If you believe that you own your own body, then it would make sense. I wonder what people will say in 100 years. Will they laugh at us for letting people with the label "government" lay claim on how we use our own bodies? I would think so.

I'm somewhat undecided on legalization vs. decriminalization. It's even more of an issue with drugs other than pot.

Ummm...also because they like to get toasted.
I think this plan is discriminatory.
"under my proposal, only adults age 21 and over would be allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana"
Why shouldn't 18-20 year olds have the right to blaze up? Those are the prime toking years.

Perhaps they will all be incredibly conservative and religious. It's a cheap trick to claim that your own view is the view of the future.

These are the years it's most likely to tip certain folks over the precipice into mental illness. A tiny minority are at risk, but those are the years.

Probably because 21 is the minimum age for buying alcohol, too (I think).
