I live next to the school and this raid was nowhere near here. It was right at the other end of the street next to the church.
Get your facts right Argus.

NOPE! alcoholics.....too many to count every hundred yards or so! The Law IS a Buttwipe!

The main reason alcohol and fags are legal but cannabis is not is because there's no money to be made by goverment or big business in the "dreaded weed". The sooner it's legalised the better, that will give the cops more time to concentrate on catching real criminals. PS, I'm a non smoker and don't use wacky backy.

Hell in my younger days i did smoke cannabis...it was good...didn't regret it at all, in fact very pleasant! thing is tho i have kids now and have to set a good(ish) example. but as nobody is perfect, people should have the choice, the government doesn't mind paying out benefits so the majority of people can buy their weekly supply of white lightening, but it has a problem with legalising a substance which is has been proven to benifit many! Go figure!
