Someone with equip and certifications could make some money helping prove tests wrong.   Some of the customers have a lot of cash too

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

To be fair to Georgia, in NY all you have to do to get arrested on meth charges is buy some Jolly Ranchers.

Getting back to this.

It's odd that:
1) Cops get their narcotics training from TV shows.

2) Jolly Ranchers test positive for a "controlled substance"?
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Exactly; no victimless crime should ever carry a stiffer penalty than one would get from any unprovoked attack on another, (or the other's property) but punch someone in the nose or steal their stuff, and you're not likely to face as high of a penalty as if you'd been caught with a personal use quantity of almost any drug. (Assuming no permanent disfiguring injury, or large value theft.)

Because it makes government more powerful and gives a reason for it to grow more powerful.

What's the matter - did some cop take away your Spaghetti-O's when you were a teenager ?

We are long past the point of where voting is going to fix anything.

Probably because they haven't figured out a way to tax something you can grow in your own back yard, or under a bank of lights in your basement.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Actually, like so many laws, it was started because of moral panic over the evil black men getting with white women. Just like most gun control laws. NFA 34 is an obvious exception, that was purely to keep the revenuers busy after the repeal of Prohibition.

It was also started to keep the value of a paper baron's forestry holding up (the whole hemp issue), and stepped up to target hippies
