And when Grandma goes to jail, I'll bet it will have a great effect on her grandchildren. "Where's your grandma?" "Jail."

So if a grandma committed murder she shouldn't go to jail because of the children? Are grandmothers exmpt from the law?

Millions of people over thousands of years have enjoyed the effects of marijuana. The damage has been far, far less than from alcohol; indeed, less than from aspirin

Sorry I don't think of becoming a burnout as a beneficial effect. I don't go for the marijuana is a "wonderweed" arguement.

The only damage to our society, and specifically our Constitution, that can be attributed to marijuana comes from the corrupt War On Drugs

That's your opinion, but I don't think that the US Constitution stands on the right to smoke dope anytime, anywhere.

Grandma did not commit murder. She sold some weed. Kindly stick to the subject or I am out of here.

The Constitution does not permit pot smoking. That would be because the Constitution was written to restrain the government. Anything not prohibited in the Constitution is allowed by definition (cf: Civics 101).

This is a strawman. No one is suggesting that people should be able to smoke marijuana anytime anywhere. People aren't being arrested for smoking and driving or smoking and committing crimes, they're arrested for simple posession of a non-toxic plant. There can be no justification for persecuting marijuana users in a free society, and if we were a socialist society that locks up people for harming only themselves it would be the tobacco and alcohol users who got locked up. Any way you look at it marijuana prohibition makes no sense.
