Outrage: Texas Women Cavity Searched by Police Over Alleged Marijuana Smell

In the video, reported by the UK Daily Mailand all over the national and international media, a trooper pulls over two women — a woman and her niece — for allegedly throwing a cigarette butt out of the car.

While talking to the women in the car over a littering charge, the trooper claims he smells marijuana.  He then searches the car and finds no marijuana.  He then administers a sobriety test, which the woman who was driving passed.  No marijuana, no impaired driving, and the observation of a police officer that they might have littered from a car that smells like pot.

So, naturally, he calls a female trooper to the scene to search the women for any contraband marijuana they might have been hiding under their breasts, in their colons, or up their vaginas. 

READ ENTIRE ARTICLE AND WATCH VIDEO

[NOTE* from Leftish: Two things really disgusted me about this story - the female officer inserted her gloved finger FIRST into the rectum, and THEN the vagina of the first woman…AND THEN SHE USED THE SAME GLOVES FOR THE SECOND SEARCH!!  WTF?]

Don't Sentence Montana Medical Cannabis Grower To 80 Years In Prison!
Chris Williams Montana Medical Marijuana Grower sentenced to 80 yearsChris Williams has been sentenced to a lifetime in prison for operating a medical marijuana business in Montana — one of the 18 states where medical cannabis is perfectly legal. How is this justice?

Many people with terminal illnesses rely on medical marijuana to ease their pain. In 18 states, including Montana, it is legal for growers to sell marijuana to those with prescriptions. So why did federal police recently arrest a provider in Montana — and sentence him to 80 years in prison?  

Chris Williams claims that he did nothing wrong. As a co-owner of Montana Cannabis, he worked with his community to ensure that his supply was going to the people who needed it for their health. Williams frequently gave property tours to law enforcement officials, politicians, and community leaders. Does that sound like someone engaged in illicit activity?

No matter your personal feelings on marijuana, it is deeply unjust that Williams was unable to use Montana’s statewide legalization of medical marijuana as a defense in his trial. Williams now faces 80 years in prison, away from his business and his teenaged son. This is far more severe than the punishments given to many convicted sex offenders.

Chris Williams should not have to suffer for the disconnect between federal and state law on this issue.

"A new biography came out that says that in high school Obama was a huge pothead … Mitt Romney had to respond to this and said, ‘It is appalling that Obama spent his teenage years goofing around and smoking pot when he should have been pinning down gay kids and cutting their hair."

I can’t think of ANYTHING that would redistribute wealth more than Legalizing Marijuana!

I mean, seriously, do you KNOW how many people would THRIVE with the legalization? People who are growers, people who own or work in cannabis clubs, people who own gardening companies, or auto showrooms, or gift shops, or (soon to be on every corner) cannabis cafés, and all kinds of industries that haven’t even been CONCEIVED OF yet!  I mean, it is already a booming industry here in California, where we only have Medical Marijuana!

Just picture it!  If Marijuana becomes fully legal (not just Medical) in COLORADO (which looks very likely), do you realize how many people will RELOCATE there?  The Tourism industry will probably triple, at LEAST!  People would travel from all over the world to check it out!  I mean, I know I WILL!!  Amsterdam in the USA, YES!!

And then think of all the lawyers, bail bondsmen, cops, judges, uniform companies, prison food and drug supply companies, prison gear companies, multi-million dollar contractors who build all these new prisons (they think they need)…not to mention all the big corporations that now use Prison Labor (at pennies per hour) for their Customer Service Call Centers!

Yup!  I see a definite redistribution of wealth possible here…and I gotta say — I’m LIKING it!

GO COLORADO!!

“I think you should always ask the question of if you can solve a problem with ‘more freedom’, instead of less.

I believe, because I’m a nut, that if you don’t have the right to put whatever you want in your body, you’re not living in a free society. I would like to see everything legal. I mean, I don’t like to do ‘pragmatic’, as opposed to ‘moral arguments’, but we are unable to keep drugs out of prison. That means that the level of draconian police state that happens in prisons right now, still won’t work to stop drugs.  So that means that all we’re doing is giving a huge amount of money to bad people.

…I would be in favor of at least trying legalizing all drugs, because I think freedom means the freedom to be stupid.  No one needs freedom to do the right thing.  No one needs freedom to do the smart thing.  We need freedom to screw up our lives, and do stupid things, and I think everybody deserves that right.”
