Why am I being persecuted for smoking pot at Dollywood when there is no tangible evidence of it happening?

Who are you being "persecuted" by?  If it is the police, then they would require evidence of pot, paraphernelia, or something to charge you.  If it is just teachers or chaperones, then you have to speak to them calmly and sensibly (not yelling, screaming, denying).  Adults shut their ears when you yell/deny and just assume you are trying to get out of trouble.  Ask them what proof there is that you were smoking pot other than someone saying they smelled it in the area you were.  Make them think through their accusation.  The most important part is to try to speak to them like a mature adult, not like a kid.\n\nUnfortunately, if you've earned a reputation of being a troublemaker or liar, they are not likely to believe you didn't do it.

Your question is a little vague.  What state did this happen in?  Are you (or are any of the occupants) of the vehicle on probation or parole?  Did you give permission for your vehicle to be searched?  Do you know why it was searched?  Were alcohol or drugs in the vehicle (or was there any indication that alcohol or drugs were in the vehicle?) When you say it was seized, are you referring to the police actually taking it away from you, or are you just saying it was seized while they searched it?  You ask what to do...depends on what happened.  Were you cited?  Arrested?  Was contraband of some kind found?  The issue of probable cause to search anything can often hinge on very small details...I'll suggest that you're going to have a difficult time finding cases that will assist you in getting an education.  You can try searching through FindLaw.Com and see where that gets you.  If nothing came of the search (nobody was arrested or cited or anything), then perhaps you want to consider complaining about the officer's action to his department.  If something came of it, and you're going to court, then you need to speak with an attorney.  I may be able to help you sort some of this out if you'd like, but we'd probably need to do that in email.  Post an address if you'd like...

I don't know who exactly...but it;s not like pot is banned world wide. There are other countries that sell it, tax it or just don't care and those countries are probably the ones that started testing it's effects on there citizens.

Give me a break. Three strikes equals life!  Live with it!  You've been warned so don't ask for sympathy because it's "just a little pot". It's not like the third strike was for pot only.  He / She committed other crimes just didn't get caught.  We as Californians are safer without them on the street.  You know what they say... "If you can't do the time then don't do the crime.

I'm not sure that the batting order matters too terribly much. I just want to see them all prosecuted and punished. Each is as guilty as the other and none should be above the law. I just can't wait to get this started and finally have justice both done and seen to be done. It's been a log time coming.\n\nAnd a note to the moronic, right-wing "true believer" foaming at the mouth about pot-smoking and whatnot. Unlike you, I've never used drugs in my life. You would of course wish fervently that I was some pot-smoking, bead-wearing, Liberal hippie but I am none of those things. I am far better educated than you and, I might add, genetically superior in every way. You republican scum seem to think yourselves privileged and above all those with whom you disagree. But judging from your own illiterate rantings and the pitiful excuse for a human being that is your leader (Has he ever uttered even one coherent sentence?), I'd say my side holds the high ground in all departments. Enjoy the impeachment hearings. I know I shall! :)

I think that you're wrong and your information is incomplete. If you mean to say that medicinal marijuana laws have been passed in the states that you've mentioned, then say so. Could you not hold a thought together long enough to pound it out coherently on your keyboard?\n\nYour information sucks. Your spelling sucks. Your grammar sucks. If I were a marijuana advocate, I'd be ashamed to have you on my side.

Weed alone wouldn't do that.  Either he took something else that he didn't tell you about, or the joint that you had was laced with something.  Pot doesn't cause "flashbacks" because it doesn't cause hallucinations to begin with.

If  you have reason to continue to think there is Meth, Ice being cooked on your  property, then get the Law involved.  You don't want to go anywhere near that place until it is proved and cleaned up.   Don't worry about the polution.   Can't do anything about it , now.    The Meth, abusers, and makers kill ,if interupted.  So with Great  Warning,  Leave it up to the Law enforcement.   Don't even go there.     Stay away, until they tell you that you can go to your property.    You can also become a suspect, and be charged with being involved.        So stay the heck away.   Let the Law handle it.

