Just wait until Madison Avenue starts actively promoting it.

De-criminalized is one thing. Legal is a whole ‘nother can of worms.

I personally think the pro legalization crowd would be a lot smarter to push decriminalization rather than legalization. Legalization brings regulation, taxation and corruption.

I must admit that I do enjoy the infighting they fall into with "medical" marijuana dispensaries pop up all over town. It doesn't take long for one owner to figure out that tugging the ears of a few city council members can be helpful in eliminating some of the competition.

Well I would say pot smokers are less likely to even be bothered to go vote.

my reasons for decriminalization are simple....

the penalties for personal use cause more harm than the drug itself...
