In a world got mad shouldn't the government have something better to do? I have an online head shop SunflowerPipes.com. I sell my products like glass pipes and glass bubblers to regular citizens above the age of 18. I like what I do and I want to be left free to make an honest living. I have been this business for a few years in that time I have had many occasions were I was harassed by various law enforcement agencies. In a country with huge populations of inmates, homeless and poverty stricken people perhaps it is about time we learn to respect each others personal choices.

This mayor needs his ass beaten by all the store owners, then his house ran sacked by them , his car totaled , and make sure he has a life long remembrance every time he looks in the mirror, knock out his front teeth.

we need to all come together and the nation needs to start rioting on one set date and start destroying the pharmacies and any other stores that sell the governments drugs and show that we want equal rights, if tylenol has more potential lethality than marijuana then we need to take it off the streets and prove that we mean business and were not gonna lay on the ground and let them walk all over us just because they have shiny little badges we got guns too…lets start using our rights like the government uses theirs

Next, they should shut down all the “Square Grouper” restaurants in S. Fla, since it’s a marijuana reference. When a fisherman found a package of marijuana floating in the ocean, it was known locally as finding a “square grouper.” Whether our politicians like it or not, pot is a part of our culture that will never go away.

I see this as something that should not be tolerated by anyone. I’m sure Federal agents will do things like this even beyond Head shops. If people show that they won’t take this, this could even affect the bogus Homeland Security agents who detain people with no warrants or legal papers. I say we challenge them to follow at least some of the laws passed in this country. Allowing them to charge into any place they deem suspicious or illegal (usually on nothing but a phone call) robs us of freedoms we deserve for doing nothing but living our life lawfully, aside from the toking ;D

Hello Jimmy D,

Thanks for your post!

>If these were gunshops, the NRA would be all over this!!!
>In my oppinion, we (NORML) could learn a lot from the NRA.

Point well taken, however, unlike gun ownership and the necessary commerce therein, which are clearly protected under the Constitution’s Second Amendment, accessing drug paraphernalia enjoys no such legal protections.

However, in my view, recent head shop raids in southern California, around San Diego, might test the constitutionality of municipalities’ so-called anti-paraphernalia ordinances because under the state’s pro-medical cannabis laws (Prop. 215 and SB 420), medical patients who have the right to use cannabis presumably have the right to purchase the medical delivery devices (so-called paraphernalia) necessary to deliver the medicine for self-titration.

Thanks again,

-Allen
