Pot is a waste of court time and prison beds.

We haven’t stopped murder or robbery either. So?

Let’s see if you can describe the difference between marijuana use and murder/robbery.

We havenât stopped murder or robbery either. So?Two-thirds of murders get solved - the proportion of pot 'crimes' that are even known to the authorities is assuredly several orders of magnitude smaller.
And murder and robbery violate rights, whereas pot growing, selling, and using do not.

I still think Fedgov will decriminalize and move toward regulation and taxation.
There's just too much money to be made, and Uncle Sam wants his share.

I’d happily go for this so long as it’s coupled with a repeal of all the rights-raping legislation they’ve passed using the WOD as a cover.

I hate to see the kids using pot because there is a lot of evidence that it does interfere with the growth of their brains. I really do not care about what people over 25 do with their bodies.

high potency marijuana as causing significant brain damageHeavy drinking isn't good for the brain either ... but banning a drug, be it alcohol or pot, only encourages the making and use of more concentrated forms (in order to make concealment easier, and the act of getting a buzz quicker so less detectable).

Not only has the WOD not stopped drug addiction,
it has had no effect on it.

I hate to see the kids using potKids have been reporting for years that they can get pot more easily than cigarettes or beer - which stands to reason, since only sellers of legal goods have incentive to 'card' buyers.

Crime is crime. The only reason people want to legalize it is because they need it to live. Btw, I don't drink either. I don't need drugs to enjoy life or have a good time.
Good luck.

Decriminalize it.
WOD = WOP = fail.
More freedom is always better. Less government is always better.

I don't drink either.Do you think alcohol should be banned?
