Cops deserve weed, too

People who have never used weed are so hypocritical. 

They might not be wife or child beaters, or hateful, angry people, if they did. Their blood pressure would probably be lower. The more society incorporates weed into their lives, it is maybe going to help much more than imagined. 

Have you thought of the lives of cops? Their daily duties? Walk a mile in their shoes, and go and tell your daughter/son that their child died in a car accident. 

Where do you think all those cops’ minds go after pulling burning people out of their vehicles? Or, like a student friend of mine told me, her boyfriend was decapitated in a late-night vehicle rollover. Imagine seeing that.

How about being the cops on scene several years ago in Kamloops when a semi came down Columbia Street, brakes failing, driving over so many vehicles, one of which had toddlers from a daycare inside – the cops finding only socks that could identify the body?  

After talking to therapists, the cops still go home to their children and their wives, and the nightmares never end.

Cops do deserve their weed, too.
