Great idea! Take away
Great idea! Take away MARIJUANA. Although Marijuana is illegal, it's actually a natural medicine that grows from the earth and it can greatly reduce the consumption and dependance of other drugs such as Oxycontin. It's also less bad for you than cigarettes and WAY less harmful than alcohol. I guess we gotta make sure people stay addicted to the chemical stuff that is ruining lives for another 7 generations to come eh? Remove the competition of the rehab centres and keep the politicians fat.
As for the careless storage of a firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm, Luke and Jennifer should have had more common sense that to leave their hunting gear laying around and not have the necessary paperwork etc. It's so easy to get a firearms acquisition certificate and learn how to store your firearms.
Maybe pot isn't the most evil
Maybe pot isn't the most evil drug out there but until parents stop wasting money that could go to actual living necessities, then it really has no place on the Rez-unless chronic illness is involved. 26,000 from a community that is always in dire straights!! Isn't that the real crime?
Business men/wen like that live and survive because of other peoples sickness and dependency and that's a terribly sad thing
