And what goes does it do to toss all the marijuana users into jail? Shouldn't the police be focused on more violent criminals?

I just hope that one day we as a country can become more knowledgeable on the facts of the things we deem "evil" and "corrupt" before resorting to pack mentality for the sake of pack mentality. The War on Drugs has been such a failure that it amazes that anybody able to freely think would still even consider it to be a viable option anymore. The only war that needs to be waged on drugs is in the household, not on the streets. Proper knowledge of the facts as presented and the facts as learned needs to be used to its fullest potential. Marijuana (to me) is not a gateway drug, a menace to society, nor is it something to be condemned, feared, or an arrestable offense. On a side-note, I find the overall hypocrisy we as a society have had towards this drug (especially in the media). Being a "marijuana consumer" does not make you a criminal in the sense that you're going to become violent, commit crimes, and rape passersby. It makes you a criminal simply because you consume. To me, that is completely assinine. I hope they take the time to look over the facts, and even if nothing changes, at least take in the possibility that yes, a different approach in our way of thinking is not only needed, it is necessary.

I bet New York has to focus on these kinds of things a lot. But from your post, I don't know if I can tell if you're with or against marijuana arrests. I kind of have an idea, but again, it's debatable! ^_^ Sounds like it’s going to be a good lecture, and going to be a good debate on it as well.
