Yep, because it's illegal I have been unable/unwilling to get them    (6 votes, 22%)   Vote
Nope, legality only makes it harder and more expensive (but I had my ways)    (17 votes, 63%)   Vote
Whoa dude, are you that Chong guy from the 70's?    (0 votes, 0%)   Vote
Other?    (4 votes, 15%)   Vote

What about that sacred "RULE OF LAW" we are always reading about on DU concerning that famous abuser of the RULE OF LAW KKKarl Rove? 

I think DU has made it quite clear that any abuse of the RULE OF LAW should be met with strong punishment.  I wonder how they reconcile breaking the RULE OF LAW for their own selfish dangerous pleasure.

The difference is that Drugs are a "Victimless Crime"  and Karl Rove is a "Crimeless Victim"
