If it weren't illegal to possess and distribute objects (things), then what would the police do with their time?

Okay so now the various LE agencies involved have done their jobs, now the question is what will the courts do? I'm guessing not much and Tyrone's name will be back on case search for something else before years end.

Well geez. I thought we were free in America. As long as we don't harm others, I thought we could do pretty much whatever we wanted to do.

I guess I was wrong. I also see here that most commenters don't even want to be free.

Please oh mr government man tell me what I can eat or drink or smoke. Please tell me how to live my life. And spank me if I mess up.
