Judge steps down, refuses to enforce new, tougher marijuana law

"I cannot in good conscience sit on the bench while being unwilling to enforce the municipal ordinances," Frieling said. "Specifically, since you have seen fit to increase the penalty for Cannabis possession from a $100 fine to a $1,000 fine and a year in jail, I find that I am morally and ethically unable to sit as a judge for the city."This is a great testament to the fact that the awareness of this ridiculous prohibition is finally being called for what it is... another disastrous failure of our entirely too controlling legal system. It is a plant for God's sake, and one He intended for man to use just like any other herb in our gardens. Please read this post and it's comments and then do more research if you are still on the fence with this subject. Really, you owe it to yourself to be truthfully informed about the lies that have been circulating for decades about this healing herb.
