Treat marijuane like alcohol.

Prohibition was a failure a century ago and is still a failure.

Somebody must think they can win elections with “law and order” posturing on marijuana like the Republican criminal justice-law enforcement bureaucrats in Washington.

Pot is no good, I wouldn’t just it just like I used to mess with alcohol.

But its best that I make the choice not to indulge rather than government crackdown.

It just gives the law enforcement-criminal justice bureaucracy justification for their existence.

It’s still amazing to me that as a people, we at one time thought it necessary to pass a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit alcohol, and shortly thereafter, did not have to do so to prohibit MJ and other drugs.

Or maybe treat marijuana like cigarettes? Even after marijuana was legalized the underground sales that went on around us was staggering in the little town in Colorado. And then the marijuana wasn’t good enough so in came heroin and tar. A parole officer out there told us that’s what happened. Got out sold our house.
