I am pretty much a
libertarian when it comes to drugs and alcohol. If you want to smoke marijuana, fine. Do so. I live in California as mentioned which is a decriminalized zone in regards to marijuana. Here it is just like Canada, a small $100 fine for up to an ounce on you.
Some people reading this thread probably live in towns and cities where this is not the case. But here, you get in more trouble for walking around with an open container of beer than marijuana. California decriminalized in 1976, and has been the discussion point of many for decades and its success is really why the "decriminalized" approach is being accepted in more places throughout America. The police reports do not lie, the propaganda does.
Professors across America and even a local
Judge up for Senate has talked about how if Americans knew how much of their money is being wasted in the drug war, theyd stop paying taxes. Anyway - not to go too far into this -
facts
California saves billions alone by being decriminalized. I am absolutely in favor of medical marijuana.
As for booze, same thing. One can follow history and see what happened during "Prohibition" in the U.S. regarding alcohol. You want to drink? Fine.
As for me being an alcoholic. Yes. I sure am. I have been through AA and even still have my chip! It took a lot to go the first meeting and accept it, but after doing that it's been very easy now to no longer drink every day.
I do not drink everyday anymore, and can control my drinking now,... and that alone is great.
