Doug, what you don't understand is by breaking the law, it does affect other lives. If someone is high everyday, how can they hold down a job to support their own choice of habit. That's any easy answer, its called theft or robbery. I have never arrested anyone for stealing from themselves or robbing their ownself. And for the record, everyone that I have ever arrested did affect other people or at least had the propensity to affect other innocent lives. Before I ever put the cuffs on anyone, I first put my feet in their shoes. I would rather let 10 crooks go due to a lack of evidence or a weak probable cause then to arrest one innocent person. So, when I put the clamps on someone, they more than deserved it. It certainly sounds to me like you would like to see no laws, courts or jails. That I find to be amazing. Our minds are as different as day and night. 3 hours ago

Doug: My eye is on knowing the difference between what's right and what's wrong. For anyone to alter their minds with any substance legal or illegal is wrong. If God intended for people to be drunk, He would have created mankind to be drunk and certainly not send them to hell over it. My belief is based exclusively in the bible. God said it's wrong and as for me, I am not going to argue with or debate God. That's one event you will miserably loose. I don't understand how you and so many other people can defend drugs of any kind. Y'all obviously don't fully understand the full ramifications and horrible consequences that drugs and alcohol has caused throughout history. It has destroyed people and families. If you have seen and witnessed what I have witnessed in my lifetime concerning this issue, it would literally break your heart and without doubt, change your mind. 4 hours ago
