Damn good of the kids in Stevens' Point!!! They are wise beyond their years. It makes sense to distinguish between potheads and kingpins. This same, sane sense might have helped the twenty somethings that were busted. The police are relentless in targeting people who more or less using drugs and selling them to support a habit. Luckily, these small time criminals will be turned into hardcore criminals after leaving prison, if they ever get out. Not only that but they will go on to lead not so productive young lives and be old and institutionalized by the time they get out . Guess who will support them then. The police will surely make straight arrows out of these crooked branches. Great job Stevens' Point P.D. Maybe You should arrest the kids who are protesting. I'm sure they are getting high off the air they are huffing as they scream for support from passers-by. "Legalize it and I will Advertise it.."

As a defendant as this "drug bust" in stevens point, i sat in jail with many other of these "dealers". One guy i talked to had 4 felonies riding agaisnt him because he sold a 20 bag, 2 addies and a vicodin. four felonies for less then 40 dollars worth of drugs. I am so glad these police can cath the "big time dealers" of little hick town U.S.A, aka, Stevens fucking Point.

Look at it like this the other night on cops i seen a cop was robbing banks when off work. A COP thats a bank robber by day police officer by night!!!!! Really did you see him getting away from them at first too he was really good at his police driving tactics. Anyway My point is now did you just see in the news this man A COP By day Pot Seller by night or who knows he may have even droped off your WEED VIA COP CAR how is that for service with no extra charge because after all gas is free as a cop so leave the car run too. OK I AM DONE YOU HEAR ME THEY DO STUPID SHIT TOO SO WHAT IS THE BIG F ING DEAL ABOUT POT SMOKERS!!!!!!! EVERYONE IN EVERY SKIN COLOR AND HAIR STYLE CAN BE THE SUSPECT EVEN THAT PUNK ASS COP WHO GAVE YOU A TICKET FOR SOME POT WHEN HE SOLD IT TO0 THE KID YOU GOT IT FROM.

Weed is not crack
unless your have like a **big bag** of it no one will kill you or shoot you **BIG BAG= YES You may be shot who knows he may even be a cop that shoots you.

as if the word perfect also had an ideal itself. what is the meaning of perfect? there is no perfect.

who says that these people in blue uniforms don'' drink and drive? or smoke weed?
i have a friend who smokes weed with a cop.
i even had a Lincoln county cop tell me himself that the difference is that they look out for eachothertha's why they dont' get caught drinking and driving.

doesnt' that sound more like a gang to you.?
whats' the difference. their blue rags are sponsored and paid for. tha's the difference.

so what wuld it be like with out the cops?? i dont know probably a little mor chaotic; the difference?
i don't know what i dont knwo is that we would still be run on gangs. so what's the point of democracy if it's so corrupt. doing that same shit we all could do. except i think that the difference would eb that if we the people were allowed to govern our own country, we probably would have a fucking revolution!

what sucks is the town of winthrop harbor il.this is a town with a police dept that has a goal of making its people criminals.the sad thing is in ten years after they make most of the school age kids criminals with records and destroy the rest of the kids parents income potential or empty there bank accounts fighting them in court for there own petty offenses they will be unable to get a decent job exept being a criminal.this is self destruction and non progressive thinking by any local gov.just look at the town of winthrop harbor in ten years and see the per capita income of this community dive thanks to the police dept and the village trustes thinking they are protecting their community by enforcing petty offenses to such a degree that they are in reality destroying the future of there community.if you are a smart person you will avoid the town of winthrop harbor because the police here are in my opinion are pushed to make as many trafic stops and arrest no matter how petty for income.this town is a hardcore police state so dont spend your money here or else you will be supporting this frame of mind.and if you hear of other towns like winthrop harbor tell others so that we all boycot these towns so that there is an economic impact.basicly what i am saying is avoid spending money in towns where there is the police state state of mind.stay safe friends

seems all over small town wisconsin the police are focused on the same tactic, turn every small time pothead into a criminal. the last couple months have had several raids in a town of 9000 mind you. they even did some nazi like tactics about a month back having 30 officers from surrounding counties and d.o.j. as well as 6 canine units swarm the town for 7 hours. after all was said and done they ended up with 5 arrests and only 3 ended up being small quantity drug offenses. wakeup america your country is turning into a police state. my take on this is I think several of these communities are feeling the pinch of spending like fools and now with the economy slowing they are increasing enforcement to make up for lost revenue. truly sad. as a us army vet it sickens me to see so many common people made into criminals. avoid antigo like the plague... if you don't , don't say you weren't warned.

The government chooses to make Marijuana as well as other drugs illegal, when Marijuna smokers need to buy it illegally making drug dealers money (meaning the government cannot put a tax on the money). So the governments solution is they should spend billions of dollars a year stoping drugs including Marijuana. Simply if it was legal there would be no major drug dealers meaning no one would need to buy Marijuana ending un-taxable money being made. Also no money being wasted on a already failing drug war which is hurting the government more than it is helping it.

everyone fights for drugs and shit they just use to get them selves to feel better why cant you do it the old fashioned way it works for just about everyone. yes i believe even marijuanna should stay illegal and infact chewing tobacco cigars and cigarrettes should be illegal everywhere regardless of dependancy its all useless and digs a hole in your pocket for no reason

All judges, district attorneys, and police are crooks and skillful con artists that look and sound more honest than honest people look and sound. You can not tell the difference unless you become one of their victims. The risk, due to legal loopholes allowing immunity for judges, district attorneys, and police to disobey the law and not produce justice, is like a rattlesnake sleeping under your bed that could bite you without notice."

This is peaceful revolutuion restoring ciizens control of government.
No one should be above the law.

We've had our share of raids for the same crap too. Plus we have mysterious college kids who suddenly fall into the Missippi River and drown. Nobody knows why. The colleges have been here for years the bars probably even longer but suddenly people are just falling in and nobody knows why. These kids arn't likely to suddenly want to go swimming alone...that's more of a thing you do with your buds when you're drunk...everybody knows that! So, my point is...La Crosse, A Great Place To Commit A Murder!

All the people who have left poorly structured, poorly spelled arguments with terrible grammar, obscenities, and rallying cries don't help the case. We need intelligible arguments, not a statement of how much every small town in Wisconsin sucks.

That being said, I wholeheartedly support the legalization of marijuana. Why? First and foremost, if marijuana is legal, it can be taxed. Our government is struggling with a tanking economy while introducing new reforms that will cost trillions of dollars. Where do we get the money? Well, stop spending so much on monitoring the drug trade, stop spending time and resources on catching petty dealers, and put a tax on marijuana. Putting up all these petty criminals in prison costs a fortune and makes no sense - these people pose no real threat to society. This would also reduce the overcrowding that we have in prisons.

Economic considerations aside, there really can't be an argument that marijuana is any more harmful than any legal drug.

Marijuana's effects: Munchies, decreased attention span, decreased memory, decreased learning ability, impaired decision making skills, some loss of coordination. Not addictive. I might be missing a few.

Alcohol's effects: Extremely impaired decision-making skills, damaged liver and kidney function, can cause diabetes, extreme loss of coordination, decreased memory, very addictive. Tens of thousands of deaths due to addiction or drunk driving each year.

Smoking's effects: Extremely addictive. Decreased lung function/lung cancer/emphysema. Heart disease. Decreased sense of smell and taste. And on and on. We all know the effects of cigarettes.

Anyways, just my bit. Smart people use marijuana and don't die or turn into crack addicts. Let's legalize it.
