Colorado’s poster boy for ‘stoned driving’ was drunk off his gourd

I'm autistic, so I don't get irony.
But I think he was saying that he would defend himself. Only the suicidal Gandhi types would consider self-defense to be a perpetration of violence or aggression. I follow the traditional idea of "Ahimsa," which allows a person (or nation) to defend themselves with violence when there is no other way except to accept violence upon yourself. I think this is similar to the kind of non-violence Wes was talking about.

I see the ironic humor there brenna....it was unintentional though...I was simply pointing out that the days of me allowing anyone to inflict a physical punishment on me are long gone...I put up with that crap when I was a child and couldn't protect myself....if someone wants to attempt that on me they better be expecting to receive a much worse retribution...I've had several try to hit me with bats....they were made to regret that lapse in judgement....I will not strike first or strike when unprovoked, but I will also not allow myself to be struck ever again...
As to the topic...if they're gonna make a posterboy, they should at least use the correct offense

There is passion, yet there is peace
Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

Not to mention cannabis isn't an addictive substance, it's not like anyone can be convicted of cannabis addiction. :silly:
