DEFIANCE OF LAW IS INTOLERABLE

What a joke, and the joke is on us -- the law abiding citizens of the
community. To think that we, as a society, would tolerate such an open
defiance of the law is intolerable.

The whole abuse of the Prop. 215 issue, "medical" marijuana cards, and
now this 420 "holiday" has got to stop. They are using the Prop. 215
fiasco to grow pot so they can sell it at a nice profit (tax-free)
while you and I work our collective tails off to support them.

It is time to start getting serious. Maybe the federal government
should withhold all federal funding to states that do not actively
enforce the federal marijuana statutes.

That would get some attention, and maybe these lazy jokers would get a
job and be productive members of society instead of riding on the
backs of hard-working and law-abiding citizens whose taxes they suck
dry in the form of SSI checks and other public assistance.
