The problems I see with the WOD are the wealthy criminals, the legions of jack boots, and the ubiquitous violations of rights. While decriminalization will save us the trouble of feeding and housing drug users it will still maintain the government opression apparatus and will keep the supply and distribution in the hands of real criminals.

If we no longer care that it is consumed (enough to jail users) is it really worth it to keep the JBTs employed and the dealers rich?

Decriminalization is for people who don't have the balls to come out and say we should just make it legal. I'd like to see it legalized at the federal level, and let each state decide whether to legalize it at their level (I think they should, but let them decide for themselves). But then, I actually believe in the US Constitution.

Quite agree, but it does show how far the country has shifted when a Republican governor of Texas throws pot prohibitionists under the bus. (bumpity-bump bumpity-bump!)
