I feel like a ****ing criminal

Mom Is in Illinois and dying so I have to get there. I am a legal medical marijuana user and will take some cannabis with me. I have to go thru Wyoming and Nebraska, both are exploiting the marijuana situation. By exploiting the marijuana issue you mean it is illegal to have marijuana in those states.  Trying to say they are overwhelmed with all the drug trafficking. The cops are saying it plays on their conscience because it is illegal federally. It is illegal int eh staes,DUmbass. Bring weed into Nebraska pay your fine. Bring over an ounce, go directly to jail. Since when did a cop have a conscience??? Why don't it bother the blue states conscience. Because the RED states are a bunch of CHICKENSHIT, RIGHT WING, ANTI-AMERICAN, UNEDUCATED,SUPERSTITIOUS,ZEALOTS. I highly suggest you drive around my state, DUmbass, because if I stop you I will show you exactly how much I care about my state and it's laws, and your issues with not beying them. The hypocrite bastards claim they want government out of your life, but they are the main culprits that want to control my morals but not theirs. I will give them zero reasons to pull me over, so I'll see how this goes. All they will have on me is an out of state tag that has legal marijuana user behind the wheel, who will not be impaired in any way. Except for fear. 62 years old driving across American, in fear of my protectors.
Something creepy about this picture.


Sure- sure... you won't be under the influence of Marijuana as you drive... You can't go a day without it even though you know it's illegal to have- even if you are going to see your 'dying mother'. Go **** yourself, DUmbass.

We protect decent people from people like you. I can see how that colors your view of the world. Tough shit.

Mrs. Lib and I have some problems we feel some cannabis oil could help, but we live in an ass backward state.


The only laws that the DUmpmonkiez support are those that support the DUmpmonkiez world views. All other laws are oppression. Leftists laws are 'settled science'.

7. Watch out for cops pulling over any car they see from a pot state. At least I read an article about (Wyoming?) cops doing that to cars with Colorado plates. Maybe its just rumors, but it rings true.


Let's see... I am on patrol and see a Colorado plated car with a shit load of marijuana bimperstickers and Barry bumperstickers odds are I am going to follow that car waiting for them to **** up. They will. Went they are stopped they will smell like marijuana smoke. Step out of the car, please. Fail the field sobriety test but blow 0.00 on the PBT? No problem. Call in the drug dog. Find the stash. Escort for a blood test. Positive THC. I give you a free ride to county jail.

OR- I see a car with no bumperstickers driving fine. I don't stop it. No problems.

DUmpmonkiez always bitch about situations they put themselves into.

I have had six drug busts so far this year- five were High School kids. Three were at the High School. All were with Colorado Marijuana brought in. Only one was a long term 'doper'.

Don't know why we'd be pissed off about Colorado's hippy population.

Now who could of had any idea that legalizing pot in one state was going to cause a problem in another.

When I was a teenager, one joint could get you 15 years in the pen in S.C.. It was mostly low class trash from up north using the stuff back then. But then doctor's, lawyer's and politician's kids started getting caught with the stuff and lo and behold the penalties had to be reduced.

Oh yeah. you are sooooooo getting pulled over.

Jail. It is a real possibility for you. I suggest doing without the weed for your trip. (I know, I'm talking to a DUmmy. Its just the only way he won 't meet Bubba, the lonely inmate...Cause you just know who will be the b!tch.)

edit to add:
Emails sent warning Illinois, Wyoming and Nebraska highway patrols. Tags with "legal marijuana user behind the wheel" means he has a two week stash in the car.

I'll let you know how it went. And I promise to bite my tongue if I do get pulled over. It's hard to do when you know you are not a bad person, cause no one harm and are passionate in their beliefs in the value of marijuana. Plus I just don't like cops.

Bingo! It was CO that changed its law, not NE and WY. It was this DU-member who chose "medical" marijuana instead of legal - and often better - medications (assuming he has a real medical condition rather than a phony pretext for recreational use). And is declining to use legal medications for the duration of his trip.

Choices and actions have consequences, and whining about potential consequences that you dislike is childish. Make sure all your tail lights and turn signal lights work, obey traffic laws, and NE and WY troopers, sheriffs, and police have better things to do than follow a car just because it has CO plates.

