I refuse to believe this is anything more than more "War on Drugs" horseshit. Sorry world you burned Gen-X and earlier already on your ridiculous lies about Marijuana (among other things), we're not buying it again.
And it would be far more efficient to just arrest people who seem likely to commit crimes before anyone gets hurt, but that's not how our justice system works, and that's not what the constitution allows, so go fuck yourself Arrian Myrick-Stockdell. Maybe don't be so quick to lick the boot and smash it against the neck of your countrymen.
I just wanted to say that out loud again so maybe somehow he'll vanity search himself one time and receive my personal message that Arrian Myrick-Stockdell can go fuck himself.
Yeah, as if big deal international crime syndicate couldn't figure out how to hide electricity bills. Either way there's probably an easier way to find these dudes than to sacrifice our privacy.
Do large criminal syndicates even bother with home grow operations anymore? I thought most of them were busy growing weed in the deep remote areas of national parks or some shit.
Assholes like Arrian Myrick-Stockdell are 100x more dangerous than your average maga. They will couch ridiculously fascist authoritarian proposals in nice language and present it in a boardroom, all in the name of "efficiency" - god damn that sounds a lot like a particular solution I read about once, but I don't want to Godwin the discussion.
Shit like this truly makes my blood boil.
