WAS OUNCE OF MARIJUANA WORTH RUINING A LIFE?

A home was raided for drugs recently. The homeowner fought with
police. Officers were injured. The homeowner was taken to jail,
according to a story in the May 23 Kalamazoo Gazette.

Many would think, "serves him right, he shouldn't have used
drugs."

But a search of the house turned up 1 ounce of marijuana and a
handgun. So now his kids are taken away and he is in jail facing
multiple felonies. His life is ruined.

Is this mayhem caused by drug use, or by Big Brother invading hearth
and home? All it takes is a tip to the police to destroy someone's
life.
