Personally, no. I'm not real big on jail sentences for illegal drug use except in repeat cases to begin with. I'll leave it to others more knowledgeable to me to prescribe actual sentences for these matters. But I don't believe in completely legalizing illegal drug use. I don't see a first time offender going to jail either.
To: plain talk
There are first time offenders convicted for simple possession only in federal prison -- see posts 1325 and 1326.
But I agree, I don't think most drug use should be legalized. I think it should be decriminalized, with education and treatment being the major anti-drug focus.
