    stacking up more people in prison for something as paltry as pot is not the answer.

    Send Crenshaw to Holman to wait for the needle and put those other three to work for the Atmore Department of Public Works.

    I have noticed that Oak Hill Cemetery has been needing some attention, that fresh blood on the city labor force will help with that problem and in other areas too.

    join the military? Pay attention. When Navy ships run into huge football length commercial ships, one might suggest that the military has enough problems with the quality of recruits to be encouraging more dopes to join. They also may need to change their recruiting motto “It’s Not Just a Job, It’s An Adventure” A little less adventure for taxpayers please, and maybe not as many potheads would be the place to start. “hey man……that is a big ship over there…..oooooppppps.” “Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit.” Here is a suggestion. Quit recruiting dopes. It is ok to lead, but when following multi football length commercial ships with Cheech and Chong steering the ship, one might consider contacting the local recruiting station to avoid these folks in the future.

    Too bad a judge can’t sentence them to getting a job ,any job, where they can earn some self respect.

    It would be a better life to stay in school, get as job, join the military or something else. You have that choice people.
