Oregon cops consider marijuana laws ‘too convoluted to comprehend’

A recent study that draws heavily on Deschutes County found an “overwhelming consensus” among law enforcement officers that Oregon’s marijuana laws are poorly written and confusing. 

As a result, this perception has even led some local officers to stop enforcing marijuana laws altogether, according to the February report by Portland State University researchers Kris Henning and Greg Stewart. 

“The laws are too convoluted to comprehend,” one officer wrote in a survey response. “If we as law enforcement can’t easily decipher the laws, how can we expect the citizens to be able to understand them?”

Reminds me of the time 10 or 12 years ago that I downloaded all of California's gun laws to read. I wasn't into it 5 minutes before I was thoroughly confused, had a headache, and was ready to kick a dog.

  1. All that testing to weed out the intelligent applicants has finally paid off, pigs so dumb they literally can only do what they are told.

  2. "was ready to kick a dog." Don't kick a dog, kick a politician. Dogs are lovable and loyal, these traits are missing in politicians. That's why no one gets emotionally attached to a politician.

  3. Somehow that headline would make more sense if it said:

  4. Can't they just get the legal guild that rules over us to write 10 more laws to fix every convoluted one? Democrat Utopia is always just a few laws away.

  5. Best HR person I ever knew could ALWAYS find a rule, regulation, statute, or law that was contradicted by at least 2 others. She would cite the relevant parts to the chain of command or regulatory agency and ask "Which one are we suppose to follow." One case had two federal agencies grid locked over the issue for ... um ... 2 years (maybe more). Meanwhile we grunts on the floor did our jobs without interference.

  6. As a side, How long until users fry out their lungs or contract some form of lung rot up to even cancer. Who are they going to go after to pay their medical bills like the Pettifoggers did to the tobacco industry.
