marijuana cures cancer, and has been patented by the US Government since 1942 if you make the cancer cure illegal, then you make cancer endemic and better believe me they have a cure for you: it is "give me all your money for death by chemotherapy"

Sure. I'd believe these crackpots before I'd believe all the learned researchers and doctors who say otherwise.

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?... Are we proud of ruining 2 18yr olds lives so when people (employers?) Google their name in the future a pot bust comes up?
This is immoral...

Understandably, this is not the crime of the century, but where do we draw the line when it comes to the police enforcing the laws of this State and the United States. How about this? Let’s not have the police enforce the burglary laws. Let me come over to your house and help myself to whatever I want. Guess you could stay home with a gun and I can bring a gun, but let’s not enforce those laws either and whoever is a better shot wins. These individual know that drugs are against the law, but they made their choice to partake in their use. I’m not here to debate the marijuana laws, but until the day they legalize it, it is still against the law and these individuals know it. It seems that in the near future that law will be changed, but until then it is illegal. If they are worried about their future, they wouldn’t be using drugs. And the ”breakinga butterfly on a wheel”, it is your opinion that this is a small matter, to me breaking into your house is what I consider “breaking a butterfly on a wheel”.

Unfortunately it's getting to the point now that the only victims are those caught doing the crime. People moan and ask how can this happen when someone with a rap sheet a mile long and out in the streets finally commits a serious offense like murder. Yet they're willing to give these same people passes time and time again till something tragic happens.
CheKeroauc January 17, 2013 at 10:49 pm
WOW!
What have you been smok'n?
Jim Court January 18, 2013 at 03:14 am
Leo,
Yours is an extreme example and have no correlation to each other. One is pretty much victimless, unless of course you ignore the violence fostered by the illegal nature that supports the cartels and leads to gang violence and the other is an attack on someones possessions, which is theft.
Leo January 18, 2013 at 04:00 pm
Yes it is an extreme example, my point exactly....but just because the violence isn't knocking on Elmhurst's door there still is violence when it comes to drugs. Ok, so marijuana is legalized, that will stop the violence. Well, there still is cocaine and heroin, wait, let's legalize them too, then there will be no violence. The main point is what laws should the police enforce, only the ones you deem are right, but someone else might deem those shouldn't be enforced. This conversation could go on forever on who is right and who is wrong...the law is the law, if you don't feel a certain law is right then change it somehow besides flapping on the patch
CheKeroauc January 18, 2013 at 05:27 pm
Being drunk in public is a victimless crime too. But we don't allow it for various reasons, one being that a drunk might do harm to himself or others.
This country ignored the laws about illegal immigration, which also could be viewed as a victimless crime. Now we have over 12 million illegal immigrants in this country, contributing to our burgeoning gang and prison population, school overcrowding, high medical costs, neighborhood overcrowding, unsafe highways, loss of national identity, and on and on. Not enforcing our laws can have grave consequences.

I think it is a disgusting absurdity to proudly use a name referring to communist revolutionaries (Che Guevara, and Jack Keroauc) which are the epitome of the sickening failure and horrors of bolshevik communism in the 20th century, both of whom were apologists for the ideology behind psychopath mass murders like joseph stalin, mao se tung, To be in America arguing and spewing nonsensical communist ideologies with a hegelian dialectic agenda behind them, rather than tackling issues with the use of critical thinking skills, deductive reasoning and the use of logic, based on the merits of the true history of the united states, which is not taught in schools today, makes me want to puke.
Arguing that legalizing marijuana is similar to legalizing cocaine or heroin is like comparing apples to oranges, both are completely different in nature, structure and effect. Heroin is an opiate, and is extremely dangerous, I have never seen anyone ever, ever recover from heroin addiction. Why would a country need a Department of Education, or 456 Government Agencies within the federal government? It's to control what people think. So when you speak the truth you have to deal with trolls trying to use NLP conversational transference. The US Constitution was written on Hemp paper. didn't you read the Patent, it says Cannibanoids are Neuro-Protectants, and Neuro-Antioxidants, known by the US Gov. since 1942.
CheKeroauc January 19, 2013 at 09:52 pm
Didn't you read about the dangers of smoking weed from doctors and researchers at BROWN UNIVERSITY? (That's an Ivy League institution in case your memory is impaired.)
BTW You really made me laugh my ass off---Jack Kerouac a communist revolutionary!!!! The guy who was a classmate and life long friend of William F Buckley!!! Where do you come up with this stuff????
CheKeroauc January 19, 2013 at 11:49 pm
Sorry.... forgot to post the Brown University link......

Why you think Cannabis is illegal, vs Why Cannabis is really ILLEGAL
http://i.imgur.com/zUrsm.jpg You have no points to argue, the fish rots from the head down brother, you lost all credibility with your communist name, and further more when you would point to a university study that was obviously done for political purposes. Everyone knows they do whatever it takes to get federal grants... if not no $,$$$,$$$,$$$ Read the Chart I posted again closely... what is brown truly arguing, and then on top of that, compare it to the Patent that Israeli Pharmaceutical companies hold, along with the US Gov. for it's medical benefits. Why would so many people like to use it for medical purposes? Why is it being suppressed. Maybe because it is a neuroprotectant, and neuro-antioxidant that say protects your brain when you hold a cellphone up to your head, or you stand infront of your microwave cooking stuff up, or you happen to drink out of aluminum cans. among many other things which are toxic for you but are legally allowable. http://i.imgur.com/zUrsm.jpg <<<--- CHART http://www.google.com/patents/US6630507 <--- US Gov. / Israeli PATENT's

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.
