Smoke 'em if you got 'em

Here's what 1,500 pounds of pot looks like coming off the truck. The Houston Chronicle reports that the bundles were "wrapped in plastic and coated with calcium carbonate to mask the odor." The anonymous tip to police about the shipment probably came from a rival drug cartel.

It sounds like in this instance Barry Cooper's video wouldn't have helped much. ;) The former drug task force cop's controversial Never Get Busted Again DVD went on sale this week.

Think of this load as excess supply. That puts in perspective.

I just wonder how many other countries will turn to this cash crop and smuggle it into the US.

In 2004, 44.2 percent of the 1,745,712 total arrests in the US for drug abuse violations were for marijuana -- a total of 771,605. Of those, 684,319 people were arrested for possession alone. By contrast in 2000, a total of 734,497 Americans were arrested for marijuana offenses, of which 646,042 were for possession alone.

Sources: Crime in the United States: FBI Uniform Crime Reports 2004 (Washington, DC: US Government Printing Office, 2005), p. 278, Table 4.1 & p. 280, Table 29;

Now while efforts and resources are bing directed at the least harmful drug, while arresst for harmful drugs have dropped! One has to ask where is the common sense in this effort??? If pot was taken out of the total efforts of enforcement, WHAT KIND OF RETURN ON OUR TAX DOLLARS WOULD WE BE GETTING???
