Petty busts like this one only result in an increase in real crime. Believe it or not, marijuana is good for a city. It enables good people who otherwise have no chance at making an honest living to pay their bills, feed their kids, and ultimately contribute to society. Who cares if the dollars are non taxed, thats more money in our town! More money in our town means more money is spent, more job opportunites become available, and the economy will be on steroids. More people will thrive, less kids will go to bed hungry, social services will have slightly less demand.
All the BCSD did was kill a good market for Brunswick county. Crime rates (REAL crime) will rise, more people will get robbed, less money will be spent, the economy will weaken. Think about it. We are paying our tax dollars to kill our society in ways like this! I do not condone the sale of hard drugs like crack cocaine or prescription meds, but damn its just a bush in a bag that helps everyone out, from the hard working street grunt to the owners of major corporations. In 5 years there will be NOTHING the federal gov can do to stop the legalization of this amazing plant. There goes my 2 cents.
And for the record, I smoke and my grammar is better than anyone's on this board. HATERZZZZ!!
