Think of all the savings in legal fees (court-appointed lawyers on taxpayer dime), incarceration, food, internet service, medical care, etc., if we would allow rapists, murderers, child molesters, armed robbers, etc., etc., to be "ticketed", and go on their merry way.

This is nothing but a scam to take us down the road to legalization (aka, Taxation) of ALL now-illegal drugs.
