What is the relationship between rape (a real crime with a real victim) and possession of some prohibited substance (an act that is a crime only because government decided to prohibit it)?
Comparing possession of marijuana to rape is patently ridiculous. If anything, the better comparison would be between (1) rape and (2) the kidnapping and enslavement of peaceful people by the dim-witted thugs who enforce anti-marijuana laws, since all of those acts involve the use of aggressive violence against an undeserving victim.

Okay, time for me to eat some crow. I just saw this from NENick:
--- Quote ---I just re-read my post and now it doesn't make any sense to me... What I was getting at is - a nine year block on getting a permit because of pot sure seems extreme.

The law is the law...and until we get rid of the lawyers who make the laws (that seem to benefit many of them or their agendas in some form or fashion) we must obey or suffer.....

Nice... ::) I don't think that was necessary. He's voicing his opinion. Because it isn't in agreement with yours doesn't make him a dip****. In fact, I've found him to be a pretty helpful guy in the time I've been a member here. Maybe step back a minute and realize that not everyone is going to agree with you and that it'll be ok. He wasn't rude, he was straightforward. Don't get the two confused.
