Something besides the poll tells me the finish line isn't going to be too popular this year.

805bailbonds, you make some good points, I was actually being sarcastic.
This looks like a young kid who got arrested, there are thousands waiting to line up behind him. This is an absolute waste of time.
They can't keep drugs out of prisons, and prisoners are locked in cages and have no rights. Think about that. Why anybody would then attempt the goal of ridding a so-called free society of 'illicit substances' and thinks that they can keep some vestige of that free society in tact is utterly mind boggling.

dou4now, I don't think you are promoting the pharmaceutical version of cannabis in any way, I believe you are pointing out the hypocrisy of our medical system, but I just wanted to point out how ridiculous that article and the study that accompanies it is.
"dronabinol -- a pill that contains the active ingredient of marijuana"
Please someone tell me, what is THE 'active ingredient' of cannabis? THC, which causes euphoria and can help provide pain relief for things like people who "hold their hands in a bath of ice water" (which is the type of pain that was being tested in the study) or is it the hundreds of CBDs (cannabinoids) which are naturally present in our own bodies and help to improve numerous regulatory functions including those related to inflammatory conditions like MS and countless others? Because some of cannabis' best medicinal properties actually lay within the CBDs, so I am wondering if this "pill" contains ANY?? Upon a short investigation I find that no, in fact it does not contain any CBDs. This is "marinol" which has been shown in countless other studies to be not nearly as effective as actual cannabis in treating just about anything. Holding your hand in cold water is not even a f#$^3 health condition.
The study tested smoked cannabis vs. pill. They concluded that while smoked cannabis gives relief more quickly (which they did not note can be invaluable for some patients), their pill lasted longer. Why not compare consumed, cooked cannabis vs. this pill?
I mean, this is completely insane, who is spending all this money for scientists to study something the scientists don't have any basic knowledge of?? And the site who published the article, MyHealthNewsDaily, why can't they get somebody to write an article about this who has SOME BASIC understanding of how this medicine works?? Sometimes I really do feel like I'm living in the Twightlight Zone. Then I realize that the reason this study was put out was because a small group of people with a lot of money and power paid a group of incompetent scientists to put out false information and purposely continue to keep a certain Fox News watching generation in the dark about a substance that could reduce medical costs in this country by billions of dollars. Why? Because they have a monopoly on selling healthcare.
Abolish the FDA is my solution.

dou4now has a good idea. Try a small garden plot with some veggies. Tell them after you've had some nice big delicious organic home grown salads then you'll look into getting chickens.
Normally I would say go for it, buy some tomorrow, just make sure you put the pen on the side of the house where the kids bedrooms are. But alas, it costs money to get a coop, chickens and feed cost money and so it a little bit of an investment. Maybe wait to see if they pass the garden test.

If I win the lottery I think I might open up a headshop in Buellton just so I can sue the crap out of them. Then I'll expand the headshop and make it the biggest headshop in the world.

Ya screw the whiners. This is something called life and others have the right to enjoy theirs, and that is going to include doing things which make noise. If those people aren't on your property while they are making noise there isn't much you can do about it, but you do have the right to get ear plugs or even some comfy ear muffs would probably help. Or turn on some classical music or something that YOU enjoy to drown out the background noise. Or simply adjust your attitude. Every time you hear a clickety-clack, think about all the kids that are having fun at the fair and how much fun you had at the fair when you were younger. Or relate it to something else you enjoyed when you were young. Now suddenly the same noises are bringing about positive emotions instead of negative ones.

Wow, this guy is really seasoned, you can tell he's been at it for a long time. This will clearly slow things down from here on out.

Everybody who still thinks they don't like dubstep should go to the excision link I posted above and skip to 21:00

Hah, Priceless, you seem to be the one who didn't read the article here. Ken is correct that they were not only under the legal decibal limit, but they did in fact turn it down three times EVEN THOUGH they were under the limit.
Now, dubstep is something else. It is essentially bass music. Bass being manipulated in ways that excentuates itself very sensually and/or violently. Unless you have an incredible audio setup and understanding neighbors, you're not going to get anything close to the full effect of being at an actual show. Recorded dubstep is merely a shadow of it's live self. They have really learned to do some amazing things with bass that you will never get to experience unless you attend shows of certain dubstep and edm artists.
I don't know enough about how decibal meters work and whether decibal limits are equal for rock shows vs. dubstep shows. The best, loudest dubstep show I ever went to, surprisingly I came out of it with little no ear ringing compared to past rock and metal concerts I've been to. That's because they will usually put the mids and highs and appropriate levels and just pump the bass way up, because, well, that's the whole point. So maybe a previous poster was correct and the decibal meter wasn't working, or maybe dubstep bass some how is able to allude the meter and travel 2 MILES across town and shake windows. I wish this wasn't an issue, but if the authorities are going to shut down shows early then maybe they need to be answered.

Why would he have fake grenades and whatnot? Why would he tell the police that he had real bombs in his car?
Confusing story is confusing.
I wonder if this kid was sent down by CIA MKUltra to be a part of a false flag during the AMGEN tour. Hopefully they will cancel that. Or maybe his purpose was to help condition the public and they still have the false flag planned and this internet post will stop it from happening because their plan is on record in a local paper and too many people will be watching for funny business.
Watch for funny business.
