Someone calling himself Ogre has a small article about the recent vote in Denver to legalize marijuana. Since the vote doesn’t change the laws of Colorado—just of the city of Denver—police will continue to arrest people under the Colorado controlled substance laws.
The last paragraph sums up the absurdity of laws against drug possession pretty well:
Why? Why should it be illegal to simply hold a plant in your hand? How does that affect anyone else in Colorado, or anyone else in the U.S.?
By the way, be sure to check out the funky design of Ogre’s main page. Scroll down to see how the articles link together.
Update: Jim Leitzel at Vice Squad wakes up briefly to tell us that in Singapore they’re going to hang a guy for having a few hundred grams of heroin. So I guess drug users in Denver should be thankful for some things.
Thanks for the kind words!
And if you look real close, that transition from one article to the next is actually a completely random pattern :)
