It's probably no secret that I'm a habitual "pot smoker" or as we have come to know ourselves by a more derogatory term: Pot Head. I see absolutely nothing wrong with my personal decision to live this lifestyle and quite frankly, I find it offensive to be associated with the everyday criminal. It simply is an ignorant claim.
Marijuana is a cash crop. It should be taxed and treated as a medicinal substance. If legalized, you would almost indefinitely see a rise in our economy. It will create many new job opportunities and help provide a state of mental relaxation (trust me, I know from experience).
No it won't solve all our problems, but it's a step in the right direction! I'm not saying it's for everyone, but don't criminalize those that do chose to do it.
Don't let ignorance be an excuse. Get educated and know the facts. Help us keep marijuana smokers out of jail and turn the focus on the real threats like cocaine or heroine.
Steve Cohen knew the facts, stared the FBI in the face and told them how it is!
