Of course, it is everyone's right to respond with their own views :o) This thread has turned into a farce (I guess that's normal around here) :o) Everyone should just chillax :o) (I don't think I've ever heard that word before)

>As far as the subject of the thread, I see the POVs of both John and Victor. My personal opinion is about the same as Victor's. I also understand where John is coming from. Pot is still technically illegal and as a long time law enforcement officer, even if he is in a back office role now, he sees it as his duty to uphold the law. They are both right, just coming from different viewpoints.

Yeah John and I have come to the same conclusion - we're never going to agree on it. Doesn't change that I'm right though! hahahahahahaha I'm just glad my job doesn't involve having to be on the front-line of the debate like his does even if it's a back-office role as you said. I would think that would be a horrible situation to be in right now when there are so many conflicting laws between the feds, states, counties and even cities on the subject.
