Legal Pot in Boston? Oh noes!
November 14th, 2008 by Perry
Jim Carnell, an Area A-1 representative of the Boston Police Patrolman’s Association, recently published an editorial on decriminalization.
While we may disagree severely on the lasting effect of Massachusetts voters’ recent move to decriminalize weed, Carnell brings up a lot of heavily opinionated points about how and why police officers will no longer be able to crackdown on marijuana. He also uses terms like “beer swilling idiots,” “cretins smoking doobies” and “starry-eyed nitwits” to illustrate his subjects.
While Jim’s article misses the point – which is ‘negative’ situation he describes is exactly what Boston voters want – he makes an interesting observation that drinkers will now be more persecuted than smokers.
While that may seem unfair to some, this is exactly how non-drinking marijuana smokers have felt for the last 30 years… now pass me a Heineken.
