Ark. resort raided, owners, 2 residents arrested

As I said, (This is an example of the CSA working as intended).
How is this? First I don't agree with the all the policies of the CSA. We shouldn't define the people's ability to be respectable and responsible citizens by what we possess to consume. We should be able to define one's citizenship by how they treat the people of their community and by whether they have the morals to accept responsibility for the damages and/or deaths caused by their negligent actions and decisions.

Honestly, I can't seem to be able to understand why anyone in their right frame of mind would want to willingly use any type of chemical mixture. This includes alcohol, over the counter and prescription drugs.

But, since there are people who do want to use, DON'T ENDANGER THE WELFARE OF AN INNOCENT CHILD WITH YOUR IGNORANCE. The potential dangers are explosive. If you want to burn yourself up that's one thing, go ahead and knock yourself out. GET YOUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER THOUGH. Be a good parent make sure your children are safe first. Second get away from as many people as possible, I'd be really pissed if you were to blow my place up with your toxic crap. Third, really think about what your doing and decide whether you have the courage to be responsible for any and all damages you may cause while under the influence of your poison.

I have accepted the fact that people will continue to try different things. Not that I really like some of them. But we have went overboard on the prohibition policies, and they have proven to fail.

The policies should protect the innocent such as this 2 yr old child and the people whose lives may be in danger in that community. If people choose to use and manufacture for their own use, here's an idea. License individuals in the USA to manufacture. Yea, some people would say that's stupid. Think about it we already have people in place who can be redeployed for inspecting the labs, checking permits, we do have some of the best quality control programs of the world. Even though some of them go beyond the use of basic common sense. We claim to be the superior intelligence on this planet, yet we don't like the facts we try to change them. How about we find a way to take advantage of them? Use a little common sense.

There are people at the borders already in place to be deployed as collectors and inspectors for the government. Yes, this is a concept that hasn't be thought of by those in power. If the drug cartels of the world wants to keep shipping their products into the USA they pay a tariff. If a product is found on someone attempting to smuggle them into the country, confiscate, test the quality, and resell to a licensed supplier if it is of clean quality. If not dispose of it properly.  

Continuing to enforce the policies that are presently in place is the same as passing a law that requires every citizen to consume peanuts or a peanut by-product daily. It won't work, simply because there are too many peoples lives at stake due to allergies. We seem to enforce a law that ignores one basic fundamental fact: what's the right choice  for some of the people may end up being the wrong choice for other people. This law is imposed upon the people by people who don't know us as individuals well enough to have the final say as to what we believe is the right product for us to consume.  

I'll be the first to admit I don't really care who knows I would like to be able to consume marijuana without being discriminated against by my employees (OVEREDUCATED ELECTED OFFICIALS). I wouldn't mind paying a $100.00 a yr registration fee, if I could also legally grow the 6-10 plants I may consume a year. Sorry to disappoint you, not everybody is an over abuser of the herb. A full 30 grams of herb will last me about 45 days.
Now, my ideal grow space would be 12"-16"wide by 16"deep by 18"-24"tall. We are talking about 6-10 plants that never get more than 12"-18"tall. each one may produce as much as 20 grams (approx. 2/3 of an ounce). So essentially with that in mind I would never be in possession of more than 1.5 ounces of cured consumable herb.
