My best friend just buried his son today from an overdose. 16 years old. Started hanging with the wrong crowd, took a pill he thought was a percocet. It wasn't. Hug your kids.
That's pretty ridiculous. Crime is crime, right? Speeding and pedophilia are the same and should be considered as such. A pure, crime free life is the only worthy existence!
It's illegal now here, legalization won't increase the black market. Street weed is the only avenue of choice. Most people want to go above board with their purchase, which is why thousands of people drive to other states to purchase legally. Over-regulation leads to black market sales, yes, but...
^^^^ This guy HOA's ^^^^^^
HOA's can suck my butt. Tried to buy several acres (6ish?) about 18 miles north of town. The guy selling lived down the road sub-divided the land and made an "HOA". Tried to dictate where an outbuilding could be, had to be the same color as the house, no livestock...
That comes back pretty quickly when you sell a quarter acre lot for $100k. Tough for a family farm to turn down 3.5m, even tougher for inheritants not to give up inheritance.

Why is there a thread wondering why everyone left? The moral of my story was that it really isn't hard to figure out why lots of people get tired of this site and take extended breaks.
I'm not a well known or liked INGOer, but it's not hard to figure out why > 50 people post regularly on this site. Any dissenting opinion is shouted down, with crass hubris and arrogance. I leave for 6 months at a time until the next big issue arises. We are all on the same team but you would...
I slept with a gun on the pillow beside me for several years when I was single. No criminal behavior, just lived in an area that I didn't feel safe in and response time would be faster. If the first guy through my door was SWAT at the wrong address then I don't know what to tell you. Double oops...
hom·i·cide
/ˈhäməˌsīde
noun
NORTH AMERICAN
the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another; murder.
"he was charged with homicide"
