i was for legalizing it because of the hypocrisy of alcohol and tobacco.... but because of the assholes who abuse every fucking thing they get their hands on i am for just decriminalizing it.....and that is for the responsible smokers.....out here it has basically been decriminalized since the late 80's and they have not had the problems in the magnitude that was promised by the Katz of the world....what i gathered from talking to HS kids on my route in the 90's....pot was easy to get.....but it was like....so what?.....many kids i found out did not do drugs or did them only at parties.....The only "mentally ill" characteristic associated with marijuana is its prohibition: The war against pot has been vigorously waged since Nixon declared it. At least a trillion dollars has been spent on arresting and prosecuting Americans for selling and possessing it, effectively ruining their lives. Yet there is no credible, scientifically established evidence that any of the Reefer Madness claims made about it are true. In spite of this irrefutable proof that marijuana is not only relatively harmless but is beneficial in many ways, the same pointlessly redundant "war" continues to be waged against this natural plant. And what is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result known as. . .?
I would support decriminalization but of course, not legalization. Many states already give only a fine at most for having pot. Legalization sends a message to inexperienced young people that there is nothing dangerous to pot.
