John Morales, the actor who played the crime-fighting cartoon character McGruff the Crime Dog, was sentenced to 16 years in prison stemming from a 2011 arrest in which police seized 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons – including a grenade launcher – and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

        How do you expect him to take a bite out of crime? I think he was just true to his word, police aren’t stopping the real criminals so he just got more serious.

      Until 2023, it was federally illegal to possess any illegal drugs along with a firearm, and drug users were barred from buying firearms.

          You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone take this position. Pro/anti legalization yes, but never “it’s not a drug” (it’s a feature).

          You’re wrong, but at least you’re novelly wrong!

            There’s a famous quote from Schwarzenegger as CA governor where he said “It’s not a drug, it’s a leaf.”
