Public Opinion Supports Pot-Smoking Parents: Surprised? [INFOGRAPHIC]

check up on some of the horror stories about child protection services in many states and counties. The Mondale Act, often described as the fascist manifesto for America has some very draconian, unfair and even unlawful inclusions.
I have heard through sources (not personally verified) that children taken by a local agency generate 20 thousand dollars a year for the agency in 'upkeep' that is provided by the Federal government. Did you notice that the girl was held almost one year to the day?
I had a non profit for homeless rescue that actually put homeless families in mobile homes in a mobile home park in Northern Ca.
One of my client families, the deputy came in (at the invitation of a three year old) and proceeded to grill the mother who was in the same room with the child, was not stoned or drunk etc. and was trying to watch tv.
The deputy determined (in his sworn deposition) that according to his 'experience and training' the woman was under the influence of heroin (she was slow and somewhat reticent in answering his questions).
Now get this - he did search the house, found NO drugs and NO needles, hypos etc. - yet proceeded to have the 3 yo boy taken in by CPS and charged/arrested her for 'child endangerment' and child neglect.
The woman submitted to a drug test that night, and weekly for the next eight months with never once any indication of heroin or anything else.
Yet every time there was a hearing the CPS 'ladies' cried on the judges shoulder about their fears of the child being returned to a house where heroin was used.
NOW IT GETS GOOD.
I helped the family draft a letter to the District Attorneys offices. In that letter the father notified the DA that according to his best information and understanding of the law, perjury is a felony - and since the CPS people have been continually testifying as to their fears of the child being returned to his home SOLELY on the grounds of heroin abuse - he would, the next time the heroin card was played, stand in court and ask the judge (as an officer of the court) to demand the CPS people produce at least ONE shred of heroin evidence and failing that, put the CPS people under felony arrest for perjury in a court of law.
In CA. perjury is ALWAYS A FELONY (unless you have a badge or government job).
I was at the next hearing as a 'character witness' - and was never called. I just sat out in the hallway with DA Vroman (Mendocino County) peeking at me from around the corner... and when court let out I asked what happened. "Pops" was smiling and said that the CPS people had dropped all complaints.
I asked what about the heroin card - Pops laughed till tears ran out - "Joe, they WANTED to but they were SCARED!"
So Bobby came home right?

NO.

Despite CPS dropping all complaints, there was the matter of the 'parenting education' the parents had to complete (MONDALE ACT) - or no child return!
Cps no longer had any case or legal pretext to keep the child, except that they already had him and intended to keep him (for as long as possible),
I don't think it will come as any surprise that it took the rest of the YEAR for Pop's and company to complete all the 'requirements' for Bobby to be returned home.
Note - if anyone thinks that CPS actions do not harm kids, it should be of interest to know that for about two years AFTER Bobby was home, he would scream and hide every time he saw a minvan of the type that was used by CPS.
Apparently too many politicos and bureaucrats now believe that 'checks and balances' mean BLANK CHECKS AND NO BALANCES.
Bobby was returned home almost a year and a day after he was 'seized'.
The officer was proved a liar, guilty of the felony crime of perjury - and was never held to account. The CPS people also were proven guilty of felony conduct, again with no repercussions or even demerits issued.
I do attest as to the general accuracy of this statement under penalty of perjury (whatever the hell THAT means) - (a published statement intended to be believed as true) and as I don't have a badge or government coverup to shield me it might actually mean something.

That's what you got? A picture? Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here goes...

Percentage of users who are losers:

Alcohol: 30-40%
Cocaine, Crack, Meth, etc: 100%
Pot: 100%

Those illegal drug deaths referred to in your little graphic- how many users of those started with pot- and since pot is so "harmless", they figured they could do more, harder drugs? The reality is this: coke, crack, heroine, LSD, etc, are used mostly by people who started out with pot. Some do start with pills, then go to pot, but pot always happens before the hard stuff, and you'll have a hard time finding a crackhead who chose to go straight to the hard stuff.

If pot was a stand-alone item, it would be a different story- but it starts the ball rolling. It is the first instigator to the harder stuff.

So what if smoking pot doesn't make you murder people. You'll be a non-murdering loser instead of a murdering loser.

My argument, in case you have not gotten it, is that pot heads are losers, NOT that pot-heads are serial killers.

But, potheads move on to harder drugs which can cause people to kill accidentally or on purpose. In that event, I do have to say that every person who died as a result of hard street drugs taken by someone who started with smoking pot, died due to pot, because they would have been less likely to do those drugs that lead to the incident.

AND another thing, your graphic is misleading. It would only be valid if every person was equally exposed to and likely used all or most of these items.

Caffeine and aspirin are OTC, and DON'T lead to worse drug habits as a rule. Too much of anything can kill you.

Tobacco and Alcohol are controlled, but also much, much more widely used, so yes, many people will die from it. You can also get staggering numbers of people who have chocked on food, and died in house fires. Legal drugs fall into the same category, noting that they are more harmful, and more addictive, which is why they are more controlled.

As for illegal drugs, they are the only group that is completely illegal, so it really does not belong in a side-by-side comparison to the others- unless you want to expand the list to everything in the world that can kill people.

Also, as the "drugs" entries are groups, and surely, one will eventually take that stat and break it down to argue for the decriminalization of the "least deadly" of those after you clowns get pot legalized. Especially if more people die from booze. Just stop it.

BTW, does you little chart reflect tainted pot, like when it's laced with PCP? I know a guy who got some like that, and he went nutso violent. You clowns like to ignore that little part of the seedy underbelly of the pot world.