This right here. Being a Colorado resident, I've lost count of how many people I've met that use weed for "medical" reasons. I'm sure this lib is cut from the same cloth. No mention of condition at all but whatever it is, I'm sure medical science came up with a much better treatment for it before the dispensaries started popping  up all over the place here.

There wouldn't be a problem if the jug-eared muslim enforced federal drug laws.

Marijuana is illegal in the United States.

If all the money saved by ignoring immigration laws was put into drug enforcement, we could get a hell of a lot more democrats off the street.

I live in CA. Anyone who thought about it would have known that "medical marijuana"was a false-flag back-door means of hindering enforcement of the law. A lot of Californians didn't think, and together with the minority who already favored legalization, they passed that ballot proposition.

Can you show me other uses that have been tested and proved to be effective?

Maybe Reality vs DU could tell you better.

The only legitimate treatments I have heard of for medical marijuana are glaucoma, appetite disorders, and late term cancer treatments.

Hi Dutch,

Real quick anecdotal story and then I have to run.  I will get back to you on this later.

My wife was in a car accident 17 years ago.  She was in the back seat of the car and was the only one that survived.  The driver was decapitated.  The passenger, her best friend, was also killed.  This was a very serious accident. 

She was obviously seriously injured and required months of treatment.  One of the nagging issues still to this day is neck pain that causes severe migraines.  She has had surgery for this twice, and a ton of therapy.  It has helped considerably, however the neck pain and subsequent migraines do still happen.  These migraines usually get so bad that they put her on the floor and make her basically not able to function.  Sometimes they bring her to tears.  She is left to basically lay on the floor in in misery. 

She has tried an assortment of proscribed drugs for this and none of them did any good.  The only drug that has done any good...you guessed it...marijuana.  The effect is nearly miraculous.  It does not completely cure the headache, but provides instant relief to the point that she can function and deal with a much more manageable (normal) headache.

I challenge anyone to witness a loved one go through that much pain, get the cure with marijuana, and then still say that they should be criminal for it.

I love my wife.  I think it's bullshit that what she has to do for this extreme pain is considered illegal.

Sorry to hear about your wife. That has got to suck.

Me? I really do not see what's the big deal about pot. I have heard of the gateway drug argument before and I think it is BS.  Those that are inclined to let drugs rule/ruin their life will do it whether pot is legal or not. Example one is booze.

I smoked it back in the day, everybody did around here, and the only thing it ever really did for me was give me the munchies.  Made music more interesting to listen to.  Made my lungs ache.  Gave it up in my mid twenties.  I'm the type of person that errs on the side of freedom. If someone wants to do it, fine. Don't take my money when said someone turns out to be a loser.

Just my  2 cents.

I live in PA but work in NJ. PA is a gun friendly state, NJ is one of, if not the worse state for gun owners. The police in NJ are always pulling over cars from PA in hopes of finding a gun. A handgun on the person in NJ will find you in jail, there is not carry permit in NJ. 

Of course the DUmmies would consider that a great use of the taxpayers money; arresting and ruining the lives of gun owning Pennsylvanians who stray over the state line. But when your a DUmmy and not a taxpayer, all is well with your soul.

I recall reading a study where they tested the composition of marijuana smoke and found pretty much the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke.  THC can be extracted or synthesized much like they do with nicotine and might be a better option for those who seem to be helped by it.

Yes correct. The charges were dropped several days after her story was featured in the various NRA publications, cover story in Americas First Freedom. The NJ affiliate of the NRA, The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs took up her case. Her legal council is Evan Nappen who is probably the best, he literally wrorte the book on living in NJ as a gun owner.

Well stated! It was sold to the people of CA as a wonder drug for genuine medical conditions, but cooperative doper-abetting doctors have made it what it was intended to be, a back-door legalization (after, IIRC, two unsuccessful attempts at an outright legalization). I can re-read that sentence as many times as RvDU wishes - or he can - but there's no denial in that sentence that marijuana - or THC - may have some medical value for some people. Whether it is the best treatment available is another question, and depends on the treated condition and the individual patient.

