What is wrong with this country, where cops and judges place more focus on pot-smokers and weed-farmers than women being abducted and murdered? Judging by this loopy sentence, let's see, I've had about 7,300 joints passed to me -- that's 1,825 years' worth of jail time in that puritan of a judge's opinion (I've probably passed the same right back, so I guess double it). I hope he enjoys his whisky neat and Cuban when he gets home! Good thing all the drugs he likes are legal. It seems to me he should have a toke once in a while. Mellow out, dude! When are we Gen-Xers going to take over and get rid of all this intolerant, religiously and puritanically motivated "morality"? Chris Hill, Vancouver - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
