Marijuana is on track to be legalized by end of 2019. Good news? Agree/disagree and Why?
Would be great; we can stop incarcerating people for getting high and keep violent offenders inside for their entire sentence instead.
The guy next door getting high does not bother nearly as much as knowing rapists and murderers got released early due to overcrowding.
It is good news and should have happened many years ago. How do you regulate use of a plant that grows wild in American fields? My belief is that it became illegal so it's use and sale could be fully regulated. That way somebody got the lion's share of profit.
I've read of a sheriff who says he does not care if it is made legal or decriminalized, he is going to arrest people he catches that have it anyway. Good luck with that one. It means you are going to be doing things that are against the law.
It's a tricky subject that was handled superbly by Kenya's tribal society years ago.
If a youngster got high on marijuana, when he should have been working, he was a wastrel and was shunned. (Major celebrations were excepted)
However, an old man, who had worked hard all his life, was now entitled to his dreams and leisure.
