1. Smoke a joint for that

Makes me want to smoke a joint.

2. There is a good argument for not legalizing marijuana, but it ain't this one...

The good reason is that it smells like ass, and every state that has legalized it has that fucking smell everywhere. Use edibles for fuck's sake. And you kids stay off my lawn!

3. Minnesota has 15 dogs.

"The Minnesota State Patrol K-9 unit is currently staffed with 15 K-9 teams trained to detect the odor of narcotics, and one team trained to detect explosives." Laying off fifteen dogs wouldn't increase the state's unemployment numbers all that much.

5. Even Minnesota has its share of crazies!

I mean after all, who can forget this gem from the 6th CD???

6. Move over, Texas! Looks like we've got ourselves a real doozie here in the North Country!

Just imagine the scene at the unemployment office. And all those dogs panhandling on street corners. Sadly, too many of these dogs will have to spend the rest of their lives getting their bellies scratched in someone's living room and chasing tennis balls at a dog park. Tragic.

8. It's all a power rush to law and order types

They love having power over the general public. Drug dogs give them power.

9. I don't own dogs

But even I know that most canines would rather spend their time cuddling with a hooman, sleeping on a sofa or bed, or running after a ball or stick than sniffing out drugs.

They're not all that difficult to distract or please.

10. Is it too much to hope that it leads to early retirement for the handlers too?

Jasinski is too stupid to live.
