No one knows more than me of the carnage in that neighborhood. Half of the things that go on there, don't even make the news. You have no idea. Keep living in your fantasy land. On that note, I'm out of here. I couldn't expect anyone that lives there to actually see the type of people that live and hang out there. The statistics don't lie. Believe what you want.

You just can't tell them much.

Am I the only one who wants to start a collection to move this guy to Jersey?

Granted theres very few pioneers smoking crack, but it appears the so called "victimless" weed business is booming!

You would know better than us, but are people really dying over weed?

I know your duty is to uphold the law and not question it...

But honestly... would you rather have a bunch of working hipsters smoking weed... or a bunch of unemployed crackheads?

I would much rather deal with working hipsters smoking pot, than unemployed crackheads, however the danger in weed usage lies in the illegal drug trade, not the endless amount of dorito consumption depleting our cornfields.

Yes, but ultimately you can't completely do away with the illegal drug trade unless you legalize them... again that's prob outside the scope of what you want to discuss here, but if we both agree that pot smokers create little to no danger, as opposed to the crackhead who will steal your DVD player or rob you on the street. So you have to look at the kinds of drugs being moved, not just the complete sum.
