stew, I agree that our laws have become skewed as it relates to things like MJ and other non-violent drug related crimes.
there certainly needs to be a re-evaluation of these things for sure. dont confuse my belief that we should not legalize all MJ with meaning I think laws against it are ok as is.
it seems to me our reaction to MJ especially has been poorly thought out.
the studies I have seen suggest that MJ in particular has a very serious danger of leading to mental illness at greater rates than a number of other legal and non-legal drugs. especially in people under 21.
