I’m anti-drugs and I believe that marijuana is a ‘gateway’ drug for some but I also realize that it is readily available to anyone who wants it and that U.S. society has basically decided to ignore it’s medical and cultural negatives at this point. Hence, laws ‘decriminalizing’ pot now abound in many states. To some, a bold step forward and a good thing. To others, a step backward as a society and one that we may regret some day. History will be the judge.
I think im for decriminalization. I have seen far more damaging properties to alcohol abuse than I have ever seen of pot abuse. Regulating the substance and cheapening it could potentially lessen certain drug wars but not all of it.
THere is always unforeseen consequences to decriminalizing pot though so I wont pretend to be an expert. I have never touched it and dont intend to.
Victory for freedom!
