  • I am confused, was this just a marijuana bust or were there narcotics involved as well?

  • Whether you believe it or not Marijuana is an illegal narcotic.

  • By the definition of the word perhaps it is, a narcotic is ANY drug that is illegal. But come on, to behave that a few pounds of weed is comparable to a bust of even minute amounts of heroin, cocaine, L.S.D., opium, methamphetamine etc., is almost embarrassing. I understand it is illegal, but it will likely be legalized soon enough. I suggest more training and effort be placed on taking the heavier more damaging drugs off the streets, then law enforcement will have a real reason to pat themselves on the back.

  • When it is legalized it will not longer be considered a narcotic. Funny how such a fine line can define a substance. Want to discuss this further how about telling me who you really are!
