I think she’s simply talking priorities. You have ma and pa hippies next door smoking a joint from pot they grew in their back yard (depending on the state it’s legal if you have a medical marijuana license) or next door you have a 65 year old grandmother being beat up and robbed. Resources are finite. Besides, the war on drugs is a miserable failure. I honestly don’t know what approach to take but I do know the one we’ve been using hasn’t worked. After this many decades you’d think people would realize that.

I agree. I’m actually not trying to pick on her too hard. I give her credit for leaning in the right direction. I agree she’s being practical. That’s what ignoble prohibition laws do to otherwise good people. They turn them into hypocrites.

I suggest we put the Federal Government in charge of the cultivation, packaging and distribution of marijuana. Personal harvestors should have to obtain a goverment permit ...

That should dry it up! LOL
