Safe Luxury

Could someone please provide me with Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott's email address?

I am so tired of this double standard with society. A-Rod is sitting in his home with all of his sponsorships along with no legal recourse after coming out and saying that he used steroids. During that same week Michael Phelps was captured on camera smoking pot thus losing his sponsorship and now being investigated by Richland County Sheriff. First off that bong was bought and made legally in USA. The last 3 (including the current) Presidents have all admitted to using pot and dismissed it as a normal youthful experiment. Meanwhile the current generation of youths are still being prosecuted... How is that fair? Phelps had a DUI on his record prior to Kellogg taking on his sponsorship. To me and according to the law in California a DUI is a much worse offense and has resulted in countless lives being lost. I'm not saying that pot can't adversely effect your ability to drive. In this case Phelps was not getting into a car in the photo nor was he busted for being under the influence while driving. My point is he was inside the privacy of a home in a safe area where he was not causing harm to anyone, he was not imposing on my or anyone else's civil liberties, and he was not destroying anyone's property... So how was it illegal? This is a free country right? How's that war on drugs going? Anyone study the Prohibition? Remember when all the organized crime was getting out of control? Major funding of their activities came from underground clubs that served alcohol and from distribution of the illegal liquid. Guess what was pinpointed as the single act that literally crippled local organized crime? The legalization of alcohol.... Mexico is on the brink if slipping into total chaos. The country is run by drug lords. Here is one last tidbit that scares me... There are two groups that strictly oppose the legalization of Marijuana. The first is the drug lords that smuggle it into the country (legalization would stop them in their tracks) the second is the US government. The former Presidents of Brazil and Mexico both called for the legalization of pot this week as a means to bring stabilization and in order to remove the drug cartels major cash crop. So why is the US government so opposed? I ask you this and I am not going to answer it because we don't know. But doesn't it seem rather odd to all of you that it has been said that Mexican drug cartel has already infiltrated our country and are trying to destabilize our home as they did in Mexico? It basically comes down to who should get the money? The problem will never go away. Do we keep funding the cartels and drug lords or do we legalize it and tax it? For the record... I did do exactly that (google it) and have the same information. I could imagine that email box is quite full right now and was hoping to find a more personalized account. Thank you to the gentleman that provided the information. Also for the record I do not smoke pot.
