Greenman

You have been on these boards for a year and a half now, and even been nominated for moderatorship twice. Which is pretty intersting in and of itself for a cop on a marijuana discussion board.

There are a couple of questions that I have been rolling around in my mind for a while now, and figure I will never really know unless I just out and ask them, so here it goes.

1> What was your opinion of marijuana users before you started on these boards.

2> How has that opinion changed since you have been on the boards.

3> Why have you been around for so long, and keep coming back with all the ... closed minded people that have posted in the past?

4> Have you ever been more leinent to a marijuana user you have detained based on anything you have read on the boards? Or thought about the boards while making an arrest?

5> What is your personal payoff from your tenure here? Why do you keep coming back, you have to be getting something, even if it is just a sense of satisfaction or good will, out of this. Either that or you really are just a glutton for punishment.

You also mentioned in another post that there were several other law enforcement officers that you knew that visited or frequented these boards. What is their opinion of marijuana users, and how has it changed if at all.

I think it will be interesting for people to see the effects their efforts and these discussion boards can have on LEO's in general. It would be foolish to think that they do not come here, and equally foolish to believe that some even frequent these boards, even if the only lurk.

So we should acknowledge that we have something to do with the image of marijuana users to the police officers of the country. Since you are the only outspoken police officer on these boards who has been here long enough to take a good look at, and perhaps for people to see what their time behind the keyboard is doing for them.

Peace.
