I am not a libertarian, and I have never smoked pot. But I want it decriminalized.

De-criminalize, that's the way to go.

Points to ponder:

How many court cases would have to be immediately dropped, and how many inmates would have to be released?

How many employers would have to re-write their drug policies?

How many urine-testing and drug-screening outfits would have to change policies and procedures?

How many police would lose 'side' income?

How much federal interdiction money would go bye-bye?

Has prohibition created too large of an anti-pot economy? Will this economy die willingly and gracefully?

I know you don't really believe that the poster made that comment in good faith.
