Personally, I feel the idea of "softening criminal laws" misses the reality of the situation. Two of the most dangerous 'recreational drugs' are legal, and you can buy any amount you wish. You could buy up a whole liquor store here in NH. I asked one day when 6 or 7 obvious early 20's guys bought a grocery cart brimming with alcohol. I asked the sales person - "isn't there a limit?" He said "no".<br /><br />Marijuana isn't 100% harm free, but it's much, much safer than the legal alternatives, that are accepted without much pause.<br /><br />We need laws and regulations based on fact, not fiction, and laws supporting criminalizing and persecuting cannabis users are fictional... they make no sense, are not based on fact, and undermine the trust society has in it's lawmakers. <br /><br />President Jimmy Carter understood that in the 1970's, and understood human beings have rights to what they consume. He legalized cannabis - just like that with a stroke of his pen. And just like that, FEAR and Fiction from the government I helped elect, overruled him. <br /><br />For what few minutes or days they were reality in Washington was realized. A proud day for me to be an American!BobKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591749929142963330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479833358229068060.post-63956651000024901362009-10-20T22:34:50.817-04:002009-10-20T22:34:50.817-04:00It will be interesting how the current administrat...It will be interesting how the current administration handles this subject. The criminal justice professors, <a href="http://www.generalblogofcrime.com/2009/10/big-news-about-federal-medical.html" rel="nofollow"> like this one</a> have been advocating softening criminal laws for years.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.com