I don't know, but that's a damn good question. Even if it wasn't legal, there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to speculate on it (as long as no one's directly saying, "Who can sell me marijuana?" or similar). After all, if I have to read questions like "Did god take a dump and call it a muslim" and "Should we hang gays like they do Afganistan or gas them like Hitler did?" and these questions get to stay... well, we should be able to discuss marijuana. After all, it fosters love, not hate.

Watch a documentary called "Grass."  It's narrated by Woody Harrelson, and it's the entire history of the United State's war on marijuana, from the 1800s to the present.  It's pretty incredible.  It shows that marijuana is basically harmless and that the government studies saying it's not were complete lies.  \nIn fact, the reason marijuana is not legal right now is beause one politician screwed it up for the rest of the country.  Jimmy Carter ALMOST legalized it when he was president.  He was about to do so, when one of his aids got caught with a breifcase full of cocaine.  Because of that aid, Carter could not afford to look soft on drugs, so he didn't legalize pot.  That one aid and his coke ruined it for the rest of the country.  If it weren't for him, you'd be able to toke up right now -- legally.

Well it was illegal what YOU did if you are referring to putting dope in the brownies. You could get charged with a class B misdemeanor, thats a legal issue. \nI think you are asking about the moral issue of your so-called payback. I think she had it coming but just so long as you realize you only stooped to her level. \n\nOut of curiosity, did she realize she was high?

Using it as an ingredient in an anointing oil is a little different from rolling it up and lighting it and then smoking it. I hardly think that should cause a huge outcry amonst Christians. It was put here by God and therefore had to have an obvious purpose. Native Americans used all parts of the plant for different things over the years as well. That doesn't mean I would consider them Stoners. In the context for which it was used, Simply agree and say yes that is true, however that does not mean it was ever meant to be used as a drug for getting high.

first off what are you doing that means you cant have weed trace in your hair? second it would still look unfavourable that you were condoning pot smoking. if you're trying to avoid the police, i believe 6 months is the standard time for trace to leave your body (I watch a lot of CSI)

As several others have already said federal law supercedes local laws. Whether or not it is enforced is an entirely seperate matter. As a citizen of Nevada however I can say that the marijuana measure will most likely NOT pass. It was tried four years ago and failed miserably and I'm sure it will do so again.

"Making Marijuana against the law is like saying God made a mistake"\n-Bill Hicks\n\n\nit's only illegal because the government doesn't have the control over it like they do on every other substance that is legal.\nAlcohol is much worse for you than marijuana, yet it's legal. you do the math.\nIt has nothing to do with the harm that marijuana may have, yet that is what all the propaganda is based on.  Otherwise, how would you have propaganda being at all useful if it was just simply "the government cant control it, so don't use it". No, they want to lie and preach that it's actually harmful to you. That's the only way they get it to stay illegal, too many people think it's actually harmful so there's not enough to overturn the rule.\n\nIt's also not a matter of IF it can harm you at all. You can get harmed by anything taken beyond moderation. The fact is it has less harm than something that is legal. Therefore being nothing short of total hypocrisy and lies by the government.\n\nP.S.\nI'm not a pothead or a hippy, etc.. I don't use it and I never have. I know enough people and have seen enough information that I don't need to be a pothead to have a strong view on the matter.

Mr Steve, we are ignorant about the ways of drugs compared to other countries.  It is illegal to even smoke pot here! But we are probably similar in the way that we are curious and at some time most of us experiment- the difference is where/how you can get product here...then, it might be something bad, don't know till its too late oftentimes, sometimes kids overdose and their friends just drop them off somewhere instead of the hospital out of fear, kids come up with new stupid things to try to get high on...and die for it and on and on\nthe war on drugs here doesn't seem to be working ;considering how much prison space non violent drug offenders are taking up and cemetery space innocent people occupy\nthe government doesn't rehabilitate prisoners so much as they warehouse them\nand most places of employment that are worth working at require you to pass a drug screen\nnow can you see where the problem lies?\n\np.s. most of the 70's druggies are dead, except the potheads...its rare to see old junkies...they don't live near as long

I could care more actually.\n\nIt's not the official pot smoking day\nIt is actually non-smoking day but someone decided it would be a good idea to make it a day to smoke weed. So now it is an unofficial holiday all over the world.\n\nNo offense to you, i usually keep to myself about it.
