlawed beer though, I wouldn't b**** and moan about how reduiculous it is that I should be sent to prison for having a brew. I just would stop drinking. Legalize anythin you want, but please don't complain about the punishment for something that is illegal and therefor something that you shouldn't be doing in the first place.

    Wow, the DEA are deluded. I could fly over to Houston right now and get any drug I wanted within two hours of arrival. Even taking into account that giant ecstacy bust. ;)

    StupidMoniker, they tried outlawing alcohol in 1919. It didn't work then either.

    And some of the most productive people I know are sober people. Drugs (including alcohol) aren't an excuse for being worthless, and they definitely aren't a reason to assume worthlessness in others. They're just a lifestyle additive like coffee and food, except more harmful to your health.

    Sht, if drugs are illegal, then it should be illegal for fat people to eat at McDonald's. That's hazardous to their health and well being. Just add that one to the abbreviation list:
    M.I.P.(minor in posession)
    P.O.M.(posession of mar1juana)
    P.C.S.(posession of a controlled substance)
    and now,
    F.I.P.O.M.(fatso in posession of mcdonald's)


    Make em all punishable by an automatic 5 years, stevie's right.
