America should decriminalize marijuana, and stop the oppression/witch hunt of non violent offenders.. hell a rapist can get out of jail and still have their car..
There is no doubt pot is not something that inspires
and motivates,and life is better lived above the influence, but there is no point in persecuting free people who choose to do so in the name of some misguided
moral point of view. I have seen a great deal of suffering by those prosecuted while visiting as a spiritual mentor to many in jail, it makes no sense to call ourselves Christians while persecuting these non violent offenders, while accepting alcohol, etc.. and it makes no sense to begin an inquisition to make all be like a few, ie..let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.... Tax it, get rid of the mexican drug war, spend the money used for jails on education, and for all non violent offenders spend the money on rehab, not prisons.That would help the country and lift the image of the Christian community as being tolerant. Some say that tolerance is not the answer, I am sure thankful God is tolerant and forgiving, even if many
who follow him are not.
