(Yes this goes to my blog, but I figured I'd post it here as I'd really love to get some discussion going on it.)

If you look at the auction, you'll get a lot of good information.

I have two questions.

1. Would you do this to your kid? Personally, I would, but I wouldn't nearly be as nice. Apparently the father was more upset that he was doing something illegal on his property, than the fact that he was smoking pot.

Personally, I'm all for the legalization of Marijuana. While it is more harmful to the lungs than cigarettes, It certainly isn't as bad as cocaine.

2. Who on earth would spend $9,100 on Guitar Hero III for the Wii? I have the game, it's not that epic.
Remember the "l" in the last URL tag

I wouldn't dream of selling something that belongs to my son, without his approval.

That said, of course it would have consequences, but not like this.

It would be better for everybody. Legalizing marijuana would mean that the government took over the production/import, selling and taxation, which would mean bringing criminal activity away from this particular drug, leaving people to use it without being criminalized or being introduced to harder drugs (at least not to the extend they are now)

Need i say i like a nice joint every once in a while
