I idea of dumping folks into jail for smoking some weed is absurb. Even more absurb is action to stop folks from accessing pot for medical use - that is more "criminal" than the act of smoking it.
The US has prided itself on having "freedoms", but sadly has more laws and restrictions on its own citizens than any country in the western world. The prison population exceeds that of any western country, - many inmates are paying the price for having a puff of Mary Jane.
Pot has been legalised (or never was illegal) in other countries as well as Canada and this trend will continue - there are far more important "crimes" that need attention than smoking pot. The sooner the US Admin admit this, the more the US taxpayer *may* see some taxes being put to better use. But the "control culture" in the US ain't going to be relaxed too easily under the current Admin - so little hope of that...
