2005: Record High Marijuana Arrests Topic: Drugs blog.wired.com/biotech/index.blog?entry_id=1559124Police in the United States made a record number of arrests in 2005 according to the FBI's annual Uniform Crime Report. The 786,545 people arrested for marijuana violations made up 42.6 percent of all drug arrests, and more arrests the total number for all violent crimes combined, including murder, manslaughter, and rape, robbery and assault. As you might expect, NORML executive director Allen St. Pierre has something to say about that: "These numbers belie the myth that police do not target and arrest minor marijuana offenders," said NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre, who noted that at current rates, a marijuana smoker is arrested every 40 seconds in America. "This effort is a tremendous waste of criminal justice resources that diverts law enforcement personnel away from focusing on serious and violent crime, including the war on terrorism." This begs the question: How many of these people were using marijuana for medical reasons? St. Pierre also says marijuana arrests have doubled since 1990, while heroin and cocaine arrests have declined sharply. St. Pierre concluded: "Enforcing marijuana prohibition costs taxpayers between $10 billion and $12 billion annually and has led to the arrest of nearly 18 million Americans. Nevertheless, some 94 million Americans acknowledge having used marijuana during their lives. It makes no sense to continue to treat nearly half of all Americans as criminals for their use of a substance that poses no greater - and arguably far fewer - health risks than alcohol or tobacco. A better and more sensible solution would be to tax and regulate cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol and tobacco."

I always heard that his herb was top shelf I just couldn't wait to find out for myself Don't knock it till you tried it, well I tried it my friend I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town He fired up a fat boy and he passed him around The last words I spoke before they tucked me in I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it began You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I hopped on his old bus, the Honeysuckle Rose The party was Vegas, it was after the show Alone in the front lounge, just me and him With one parting puff grime creeper set in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it began You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Now we're passing the guitar, telling good jokes I know ones a coming cause I'm smelling smoke No I do not partake, I just let it pass by With a smile on my face and a great contact high
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again My party's all over before it began You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
In the fetal position with drool on my chin I messed up and smoked weed with Willie again
AS sung by Toby Keith.
