Kingsport police need to get a life.

This poor guy has harmed no one and the fact that our revenue was used to perpetrate this farce upon this peaceful citizen is unacceptable.

If the government could find a way to roll and package weed and sell it on the store shelves , they would. Marijuana is harmless.
