Amen to that.

The Chicago City Council doesn't always act with wisdom and frugality, but it did so today in voting to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. Treating it as a crime wastes money, diverts police from truly scary activity and brands many minority youngsters with a police record that will hold them back in life. This new policy is more humane and more responsible.

Care to explain?

States, Counties, Cities need to look at this model, arrest for small amounts marijuana aren't necessary. I think even the most conservative, Christian, anti-marijuana person would agree. So to counter what you said, its a huge step-forward.