I'll concede the point that no one here explicitly stated that there is absolutely no benefit to medical marijuana.  Some of the statements do seem to imply that. 

I fully understand that there is abuse of medical marijuana laws and understand the frustration of people who witness said abuse.  However the abuse does not seem like a particularly good reason to deny access to people who legitimately need it.

That would depend on who you ask.  There again, I've witnessed its potential first-hand with my wife when no other drugs did much of anything. 

Also, have you heard about the strain for seizures called Charlotte's Web?  I imagine the parents of Charlotte Figi would tell you it's an absolute wonder drug that may have saved her life.  At the very least it made a dramatic improvement in her health and quality of life since she was having 300 grand mal seizures a week, and now only has about four a month with controlled, regular use of that strain.  Their family story is heartwarming and worth looking up if you haven't heard it.

Actually a lot of people are saying my wife is a criminal.  The law in my state says it.  Anyone who doesn't support medical marijuana legalization is saying my wife is and should be a criminal.  It's true that no one in this thread has said it.

I'm right there with you an everyone else on mocking DUmbasses!

I know very little about Marinol so thanks for the suggestion.  The real quick reading I just did on it indicate that it's targeted for cancer patients.  I do not know near enough about it at this point to have an opinion, but I'd be surprised if it did the same thing for the headaches.  It appears to be of the same origin but of course not the same thing.

It may be semantics, it may be polemics, but the definition of "wonder drug" or "miracle drug" is probably different also depending on who you ask.
Before you could gain agreement, you would have to agree on terms.

They were only going five over the limit but they were driving a "suspicious" looking vehicle. They were just moving someone's belongings and had a rental van filled with stuff, including black garbage bags. Cop thought he was going to make a big score. After a half an hour of questions he eventually wrote a warning ticket for five over the limit.
 

OMG! The guy was speeding. That's agains the law. Got pulled over for no reason. Other than speeding. Of course they said it was only 5 miles over the limit. No DUmbie is going to tell you the truth.

I hear the pigs in Nebraska are especially obnoxious. They openly target Colorado plates, detain them for hours, make arrests if a bit of marijuana the size of a grain of pepper is found, and generally behave like authoritarian pricks.

Be careful...


You are the reason we act like Police Officers. Less than an ounce is a citation. Don't let teh facts bother your story though.

I fully understand that there is abuse of medical marijuana laws and understand the frustration of people who witness said abuse.  However the abuse does not seem like a particularly good reason to deny access to people who legitimately need it.

Then I believe your beef is with those who ruin it for everyone else.

That would depend on who you ask. 

Yeah, I know.

There again, I've witnessed its potential first-hand with my wife when no other drugs did much of anything. 

Also, have you heard about the strain for seizures called Charlotte's Web?  I imagine the parents of Charlotte Figi would tell you it's an absolute wonder drug that may have saved her life.  At the very least it made a dramatic improvement in her health and quality of life since she was having 300 grand mal seizures a week, and now only has about four a month with controlled, regular use of that strain.  Their family story is heartwarming and worth looking up if you haven't heard it.

Short term gain for a whole host of debilitating long term effects.  What you trade now, you'll pay 4 times in the future.

Anyone who doesn't support medical marijuana legalization is saying my wife is and should be a criminal. 

That's quite a broad brush.

I know very little about Marinol so thanks for the suggestion.  The real quick reading I just did on it indicate that it's targeted for cancer patients.  I do not know near enough about it at this point to have an opinion, but I'd be surprised if it did the same thing for the headaches.  It appears to be of the same origin but of course not the same thing.

I'd suggest you read more, and talk to your doctor, before she makes a lifelong habit of setting a plant on fire and inhaling all of the carcinogens that come with it.

A buddy of mine is a probation officer. He ran into a couple of his former clients that clearly smelled like weed. His ex-clients told him "it's legal, we have medical cards now" and he replied "but you still can't get a job."  The PO went on to tell them that "your sacrifice is going to be living in your mom's basement the rest of your life."  :-)

I work with a guy who is eligible for early retirement, but is planning on waiting a couple of more years. However, he said if he tests positive on a piss test, then he's done.

He also plans on making a few trips to Colorado each year after retirement unless he can qualify for medical marijuana in Illinois.
