What does it cost to house some pothead in a cell for a year? Figure out the cost and send him a bill. If he doesn't pay, fucking impound his car.
I don't understand why smoking is legal and pot is a crime? Drinking is legal, but meth isn't? Yeah, I know there's a huge difference there but a drug is a drug. One shouldn't be legal and drive our health insurance while pot is a crime.
I don't smoke pot, haven't since I was sixteen, but I just don't get why it's against the law....
