A burgeoning movement to reform Florida's drug laws has caught the attention of the state's drug czar and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is leading the charge to rally police, prosecutors and politicians against a 2002 ballot initiative. The proposal to mandate drug treatment as an alternative to imprisonment for certain nonviolent offenders is nothing more than a precursor to drug legalization, warned FDLE Commissioner James T. Moore in a recent letter to Keith Chandler of Melbourne, head of the Florida Police Chiefs Association. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

| "There is not a habit in the state to put someone in the prison system because he has a quiet toke behind his apartment door. It just doesn't happen," said McDonough. Well if that is true, then why not just put it on paper. Legalize it! [ Post Comment ] |

| Let's say we start a referendum that asks: Should citizens who, absent any other criminal offense, continue to be arrested and prosecuted for personally consuming marijuana, even though it is PROVEN safer than tobacco, alcohol and most over the counter drugs? Then, simply organize a Vote NO on the anti-pot Proposition! What if Marlboros smelled like pot? Would FL State Trooper Dance get all red faced and search some old white guy's Mercedes Benz and dig through his golf clubs looking for drugs?? What if we all carried bird seed in our cars? Does that mean we can be arrested for possession, occifer? Next time my car gets pulled over, it WILL have hidden video... Jose Melendez [ Post Comment ] |

Isn't it true that if your out on porole or probation and fail a piss test for smoking some cannabis a week earlier that your failed piss test gets you into a cage? That makes that upper quoted statement questionable. I think that the over zealousness of this type of people in other examples has actually helped our cause by making it easy to identify the bad seeds. In most all other similar cases the same bad seeds have been present in it's fight to continue to cage humans for using cannabis, the plant given by our father. Did our father give us this plant for all its implications including the way it enables us to see who walks with God and who shuns Gods glory? Cannabis is truth. Cannabis is part of Gods glory. Did God create cannabis to use as a tool in deciding who to cage? [ Post Comment ] |

| This idiot talks like "legalization" would be a bad thing. It would derail their gravy train indeed. That would put our prioriries in order & that would do this society more good than the anti's want you to know. [ Post Comment ] |

| Mandatory treatment won't end the War on Drugs. But it will derail the gravy train for a lot of law enforcement. Only now am I beginning to appreciate the full brilliance This is a victory in progress! [ Post Comment ] |

| He admits to failure, these people are really stupid. [McDonough, a retired Army colonel, said that Florida, if not winning the war on drugs, is at least dishing out its share of blows.] Blows = people suffering = war on people = army colonel talking out his a$#. [ Post Comment ] |
