69 Heavy Metal Fans Cited For Marijuana Possession At Wisconsin OZZFEST
- Aug. 16, 2007
|
|
Janesville, WI's Janesville Gazette reports that Walworth County deputies and the county drug enforcement unit issued 69 tickets for possession of marijuana at Sunday's (August 12) Ozzfest concert at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin. The drug unit ticketed 58 people and recovered 189 grams of the drug. The unit also ticketed five for possession of drug paraphernalia and one for disorderly conduct. One subject was arrested for having a felony warrant out of Texas, according to the sheriff's department. Patrol deputies ticketed 23 people for underage possession of alcohol, 11 for marijuana possession, three for disorderly conduct, four for possession of drug paraphernalia and two for speeding. Three were arrested on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct. Deputies also took one report of a fourth-degree sexual assault, one for hit-and-run and one for vandalism. Arrests were not made regarding those reports. The all-day concert drew about 19,000 people.

Marijuana is still illeagal?
Really?
Well, that is just wrong.
.....
In other thoughts: "The drug unit ticketed 58 people and recovered 189 grams of the drug."
Thery...recovered it?
What - did they put it out on the street to begin with?

Is pot still illegal ?
It is a battle that they are never going to win. Wake the fuck up goverments!!!
Instead of sending millions of innocents to jail, (wich by the way costs a shitload of money to citizens) why don't they just legalize it, in a controlled environement like booze. They would make billion in taxes, and save billions in prisonners care, it's a win/win situation.
Canada almost did it few years ago, as the Liberals were about to vote the law, they lost the elections to Conservatives, and as you know, with the Cons in, so long marijuana law...
Drugs are not bad, only some users (or dealers) can be bad.

People can grow it in their homes, so they won't be able to tax it.

Do you grow your own tomatoes?
Make your own bread?
You can!
If they sold joints legally (to adults, of course), people wouldn't take the time to grow it.
It makes far more money being illegal. And, it keeps law enforcement profitable!
Zoloft!

Aren't there any real criminals to catch in Wisconsin? It's way past the time to legalize pot. It's sickening to see this waste of resources.

...shee - it, in NJ last night there was plenty of "fragrance" in the air ....christ, I seen bongs for sale on a vendor's table!...what a difference an east coast gig makes, eh?
And I noticed: "one report of a fourth-degree sexual assault, ...Arrests were not made..."
So it's OK to cop a feel off some scantily clad chick, but toke up a fatty and get a fine???

Like I said.. I doubt it. Your dealer may have told you it was G-13, but I haven't heard of anyone having some G-13 in ages.
"I hope their careers are ruined and that they have to think about their crimes for the rest of their lives."
Are you fucking serious? And you have the audacity to call other people hicks, you fucking brainwashed, backwoods, raised truck-drivin', Republican-voting asshole? Do us all a favor and take that shotgun you've got propped up in the gun rack in your truck and blow your brains out across the back of the cab while your favorite Ted Nugent song plays on the stereo.
