Looking for stories of times you interacted with a criminal organization in any capacity. Were/are there any infamous locals frequently talked about in your area (please don’t dox yourself). Please give a genuine answer not a political stance. The only one I think I’ve had was a story I’ve told here before about having met an Aryan brotherhood guy when I was 12ish.

    Every single thing you listed is a direct consequence of cannabis prohibition.

    It only has victims because it is illegal. Which was literally my point.

    Who is going this deep and up voting the pro-cannabis prohibition comments? Weird. If I didn’t know better, I’d think someone was using alts.

      Yes, that’s literally my point too. Because the law decided to make it a crime there are victims. If it was not criminalised then none of my scenarios would exist. Without the “crime” there would be no victims - which is what you correctly stated.

      I haven’t seen any pro-prohibition comments and really don’t care about votes or whatever. Internet strangers ain’t no thing to me; respectfully.

      I’ve smoked weed for 35+ years - I am as anti-criminalisation as you could ever meet.
