No such thing as a non-violent drug offender. Marijuana isnt enarly as bad as harder drugs, but it does lead to crimes.

If you are possessing it in quantities that fall under personal use the govt doesnt spend much on your prosecution. Many times it is simply a fine and maybe a short probation.

Crack is readily available too. Should that be legal also?

Pointless arguement as the money would then be spent to crack down on smugglers and illegal dealers who would sell it tax free.
