Quotes 

• Officer Bill Gannon : It's still a law. Possession of Marijuana is a felony. It is classified as a narcotic by the federal government. It changes the perception of time, space distance. It warps judgement

• Officer Bill Gannon : What about me ? I don't blow weed. I don't drop acid. You do ! And when you do , you lose judgement, you have hallucinations. Hallucinations that can and do prove dangerous. Not only to you, the user, to people around you. People who don't want warped and distorted sensibilities to interfere with their way of life, sometimes even to the point of taking their life. Now suppose you tell me, what gives you a privilege greater than gods ? You go ahead, you live your life the way you see fit, but don't you crowd me, I demand the self-same right. And so far, the thin line separating your kind from mine are the laws of this country. And that's why there is a stiff one for Marijuana and there should be.
