Measure 33 would make it easier for ailing people to obtain marijuana and allow them to possess more of it -- up to a pound at a time.

Geez...even the worst stoner doesn't have a pound of grass on hand at any given time. Hell, under most (if not all) drug statutes, possession of over 4 ounces is deemed as possession with intent to distribute.

I find it so strange when society is doing everything it can to practically criminalize tobacco while it seeks to legalize marijuana (a drug that, when smoked, has several times more tar and carcinogens than tobacco).

I don't know that's true. There are so many chemicals in cigarettes. Granted joints don't have filters but you don't smoke 30 a day either.

Actually if you use a vaporizer you have nearly zero carcinogens. Plus, people don't smoke as much pot as they do tabacco so it evens out. Keep in mind there is not one documented case of cancer from smoking pot.

Nobody smokes two packs of joints a day! NOBODY!

If your concerns were based in fact, it might be other than tendentious.

As it is, alchohol does far more damage that all drugs.

Start advocating against alcohol and how it messes up people's lives. That would help more people than railing against pot.
