Marijuana decriminalization bill gaining support in Congress

[DieselNuts]

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

wow...Are you serious? I know plenty of people that have been busted for pot when they werent doing a damn thing but minding their own business.

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.

you are partially right here, but you get a year probation + jail time. Someone needs to find the stats for the amount of people that are in for 100grams or less and then you tell me that the govt. isnt spending much money on them.

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

This is just ignorant. You can, in no way, compair crack to pot. If you do, then you need to do some more research on the matter.

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

The point is, the money doesnt have to be spent the way you claim it would be.
