More education needs to be done to show people the dangers of pot use. At the same time I wonder if de-criminalizing it would be better than turning our nation into a police state against a "plant" - for crying out loud. I believe pot is dangerous and makes people 'stupid', and it is not an answer for every health issue known to man, as it is so often advertised. The very fact that in the conspirator's long term agenda was to legalize drugs to dumb down the masses should be reason enough to reject drug use. This is a complex issue and all sides of the issue need to be presented.

One of the facts that people don't consider is how many people are in prison over marijuana possession. This has generated a prison population that is then utilized as a slave labor source for companies. There are over 2 million people in prison in the United States, more than anywhere in the world, including China. Those companies in turn use lobbyists to persuade politicians to keep those laws on the books so those companies stocks will go up and they will keep making more money from prisoners. That entire process is actually unconstitutional - like debtors prisons centuries ago. Enforcing those draconian laws breaks up families and ruins lives.

I am totally against drug abuse, but when you look at the entire picture of what is going on, I don't feel cannabis use should be a criminal offense. It simply doesn't make sense. A free people should be allowed to do what they like as long as they are not infringing on others. George Eaton
