Alcohol, over the counter medication, and prescription drugs are legal for all the people to possess. But, taking into consideration the amount of property damage, the number of deaths, the health issues, and addictions associated with them, it's fairly obvious these products aren't the right choice for a lot of people. LEGAL DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE, ILLEGAL DOESN'T MAKE IT WRONG FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.

Jump on the illegal band wagon will they? Illegal is illegal? Deport illegals crossing our borders then. They cause more harm than weed will ever cause.

I work overseas and run drilling rigs, been to many countries this would have been a joke if he was arrested. All I can honestly say is, can't wait till I retire and no longer drug screened so I can sit on my front porch or back deck with a good sack and burn. I had to chose between smoking and working to support my family. Haven't had a bowl in 30 years. Man do I ever miss it!!!!!

I wonder how much this is going to end up costing the tax payers after it's all said and done. How many dangerous and violent people are going to slip through our justice system? Because our present priorities of justice define a person by what they possess first, instead by how they treat the people in their community. The money wasted on this failed policy would go a long way towards keeping murderers, sexual predators and thieves off the street. These types of criminals have no respect for human life or the personal properties of others.

growing weed should be legal importing it should be a crime. If you got 100 pounds wrapped up then u are a dealer, if you got some plants growing legally its for personal use it should be fine. It will drive the price down so far it wouldnt be worth it to import it
