We have had many pot debates on the forum in the past. I'm with you on this, it is a costly never ending war they will never win. We are criminalizing otherwise normal productive good people over pot. And it is costing tax payers billions a year to fund the war and house the incarcerated over this. Pot is the lesser of the evil when it comes to alcohol. Alcohol has ruined more lives than most of the illegal drugs combined. Most of us know what the pot craze was when this war was started. It was about racism pure and simple. We also have discussed the medicinal values of pot compared to the cons. All in all it should be legalized to an extent. I would be smoking right now if it was legal, i loved pot. It is not as bad for you as alcohol and cigarettes yet they are legal. Never heard anyone say they smoked a joint and went home and beat their wife and kids, or wrecked and killed anyone from smoking it. It is always alcohol or the harder drugs and pills. The war on pot was started illegally and unconstitutionally also. They never followed the rules in determining and making a drug illegal when it came to pot. People should know the truth before jumping in the witch hunt on something like this.
In MS they have decriminalized pot some but are still tossing people in jail when they could simply give them a ticket for it. We know it is all about money and keeping the jail population up for the funds.
