Shouldn't we all be getting raided by now?

It always amazes me when people publicly admit to using weed. No matter how common or what you think or your social circle thinks- you can go to jail for that shit.

That football asshole comes to mind. How fucking stupid can one get?

We may associate with and promote a very basic instinct, but it is not illegal.

Certain drugs may be illegal, but I see no justification for making so-called drug paraphernalia illegal. Plenty of tobacco aficionados prefer a water pipe to a cigarette. People with no interest in cocaine use razor blades. I used to get eyed at the "head shop" when I bought gram vials (used them to mix my own essential oil blends). Just because somebody could use a device for illegal purposes doesn't mean they will.

Furthermore, porn IS illegal in some states. My home state is one example. I never would have started in this business while living there. Store clerks were getting arrested because they sold Penthouse. I am not making this up.

In the US, business is regulated. If you fail to follow regulations, you may very likely find yourself being fined and/or arrested. This is nothing new. To suggest that following regulations is behaving like "Chicken Little" is absurd. Go open a sidewalk bar without a license and see how long you last.

If you don't like the laws, fight them, don't ignore them.

And for those not in the US, obviously what I'm discussing doesn't pertain to you.
