Chris - hate to be off-topic here, but did you know Jesse Sammis, who was in the Greenwich Time today as the buyer in a drug transaction, right on Maher Avenue!, who was arrested?

Thanks, reader.

"What happens if McCain wins? Well that's just why the police around the country are preparing for riots. Faced with the destruction of their country and their own impoverishment through new taxes imposed on them by the new majority of citizens who won't pay any, the productive class is going to rise up and loot Betteridge's. Daman them, they do this every time things don't go their way.

I don't know Mr. Sammis but I have complete sympathy for any addict, if that's what he is. I've always wondered at the stupidity of our society criminalizing what shouldn't be a crime. When lawyering I'd watch defendants whose sole crime was violating probation by using drugs sent off at taxpayer expense ($40,000 a pop, I'd guess) to prison for a year or two. I think there are better ways to spend taxpayers' money.

He (or was it his dad?) was at New England Land.

In a way I have pity for addicts, but when you're buying drugs across the street from a school, and are pushing 40, mostly I think you should have the self-awareness to take that money and put it towards your rehab.

Marijuana - yes, I agree with you, should be de-criminalized. The harder stuff really destroys people and families.

I understand when you're in your 20s and having fun with weed. I don't understand when you're 40 and getting high when you presumably have a family. I feel so bad for the kids.

Alcohol destroys more families and lives than any other drug, yet it's legal. Why? Because banning it didn't work. Banning drugs hasn't worked either, despite billions of dollars spent combating them. Pah!
We keep cigarettes around because states are addicted to the tax revenue they generate. So legalize what are now illicit drugs, tax the hell out of them and have a ball spending the money. Sure beats raising taxes.
