I just looked at the top of the page and was reminded about how
Obama could de-schedule it with a stroke of his very well-used pen.
What would ya say if trump de-scheduled it? I mean, I've heard that he plans to crack down on recreational marijuana use. Iinm, the cops in Maine (:)) have been demanding clarification. Someone might want to look it up; it might be fake news.
Anyway, afa pot, grass, reefer, marijuana, etc., I don't think anyone should go to jail for it. I don't see why owning a weapon is more of a right than smoking a plant. I do see that Jeff Sessions, and others, know that the private prison system thrives on the incarceration of drug offenders. I mention Jeff because he wants to get rid of the Obama era JD rule that the federal gov't wouldn't use the private prison syste... er, business. But, excuse my tangent.
I think it's hypocritical that "legal" drugs are far more dangerous in fact, and everyone knows it. Yet, "moon shiners" have tv shows, and not more than one either. They're celebrated, and that comes from the long tradition of them being identified with American individual freedom, the belief that it was none of the government's business to interfere, the rebel spirit. Shucks, everybody knows it gave birth to NASCAR.
Here at RSF we can celebrate alcohol, but we also know its effects. So, count me in for decriminalization of marijuana for personal use, including the growing of plants. Hey, legalization and regulation is a matter for the community to decide.
