Bottom line to me with the murder metaphor is that murder like possession with a quantity for distribution is against the law. unless one or the other is made legal, doing it is against the law.

Now you can debate about whether drugs should be against the law or not, but that doesn't come into play at all in this debate.

I don't care whether he's a nice guy or not, people don't have 5 pounds of grass or distribution level quantities of any drug in their car unless they're carrying it for or are dealers.

to me people who make money on the drug trade are scum, whether they're selling it to kids (and I've seen that), or selling it to addicts they need to be removed from society.

Did I exaggerate my example, sure, but going on the strictness of breaking the law, to me it makes sense.

Hey, I'd be all for legalizing grass as long as it was treated like Alcohol, there were severe penalties for selling it to kids under 18, and there was a no sell list if you've ever applied for rehab or treatment.

And yes, I did smoke in the past when I was young and stupid, and didn't like the feeling that it gave me, and when I was older I gave up drinking except for the very rare occasions because I liked it way to much.

If the friend had a joint in his car, or residue in his ashtray, then I would give him the benefit of the doubt, but based on what he was carrying, to me, if in court its proven that he was dealing or carrying for a dealer then he's not a good guy, and should go to prison.
