WELL IT"S ABOUT TIME: TICKETS FOR POT POSSESSION

Today's Waterloo Region Record has this story titled "Chief supports tickets for pot possession". The annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is currently meeting in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They may have come out of the dark ages with their suggestion to limit simple possession of marijuana to tickets only; but could they only have damaged a few hundred thousand more lives first? What about all the minor drug charges that have gone through our Kitchener courthouses this year alone? What about police officers who have been suspended, fired or demoted over simple pot use.

This is the height of hypocrisy. If tickets are appropriate now then they would have been appropriate ten, twenty or fifty years ago. Our courts have been deluged with these petty crimes and our taxpayers overburdened with dealing with them. Now you finally think backing off would be a good idea? Why don't you and your precious courts go f... yourselves? The older I get the more I realize our laws are a joke . They should have quit back at the ten commandments with the exception of the following law. Anybody who makes new laws should face capitol punishment. Hypocritical pricks enforcing stupid laws for decades and turning citizens into criminals for their own financial gain and status. The bunch of you go f... yourselves.
