SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two teens face drug charges Monday night after they were pulled over on MacCorkle Avenue in South Charleston.

Troopers say they arrested Jacob Lawrentz after he was allegedly smoking marijuana while driving.

A pound of the drug and nearly $1,000 cash were found.

Lawrentz's passenger Eric Spaulding was also arrested. They were both charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver.

weed is not evil deady or dangerous most of the people who protest it so much sure dont think anything about popping open a beer or a bottle of booze whitch causes liver damage brain damage and stupidity pot on the other hand help with eating disorders insomnia emphasema just to name a few Everybody wants to talk about drugs what do you think alchohal is its not grape soda.If the drug companies and the government werent afraid of losing money it woul be legal already.i have been a smoker for 30 years and im in better physical shape than most people half my age i havent done any drinking for about 15 yrs and i really think the money wasted trying to stop the weed dealers could be put to better use for education or housing for all the alchaholics on disability that my taxes are supporting

Well then Mr. or Ms. Anonymous if the dealers go to something worse they should be arrested. Was I not clear in my last posting? As far as pot leading to SSI or whatever, I used to work at the DHHR and I never saw or heard of a client seeking financial help because they were a pothead. Alcoholics, yes. Hard drug addicts, yes. Potheads, give me a break. Also, I have a reality check Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, the harder drugs are there already. Legalizing pot will free up the law enforcement agencies to deal with the harder drug dealers. Of course all this goes under the "For What It's Worth" category since you are obviously so opposed to my suggestion that you have to invent reasons that make your opinion seem absolutely right, and mine (and others like mine) absolutely wrong.

Ok.. say we legalize this. How is that curing a problem? Dealers would just go to extremes, and go to something on the illegal list, mary J wont be as popular. The more laws that are borken the better with a lot of these people.Plus all the paperwork, taxes etc that goes along with the legalizing this stuff, these dealers and users wont have anything to do with it after that. Theyll move on to harsher drugs, and that will be brought into our neighborhoods, worse then it is now. ANYHOO. smoking weed makes u hungry, which leads to obesity. Thats all we need. More on SSI disability, welfare, etc. SURE.... go ahead n legalize it. itll add more problems, and worse crimes.
