'Significant' Roman silver hoard found in Fife by teenager
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-40778533Nice! Lucky kid.
Except the museum people come and take it away with no payment to the kid. That's bullshit. If I found a bunch of Roman silver, I'd be selling it, not donating it.

Seriously? He gets nothing for the find/donating it? Pfft bs. Yeah I'm with you, time to find a private collector or something.

@quixoticjeremy I saw nothing in the article that mention him getting any payment. Plus the fact that it is "historical" means the gov't can sweep in and lay claim to your property.

@mlnews The clause to penalize states that dont legalize makes this bill DOA, which is unfortunate. removing Schedule 1 status would be huge.

It only punishes them if they don't decriminalize, they don't need to legalize. Quite different things. Booker is a powerhouse politician, this might actually make some noise.

As much as I'm completely against publishing c smoking because there is no way to keep your smoke away free m me as I walk by, I am totally for the legalization of bud. It just need to be treated like alcohol. You drive high, busted. You operate heavy machinery, busted.

Most of those are already covered in the DUI laws.

Yes, nothing should be unique to marijuana. If other laws don't cover it, something is seriously wrong.

@quixoticjeremy classic, I've not seen it in many a year. Used to watch it so much, but now it's easily been twenty years. Can't really remember the last time that I watched it.
