Hemp v. MJ/Illegal Means Illegal

We've certainly gotten the input over the CBD press conference held by the Colbert/Lauderdale district attorney offices. Many of the comments are unpublishable. Imagine that. 

No one here is an attorney, but the arguments on hemp/THC/etc. are very convincing. We'll add that we've been asked to join in an online store selling the med, but had never followed through. It seems a good thing that we haven't as yet. 

There are two petitions out there that we've linked to our FB page. Sign if you're so inclined to ask these two offices to take a second look. We're sure there will be more at a later date.

We preceded our blog yesterday with the comment that it was not open for discussion. Yet we had those who defended the parents and the foster mother of the two dead Franklin County children. These people not only have bad judgment, they also can't read.

It's two in the morning and a light snow is falling. The driver is tried and wants to get home from a late shift. The light is red, but there is no traffic. Couldn't he ignore the traffic signal just once? Of course he could, and the police officer he didn't see will promptly pull him over. Are you surprised?

Yet some say it's okay to break the laws concerning ATVs on public highways. Really? How is this different? There's also the little matter of illegal passengers on the ATV. No, the foster mother knew she was breaking the law and she killed two children. She deserves to be charged with manslaughter.

Illegal is illegal. If you teach your children they can break one law, they think it's all right to break others.

There's a family in a small local town that is known to disregard the law. We've seen FB posts daring local law enforcement to arrest the children for riding ATVs on public streets. Now the older son, still in high school no less, is under indictment for armed robbery. You think his father's attitude toward the law just may have played a part in that?
