Back to the intel question....

Many come only for intel purposes and, to be honest, some of the threads on here are pretty good for that.

Could I have a specific example?

I was honored to have members tell me they were coming to FL and asked about arranging a meeting.

And I wish that our meeting would have happened...But I appreciate the advice that you gave me concerning my honeymoon plans while in Fl. Too bad 9/11 happened while I was down there and things didn't work out.

Come on up to MN, I'll take you fishing for something other than bass & catfish.

Glad you are still with us!

Your friend,

I agree whole-heartedly with the support expressed for both Niteshift and Commonsense. [REALLY enjoy reading what Commonsense has to say on the front page, every time]

Sane and rational dialogue is so important in the 'war' against the 'war against drugs' - and Niteshift [LEO or not] and Commonsense add a lot of it. Thanks.

"I got into a discussion about the drug war with one of the officers and found what he had to say really interesting. I wonder if you share his views?"

I've read some of your writings. Some I agree with, some points I don't. However, one "rule" I've managed to keep since I came here, I don't really debate legalization.

While you question isn't really a "debate", but just asking my view, I feel it will start a debate. So I will have to respectfully decline to answer it directly.

I will repeat my stated position for you and others like you who may not have seen it before: I do not oppose the legalization of marijuana. However, I won't be carrying signs or marching to help you change it. In short, mine is a position of deliberate indifference. If you get it legalized, my day will really change very little. Likewise, if you never do, my life will stay about the same. One can only devote their time to so many issues in life and I have other issues I feel much more strongly about than this one that I devote my time and energy to.

In short, I won't stand in your way, but don't look for much help from me either.

"I wonder if you have any ideas for bridging the gap between law enforcement and those who are anti drug war so that this large segment of our population would want to work together with law enforcement in dealing with our nation's drug problem."

The simple answer is talking on a human level.

Now, this might not win me a lot of points, but if there needs to be a side that has to "give a little" in terms of appearing a bit more nice or accomodating, it's the legalization side. Before you light my butt up, hear me out........ If neither side listens, nothing will change. Since those in favor of banning mj already have it banned, if nothing changes, you have "lost". The status quo suits the banning side. We all know the old saying about catching more flies with honey........... and it is usually true. Please don't take these comments the wrong way. They're not intended to be rude or condescending in any way.


Rick:

"thanks for all the great work you do!"

You're quite welcome.

"What we have here is quite remarkable."

A little background for those who are newer...........it was also quite controversial. This forum was bashed by a few disgruntled members on other pro-legalization forums. They accused Rick of collaborating with the "enemy", giving up info to the police and even having me on his "payroll" (I'm still waiting for my check Rick).

But Rick, Panama, Greenman and Goodgirl collectively, and more diplomatically than I would have, told them all to shove it My applause to the admin crew.


Logos:

"Any objections to some front page exposure for this thread?"

I rarely look at the front page, but someone clued me into this being on there. I notice that the piece about rolling a joint is getting more views

Little did I know this was an "interview"


DoritosMan

"And niteshift we dont agree on lots of things"

Now there is an understatement But every once in a while, we suprise each other.


Daniel

"Could I have a specific example? "

If I were planning to do some undercover work, I'd probably lurk and see what terms are currently being used. For example, back when I did UC work, nobody had ever heard the term "spliff" because it hadn't been made up yet.

And, I know threads about hiding places get read.

"And I wish that our meeting would have happened"

I wasn't going to dime you out as one of them............ didn't want to ruin your rep


dedbr

"Glad you are still with us!

Your friend,
Dedbr"

For those of you who don't know it, dedbr was dead set against me being here. And he and I had some real knock down, drag out debates that had the mods ready to spray us both with a garden hose But I've come to respect him over the months and, although we don't always agree, I value his opinion.


KWhite

EMPTY YOUR MAILBOX!

I guess I'll say it here........... I consider Kelly a friend. Again, we don't agree all the time, but his input has been valuable and he is a terrific representative for the pro-legalization side.


Barbie:

"Sane and rational dialogue is so important in the 'war' against the 'war against drugs'

A very true statement............. and much shorter than I would have said it


Conine

You are another on the list of people whose opinions I've come to value.

niteshift: if you were to meet face-to-face someone that you have grown a bond and realtionship with, in the internet world on these boards, and at the said meeting this person had ohh lets say 2 grams of marijuana, clearly for personal use, would u arrest them?
and also props to you being here man, cops arent all that bad, i have personally and many of my friends (tho not all of them) have walked away from police officers in situations dealing with simply marijuana and having drugs or paraphanelia confiscated and no further action take. most of the time the people were very nice and courteous to the officers, and thanx for giving us marijuana users a chance, even tho it is your job to arrest us

"if you were to meet face-to-face someone that you have grown a bond and realtionship with, in the internet world on these boards, and at the said meeting this person had ohh lets say 2 grams of marijuana, clearly for personal use, would u arrest them?"

In my state, that's a misdemeanor, and most of us try to avoid making a misdemeanor arrest off-duty.

Of course, I'd like to think that most people would be courteous enough, particularly on a first meeting, to not put me in that position.

"i have personally and many of my friends (tho not all of them) have walked away from police officers in situations dealing with simply marijuana and having drugs or paraphanelia confiscated and no further action take."

And many have walked away from me without having anything worse happen than seeing their stash get dumped into the dirt.
