It absolutely matters. Perhaps people here should read habitual offender laws before jumping to conclusions. To billed as a habitual offender and serve life, it takes a lot more than simple possession, or even a few non-violent felonies.
I'm aware of the habitual offender laws. My point still stands.

The establishment makes way too much money on drug arrests and fines.
Drug laws aren't going anywhere, folks.

Can it be used to search a house? I have always been under the impression it could not be used to search either one.
I don't see why not. It's probable cause of a crime (in states where it's not decriminalized). It's used to search cars all the time.

Reagan and Nixon were horrible people who ignored all research.

Keeping it illegal is big business. Think of all the police, lawyers, judges, prison staff, etc whose salaries depend largely on keeping it illegal. Keeping it illegal is just another way to fleece the taxpayers.

I watched American Gangster last night, and your post reminded me of this quote by Detective Richie Roberts at the end of the movie:
quote:
They don't want this to stop. It employs too many people. Cops, lawyers, judges, probation officers, prison guards... The day dope stops coming into this country, a hundred thousand people lose their jobs.

Some one has to fill all of those huge prisons.
It's a huge racket, the jail system.
They need Tyrone,Juan, and BillyBob to fill their cells.
I've seen armed felons, get out from prison quicker than guys who had an ounce, dime bag on them of weed, with no guns.
If no pot laws, then the jails would be half full, and then these jail owners wont be lining their pockets with our tax dollars. That cant happen, gotta keep oiling the squeaky wheel

But yeah, you are right - everyone who has a felony on their record and catches another charge is a piece of shite and you should have no sympathy for them when they get multiple billed.
why should anyone feel sympathy for a felon?
how many habitual offenders have probably plead felonies down to misdemeanors? you act like our justice system rules with an iron fist on criminals when in reality there are many more cases of killers, violent felons, etc running free instead of being behind bars.

Live in central Texas. A gram of lettuce is a misdemeanor not a felony.

If they're locked away for life for doing something with no victims I sure feel the system is fricked up.

Modern day slavery. Plain and simple. Watch the folks that go broke when prison reform actually kicks in.

I understand what you are saying, but the police have a vested interest in anti-drug legislation because it provides them with money. As long as they get money to 'fight drugs', they'll be anti-drug.
:thatsnothowanyofthisworks:
Before posting stupid shite like this, you should see where the seizure funds actually goes. Simple research of your local DA's office will show you that the judicial system gets a majority of the funding that circulates around drug related seizures

It's so fricked up that they've created the "monster" with the illegality of it.
This is something I could grow like any other crop a person who depends on the land for their bounty would.
But I can't take that risk because of it's illegality.I take risk obtaining it and possessing it because of it's illegality.
I don't smoke cigarettes.I don't drink much at all.I like a beer every now and again.
I'm a 55 year old Man with a steel knee.If I want to smoke a plant older than this Nation.A plant that God gave us."Use every seed bearing herb".Word of the Lord.Then I will use it.
The only thing wrong with Marijuana is the Law regarding it.

I seriously doubt there are people locked up for life with no victims from their crimes. As I said earlier most habitual criminals have had 30 strikes not 3. I would like to see one case where someone was hit with habitual offender and only committed 3 drug related felonies.

se Texas also has a habitual offender law, allowing prosecutors to seek longer-than-normal sentences for people who have two prior felonies.
Jail is the best place for them. Who cares how or why; these are not good people.
