Burridge teaches criminal justice at New Hampshire Community Technical College, Claremont.

If he still has that job, I’m thinking probably he shouldn’t.
I don’t want him training future court officers, police, judges, prosecutors, etc, nor should such a deranged individual be entrusted with educating young people.

No, the Constitution was not written on hemp paper.

Yes, drafts of the Constitution were.

Well now this politician wasn’t very politically correct in the way he presented to the constituent and was certainly rude. The politician was wrong for behaving this way toward his constituent.

Issue 2: Decriminalizing Marijuana

Alcohol is legal, but drunk driving is illegal. Smoking marijuana should be just as legal as drinking alcohol, but I believe driving while intoxicated or under the influence will still cover driving after smoking marijuana, it is and should remain illegal, like other dangerous activities.

Issue 3: Politician contacting the police

I suppose anyone can report anything they wish to the police, and it is up to the police to determine if the report was legitimate or not. Filing a false report with the police is also ilegal. I suspect the politician was on the border of filing a false report in this case.

Issue 4: Other drugs

To decriminalize other drugs would have to be done on a case by case basis and would depend upon the overall dangers of that drug when slightly missused. I don’t remember ever reading about anyone overdosing on marijuan, but a small mistake with other drugs can be imediately deadly. So this has to be taken into acount as well. People can and do die from overdoses of alcohol as well.

That’s my 3.1412592658 cents

You folks in New Hampster really need to vet your democrats more carefully. Good luck!

Up until the invention of the Fourdrinier machine and digesters that could economically make paper from wood chips, paper in Europe and the European Americas was made by hand from plant-fiber rags. The rags were whatever was available, including cotton, linen, and, yes, hemp. Once clothing became too worn to be repaired, it was converted into dustrags and, when even they were not longer usable, they were bundled, sold to ragmen, and turned into paper.

Ordinary copies of documents were reproduced by printing presses and were printed on paper, not skins. Skins (generally sheep for large, coarse documents, calf for small, fine ones) were reserved for the “official” copy or copies of the document. Such copies were carefully written out by hand, often by professional scribes.

So, while most (not all) of the copies of various documents in the Library of Congress are originals and on skin, all the copies sent round to the cities, towns, and villages to be read out and posted for public use were printed by printing presses on rag paper that almost certainly had hemp used in its making.

“The person who filed the bill by the way was a freedom loving libertarian-republican.”

The Primary Sponsor of HB 92 is Rep Charles Weed, a DEMOCRAT from Keene. There are 2 Republican co-sponsors. There are also a number of Democrats who will support this bill…we’re not the threat that you, _NH, seem to think we are.
