I believe, in this great state of Massachusetts, that marijuana laws should be lightened for small times offenders. It is not the policy of the government to put people like this Fire Chief into a dangerous spot. They obviously miss the point, if a Fire Chief has been smoking pot all this time would there have been only an EXTREMELY small amount?
I urge voters in Massachusetts to vote yes on question #2 this November in regards to the decriminalization of marijuana.

Furthermore, I believe that marijuana does not evoke gateway tendencies, nor does alcohol. They are one in the same.

I just recently got bagged for OUI in Massachusetts (bad idea), but was also convicted of my second marijuana possession offense. If it wasn't for my illicit drunk driving I would be Scott free. NOW, I am on probation for a year and have to take drug tests. I feel that alcohol has caused many more problems for people such as myself than marijuana has ever cause anyone that I know.

I am a law abiding citizen, I pay my taxes, I drive the speed limit, I smoke marijuana...

Marijuana is not the enemy....

Wow, typical but still unbelievable! I wonder if the fire chief has gained a new perspective on the War on Some Drugs/Citizens? I don't condone being impaired in any way at work, and especially not when your team is dependent on you in a dangerous situation like fighting fires. Still, the article asks the most important question, "can the man lead his team to succesfully put out fires?" I'll bet he can, or he wouldn't be the fire chief!

It would have been interesting to see whether his wife would have been arrested and charged when she ventured into the wolf's lair to turn in a gram of the "evil weed." I'll bet with her social standing, it's unlikely. Lucky she's a WASP! I just hope that the more these farcical things happen to ordinary citizens (cannabis smokers included), the quicker they'll adopt a new perspective whereby they'll realize that ANYONE can become the victim of the police while commiting the otherwise victimless crime of drug use.

Welcome to the National Socialist States of America...

If he wasn't the fire chief, this would have just been another arrest to add to the tally. The "it's not mine" excuse wouldn't have made a bit of difference. Same goes for the mayor whose dogs were shot recently.

So much for equal protection.

It is odd that the fire chief wasn't arrested and thrown in jail, long, before the grandson had a chance to take the wrap.

The grandfather was spared the bullshit. What happened to the grandson? Was his life destroyed instead? And who is the complete asshole who snitched when finding an extremely small amout of pot in the first place? Anybody who turns me in had better hope I don't know who he is.

id like to cornhole every anti pot person out there .except they would like it.wtf

"subject" said it all. what kind of fool could be such a nazi as to turn your own grandson into the cops for a tiny bit of pot?

This is the ugly power of dis information. gramma only wanted to do the right thing. adolph hitler never broke the law once.

the law of man is not what protects you. the truth is what protects you.

we can all be bent or fooled into being monsters to each other. go read on the Zimbardo Effect and fill your shoes!

WE NEED TO GET THE SCIENCE OUT THERE ON POT TO BE ADDIQUATELY STUDIED BY THE PUBLIC. It is patently bad for us to allow ourselves the luxury of letting gramma stay stuck on stupid. what does she do next to the kid?

Oh wow. They just have no clue. The more public these stories the better!

Yeah, this fire chief might have been forced into retirement, but if he were an ordinary civilian, at least in Arizona, he, his grandson and quite probably his wife would be facing jail time. Oh, and his car would be impounded, too.

I see that it is not good for someone working in the police or in the fire department to be found with illigal drugs in his or her car.

Still this story is blowned out of its porportions.

It might be funny if it weren’t for the fact that these spontaneous, incompetent assessments are used at trial to influence how long non-violent offenders will spend behind bars."

I had never thought of this. I had always thought that people are considered dealers if they're caught with a certain amount of marijuana because mostly, all the marijuana i've seen in my life is buds. But if someone is caught with plants instead of buds they really could be considered dealers for no reason if the law makes no difference between buds and the rest of the plant matter. Also, I had never thought (and I can't believe I've never thought of this), if someone is caught with a couple onces of regular, cheap weed, they would be prosecuted exactly in thewholesale lingerie same way as someone caught with the same amount of a really potent, expensive weed, which would obviously be good for many times the amount of doses. The way these laws are written and enforced is even more nonsensical and more unfair than I had even realized
