doing things backwards?

Does anyone else think they're about to screw up even worse an already awful drug policy?

so many people in jail or have felonies for marijuana. And we pay for them to be in jail. Let people who want to smoke, smoke. Don't hurt nobody else. Other drugs do have serious side effects. Its ridiculous that one person can do it legally and their neighbor can go to jail for it

Did you not read that article?

I do not know if he read it, but I did. After reading it I have a weird feeling of deja-vu. I could swear thats the same article they had me reading in middle school 30+ years ago.

LOL

I read it but I was high so it made no sense.....

I read it. They're talking about shifting the focus from cocaine and heroin to marijuana. Those are worse for you. Clearly. Even if you dont do them when you're young.

word! 'I smoke two joints in the morning...'

It's pretty much a one sided paper though. I would think they should have asked questions to the ppl at www.norml.org
