Just for the sake of clarity, please keep in mind that decriminalization and legalization are not the same thing. Several states have already “decriminalized” marijuana, meaning they have taken away the threat of jail and in most states that have decriminalized those caught with it are not left with criminal records. Officers will generally confiscate the pot though and write these people a ticket, similar to what you might get if you drive too fast. A lot of people use “decriminalize” and “legalize” interchangeably, and that just leads to confusion in this kind of discussion.

Thank You, I should keep the legalization and decriminalization in mind.

I am for the opening up of the drug market. I have problems with headaches that will increase to migranes. I wish I could just buy the medicines that helped me. But I have to go to the doctor for refills, driving up my medical costs and taking good time from my schedule. When I moved I had to reestablish trust, which resulted in great pains for me. Doctors just don’t want to expose themselves to the lawyers and the feds by giving a patient what they ask for.

There’s something terribly wrong with our system.
