This is your war on drugs.

Mr. Micheal Phelp's picture on the net a couple days ago, allegedly smoking from a bong and prompting an "apology" yesterday, is now causing him some more trouble.

This is because a backwards South Carolina sheriff who is "tough on drugs" (read: Backwards and probably Republican) has decided to see how far he can push this.

That's DESPITE the picture being published in another country.

The allegation is the picture as taken in South Carolina, somewhere in HIS county, so the reefer mad sheriff there is on the case.

Spending tax payer money to bring this criminal to justice.

Reefer madness lives in South Carolina, for sure:



A spokesman for Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, who is known for his tough stance on drugs, said Tuesday the department was investigating. "Our narcotics division is reviewing the information that we have, and they're investigating what charges, if any, will be filed," said Lt. Chris Cowan, a spokesman for agency.

This is exactly how marijuana stays illegal in America.

This is how stupid things about marijuana never go away - the unholy interaction of dumb cops and dumb journalists leave us with a dumb situation.

First - note how the cops switch "narcotics" for "marijuana" . The sheriff never even says the word in the article - it's all "narcotics".

Pot is not a narcotic. This is stupid.

The police have adopted this "narcotic" classification to fit with their propaganda bullshit of equating pot smoking with heroin addiction. Liars and deceivers working for your tax dollar, lying through their their teeth - here we get to dissect a little bit of it.



The Richland County sheriff can pursue charges as long as the party was in the county, the spokesman said. "The bottom line is, if he broke the law, and he did it in Richland County, he's going to be charged," Cowan said. "And there's no difference between Michael Phelps and several other people that we arrest for the same type of a charge everyday."

This is how cops manage to spend their time arresting 850000 people a year.

This is how cops arrest more people for POT than for all violent (real) crimes combined.

Note he adds "we arrest several people a day" for marijuana possession. He is so PROUD of his actions. This is just mean spirited, aside from being ultra-dumb. Obviously this sheriff has nothing else pressing in his county. It's the vendetta of the reefer mad. What a friggin' idiot.

Phelps has not hurt anybody - he's not even hurt himself. People who suggest as much simply don't know what they are talking about. They don't read about this, they don't do their own thinking or research. They just regurgitate the shit that people like Sheriff Dimwit here spews to the news.

I want to see them waste MORE tax-payer money - since it is a bottomless goddamned pit - trying to probe what is in a picture that cannot actually be seen. Because marijuana is alleged to be involved and police ideologies, no expense will be spared because Phelps damages the propaganda stream: He's a successful person who smokes pot and therefore has to be destroyed. People are NOT to be wildly successful and smoke pot.

A lot of people say "marijuana is not important". They clearly don't do any research and their ideas are hilariously devoid of easily verifiable knowledge.

Clearly, it's one of the most important things in the world to cops.

This is YOUR war on drugs.
