How Funny! In this article, we are told that the police in Kansas actually raided and confiscated over one hundred thousand dollars worth of marijuana on several sites in Linn County, Kansas, but arrested no one! Speculating that the growth of all this marijauna must be the "work of Mexican nationals", not the work of Mexican Americans, or other kinds of Americans, not the work of Mother Nature, or even the work of Satan, but the "work of Mexican nationals", they installed camaras, in hopes that those growing this crop might come back for photographs! This is almost as funny as the character of Barney Fife on Andy Griffith, for those of you who are old enough to remember black and white TV. There may even be a few people out there who are old enough to remember the days when marijuana was not illegal, and this would not have been considered a newsworthy story.
"Prohibition laws", as we call them, were not fashionable in this country until alcohol prohibition was passed. Lots of well-meaning teachers and historians will tell kiddies in school that temperance activists, like Carrie Nations, got that law passed, but I don't think so. I think the Mafia had more to do with passing prohibition, since they are the ones who benefitted from it and got rich because of it. And after alcohol prohibtion was finally repealed, citing the many, many problems it caused this nation, the Mafia, and possibly other organized crime groups influenced our elected leaders to outlaw marijuana. Think, for a minute, about all the money drug cartels would NOT make if marijuana were legal. Also, inasmuch as references to Mexicans are concerned, back in 1937, when marijuana was federally outlawed, lots of congressmen and senators, after they voted on it, made very prejudiced comments about Mexicans. Just do a google search on the subject if you don't believe me.
I have been clean and sober for a long time, and have no more need for pot than I have for tequila, but I do not need to tell anyone else not to drink in order to keep tequila out of my diet. I feel the same way about pot. We have a child, Adam Herrman, who has been missing in Kansas for over ten years, and efforts to find him have all but ceased. I have not seen any renewed efforts by the police to find him in over a year......but we have plenty of police resources to put up camaras at suspected pot farms and try to get pics, and then when we don't get any pics, there is still plenty of time for the cops to confiscate all the pot! Where's the eye-rolley when I need it? Or perhaps I need a middle finger emoticon for this.................
Kansas! Get a clue! First of all, as a parent, I resent the false teaching in schools about why drugs are against the law. If the government really cared about anyone, Adam Herrman would never have been adopted by abusers and have gone missing. We have prohibition laws because our representatives are in the back pockets of folks who run drug cartels. Lets go ahead and tell the truth about it to our children. It's what I tell mine. Next; we need police to find missing children, arrest domestic violence thugs, respond to auto accidents, apprehend theives, and make angry fistfighters cease and desist. Why should tax payors have to pay for the police to harvest and destroy a field of pot?
And Kansas cops, this is for you, although you've probably already inhaled:
