Reefer Madness!

Who thinks weed is a huge part of their life and makes them fail classes, not work, and crash cars?

Yeahh, that's what I thought. So much money goes to waste on a "crime" that isn't worthy of the punishment put on it. Our country spends thousands of dollars to arrest and jail people for a crime that has done no harm to anyone. If someone is driving under the influence? Sure, jail 'em. If someone is selling drugs? Sure, jail 'em. But if someone is caught with weed on them with no other visible crime, why spend so much time jailing them for doing something that causes no harm to anyone else, and causes no more harm than alcohol or cigarettes?

Canada's Senate's reported findings after decriminalizing marijuana:

* Marijuana is not a gateway to the use of hard drugs.

* Marijuana use does not lead to the commission of crime.

* Marijuana users are unlikely to become dependent.
((marijuana is not physically addictive!! it's less addictive than caffeine!))

* Marijuana use has little impact on driving.

* Liberalizing marijuana laws is unlikely to lead to increased marijuana use.

* Marijuana prohibition poses a greater risk to health than marijuana use.



If you live in Massachusetts, please vote YES on QUESTION TWO.

Let the punishment fit the crime.

So the title of this entry reminded me of the time we went to States for DI and we stayed up "late" and saw commercials about "Reefer Madness". We all laughed pretty hard at that lol
