So, because a former arrestable crime is no longer an arrestable crime is supposed to surprise anyone?
Why don't we legalize burglary to make the crime rates plummet even more?
Read all the way to the end of the sentence: "... freeing up law enforcement to focus on other criminal activity."
If you legalize drunk driving, drunk driving arrests will plummet.
people want to encourage more people to smoke this stuff?....its insanity....
and to think of the decades of the constant diatribe about cigarette smoking and how harmful it is even to non smokers, and weed is so much worse, and yet this is what the govt will do to get a few more upfront tax dollars?...and the sheeple just fall for it every single time...
We, taxpayers, are spending $20 BILLION a year to squash the activities of less than 2% of our population. Seriously?
