Dave Woods: Pot stories keep comments section smokin' — Newman “The ex-cop makes a pretty good case, but it does not change anything! We don’t want some hopped-up nut driving the same street our kids and grandkids play on! Better move to Amsterdam!” — js “The petition is to cut down on the severity of the charge for possession of marijuana. It’s not looking at legalizing it. However, marijuana is legal in Holland and you know what — crime is very low. The potheads aren’t out robbing everybody! We cannot control what other people do — we can only control our reaction to it.” — p-sha ‘I signed this petition...’ “And the rationalizations continue! Dopers will rationalize anything in an attempt to maintain their state of stupor. To do otherwise would be to admit their flaws and be required to live in a world of reality, where they could see those flaws as they are, not through the mist of a mind under the influence of drugs.” — Ralph “Ralph, I believe you completely miss the point of why marijuana smokers want to decriminalize the drug. We do not want it decriminalized so we can get away with being stoned all the time. We want it to be decriminalized so we won’t be labeled as criminals.” — Zachary “Wow! When you hit the nail on the head, it makes a lot of noise, doesn’t it? — Ralph “I signed this petition ... at least, I think I did ... I was pretty high at the time.” — hy Dave Woods is new media editor for The Joplin Globe.
