Sox, the CHP in mendo is a pet peeve of mine. Got pulled over on the 101 in garberville one night by two fine butch gentlewomen who thought it would be fun to mess with the 6'5" male. . . I had a butterfly knife on me and a half gram of weed. One of them held my arms behind my back while the other one took the knife and held it in my face about an inch away, threatening me and telling me all the things they could do to me for possession of an illegal knife. Yeah, real professional. All it took was letting my public defender know that they should take a look at the dashcam video, and all charges were dropped.
Sea - you're right and those people tend to forget that if it were not for cannabis, highway 101 would be a two lane gravel road and eureka wouldn't have much more than an ACE hardware and a grocery store. They benefit greatly from what goes on and yet want to demonize it. Pretty pathetic IMO.
