My Daily Toke

It seems as though another casualty of an evil and unjust drug war has been taken. Joseph “Jojo” Simmons Jr., 19, plead guilty to a single charge of disorderly conduct stemming from a marijuana related arrest in May. According to police, Simmons was caught being stupid by officers rolling a marijuana joint on May 8 while sitting inside his BMW on New York’s Upper West Side. Police said he attempted to flee in the car, nearly backing into an NYPD cruiser in the process, which led to charges of resisting arrest as well as drug possession, reckless endangerment and criminal use of drug paraphernalia, which were all subsequently dropped. Jojo has been sentenced to one day of community service through is plea deal with prosecutors.

This is pretty shitty news because I am fully against the current marijuana laws that our country has, not only because they are based on racism, but because they are nearly useless. The fact that Jojo could have found a better spot to roll a joint than the always busy upper west side is a given and he should have known that. I’m all for responsible consumption by adults but his actions weren’t too responsible, so if you really must break the law, which i don’t advocate, do it in the least risky way possible and Jojo, get a darker tint on your beemer please because if I have to see your skeleton like uncle Russell lecturing you frequently, I might become ill.
