Been a long time supporter of de-criminalization, & spent many pleasant years out of the last 3 or 4 decades enjoying that "comfortably numb" state. My arguments in weed's favor is that it's impossible to O.D. (me & many others have tried to find the lethal dose...apparently it's somewhere way beyond the "nod-off" dose), non-addicting (no one I've known who really wanted to quit couldn't do it), & stoned people don't cause nearly as much trouble as drunk people do (ask any cop). My present occupation requires a clear head & clean urine, & my current medical conditions require too many prescription drugs, so I have no problem turning it down these days; but that's my point, we should all be free to choose, & the only really bad side effect of pot is going to jail. So there.
