It should be decriminalized. This is a personal choice that really effects no one. The enforcement of these archaic laws are a waste of money and rime.
Law enforcement has better things to do.

I agree. I don't know why we're still having this conversation. I smoked my share of weed in the late 70's. I no longer partake. But when I retire I'd like to be able to kick back once and awhile. I think it would knock down my drive and motivation while I'm working.

40 Plus years since the 60's and it's STILL not legal nationally. I just don't see how it's worse than alcohol..

I agree, better than a lot of the other things out there, though I have no current friends or acquaintances who use it. I'm going on 56, and smoked quite a bit in the 70's, then mostly only other peoples' in the 80's if I happened to be in a social situation which included it, but then virtually zero in the last 25 years.
It would be great, as you say, to kick back once in a blue moon as we get older and catch a buzz, and not be breaking the law.

Anybody see the movie "It's Complicated"? We laughed our butts off at Meryl Streep and Steve Martin in the pot scene.

Back to this or perhaps I should move the whole thing over to off topic?
