Regardless of what it was it's still illegal in that state at this point in time and he's knowingly breaking the law. Despite the severity of it what he's doing after his get out of jail pass earlier, if I'm him and really care about a second chance, I'm an absolute choir boy until I'm out of eligibility. This week paraphernalia, wonder what he'll be up to, because its pretty obvious he doesn't seem to care.
I'm not defending him and I don't disagree.
But first off, just because it's a law does not make it right. Man created these laws and man is very much fallible.
Did you know that there is laws in the books that if you are a truck driver and you don't make your bed in your sleeper you can get a ticket in some states? Did you know that because they used Angora goat hair in parachutes in ww2, if you raise them and shear them you can get a nice little credit on your taxes. (Both of those used to be, unsure if still on the books).
Did you know that in Iowa, the Iowa board of pharmacy held 4 open meetingd across the state and decided mj has medical value?
Did you know that when they reported that to Iowa law makers, they said then make the laws. Did you know that the board of pharmacy said we are doctors not lawmakers?
That was over 5 years ago. When there were still people alive and around who were in before they outlawed it and got their mj from the government themselves??
The law is not always right and rarely even makes sense. I suppose that is what keeps lawyers in business, because it's open to interpretation.
Now, I have also seen first hand when a state goes full on legal, young couples with a baby and a backpack show up in that state.
I had friends who went to do chores and found people sleeping in their sheds.
I watched the homeless rate skyrocket.
I think there has to be a middle ground.
I think there are people who can smoke mj and be fine. It doesn't affect work, family or anything. It's a medication and just like asprin for a headache, you don't use it every day because you don't have a headache every day.
The same with alcohol.
In the end, pot was put here for a reason.
Jesus turned water into wine for a reason.
The universe only exists because of balance.
Without the moon, earth wouldn't be what it is. Without small parts the food chain would collapse.
So alcohol, pot, asprin, pain killers, pizza, fried foods, life and everything that exists is about balance.
