Well, I think possession of personal use quantities needs to be
decriminalized, especially for marijuana. I'm against lifting criminal
penalties for drug trafficking and big-time dealing.
That is a weasel position. Where are the "personal use" quantities
supposed to come from?
This is as bad as the other ill fated prohibition experience we had.
They tried to punish the manufacturers and importers without
criminalizing the use too.
You don't need a history book to see how that worked out, you just
need to look at our inner cities and the Mexico border..
Where? From licensed stores, of course. If you are over 18 and you want
pot, you should be able to buy a couple of ounces it at a licensed
store. The state would be able to collect its tax, just as it does with
cigarettes. There are ways to regulate how much you buy in any given
time period.
There are ways to regulate prescription drugs that are already in place.
We all know how well that works.
