to be honest, I'd much rather see them devoting time to the west coast's crystal meth problem than to pot.
I am not advocating the legalization, but there are higher priorities that are more destructive to our communities.

Just got an absentee ballot the other day and I77, the "Latte Tax" to pay for child education, ran several pages.
How about taking your $400 per kid tax cut and using that for their education? Why make urbanites with no kids pay for your's education? The no-kids people are already paying property taxes for their schools.

I have a serious problem with casual pot smokers doing time. Getting butt raped in prison for a doob. Jeeze.
I don't do pot, or anything, but jailing them is contributing to the HIV problem.

You got any chips... As a matter of fact I do! With some guacamole dip, some ice cold lemonade, some nice fresh Bartlett pears, and a few bottles of cold Corona to kill the coughing fit.

The measure's endorsers include the King County Bar Association, The League of Women Voters, the King County Democrats and several Seattle City Council members....
Nevertheless, she said the initiative was bad law. She said it is both vague, since it doesn't define what personal use is, and problematic because it would put the city attorney in the position of having to enforce state and federal drug laws on marijuana, but also being told to nearly ignore them. Interesting juxtaposition there.

Stupid feel-good laws. Tell that to the poor, unlucky stoner who the cops and the courts decide to "make an example" of.

I agree. Police resources are better devoted to tackling major felony crimes. Its common sense as well as the best way to spend our limited law enforcement dollars.

"Of the 16,000 misdemeanor cases each year in Seattle, less than one percent are for marijuana possession""Unlucky" would be the operative word.
