The problem is viewing all substances as "equal"...

Anyone with an IQ over 50 knows hemp isnt as harmful as coke heroin, meth, or even abused alchohol..

Another problem is unequal enforcement...a coke user will only test positive for about 24-48 hrs...a hemp user will test positive for up to 28 days...

While a coke user will exhibit behavior traits and screw up a job...chances are...the hemp user has a family and works 40 hours a week safely...

The biggest problem is the ill gotten booty the state "steals' under the guise of forfieture...the "property" is accused of the crime....and given to the state free of charge...in many cases...without a "person" ever being charged with a crime...

Those of us who believe in personal responsibility think those who actually screw up should be held responsible....while the rest would simply like to be left alone to enjoy their "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness"...

Until their actions directly effect another adversely....they should be left alone....and leave resources for more important tasks...

Like catching killers and baby rapers and the scum that go out of their way to adversely effect other people...

my 2.5 cents.

Your mileage may vary

Right ... I am about 50/50 on de-criminalization of drugs, but if we used half the resources we do to fight drugs, we could catch these sickos and put them away!
