So here’s something fun and weird. Montel Williams was cited by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office for possession of a marijuana pipe at the airport in Milwaukee. But is it strange that he had the pipe, that he was flying, or that he was in Milwaukee?
The ever-helpful TSA allegedly nabbed the erstwhile talk show host as he went through security with what they described as a metal pipe commonly used to smoke marijuana. And if anyone should know, it would be them, being total delinquents themselves.
If it was me, I’d have thought it was a bike pump or a medical device, as Montel described it. Well, he called it a joint replacement, so take that however you like.
Montel apparently tried to bring the micro-bong in his carry on luggage, but it was caught by the ever-diligent pretards at security screening.
Cops admit there was no detectible residue on the pipe, but sources close to Mr. Williams insist that it’s only because he uses his slim, lizard tongue, to lick out every last microgram of THC.
Police were indifferent to the fact that Mr. Williams uses medical marijuana to treat his Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and stated that, “If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck; the black guy is a criminal.”
Despite repeatedly being noticed as black, the police showed remarkable restraint in their decision not to taze him, hold him on the ground and kick him viciously in the head, despite promising to do so if he failed to stop being black.
It’s been reported that Williams was released after paying a $484 citation (in cash or paternity testing vouchers) for possession of drug paraphernalia, even though the drug in question was most likely prescribed to him legally by his doctor.
Many of us have now finally wised up to the fact that the best avenue towards realistically dealing with drug use and addiction is through proper regulation, which is what we already do with alcohol & tobacco –two of our most dangerous mood altering substances. But for those of you whose ignorant minds traverse a fantasy plane of existence, you will no doubt remain sorely upset with any type of solution that does not seem to lead to the absurd and unattainable utopia of a drug free society.
There is an irrefutable connection between drug prohibition and the crime, corruption, disease and death it causes. If you are not capable of understanding this connection, then maybe you’re using something far stronger than the rest of us. Anybody ‘halfway bright’ and who’s not psychologically challenged, should be capable of understanding, that it is not simply the demand for drugs that creates the mayhem; it is our refusal to let legal businesses meet that demand.
No amount of money, police powers, weaponry, wishful thinking or pseudo-science will make our streets safer; only an end to prohibition can do that. How much longer are you willing to foolishly risk your own survival by continuing to ignore the obvious, historically confirmed solution?
