copy and past,

its a bill to legalize marijuana in our great state, going up before the state reps. Got a fairly good chance.
Call your reps and tell them whether your thumb is up or down.

ya, you lose.

my main reasons are:
a) stop wasting my tax dollars policing and persecuting it. so much money goes down that drain, even if they don't get a conviction.
b) start taxing it, great way to get some money out of those high school students.

this is for legalization.

a decriminalization would have a better chance, but would not provide the tax revenue.

well if we consider that 90% of newschoolers is under 18 years old, I'd say you won't get very far with that.

I am all for it with you Billy.  Not a smoker myself, never have been never will be, but jesus there is so much crime because of its illegality.  Not to mention how many people are in prison because of it.  You make it legal, suddenly there is less crime/violence, prisons aren't as crowded, tax the hell out of it and we get some much needed money.  this country sucks.
