The father robbing a bank to feed his starving family may indeed be a sympathetic figure, but he is causing harm to others in order to save his family. The father growing marijuana in his basement is harming no one. By the way, cops do make the laws and ensure that we don't change them. Every medical marijuana, decrim, and legalization bill and initiative I have reported on always comes with plenty of testimony against these marijuana law reforms from uniformed and armed members of law enforcement, paid by our taxpayer dollars to oppose that which a majority of Americans support.

Could the authors same logic be applied to bank robbery by a guy with a wife and a kid/kids who was struggling with debt and faced them living on the street or not being able to feed them? Could you justify his actions and would you blame the cops for arresting him? Cops don't make the laws, they're paid to arrest those who break them, it's that simple. Sorry but the law is the law, we need to change the law, not break it. I don’t smoke it and I’m an advocate of legalizing marijuana however I need to ask this question.

Crack and Meth are fucking tearing Dayton apart, and all the old factory jobs have left. The city is dying. Now they bust this poor guy. What a fucked up country in deed.

Telling kids they are gonna die from marijuana. I told the social worker when I was 7 and my parents split that I wanted to live with my mom b/c I was afraid my dad would die from smoking and I'd be left alone. The social worker made no effort to correct me. The next 7 years for me were hell b/c my mother and I just aren't two individuals that fair well tofether.
