Decriminilization is a lousy idea because it in no way solves the problem of organized crime that has become inextricably linked with the sale of weed. Full legalization is all that makes any sense.

To attach ANY punishment to weed is an injustice, I think. It shouldn't be treated like alcohol or tobacco because that would place it in the same category as dangerous and deadly poisons that it is somehow socially acceptable to consume. Rather, the legal age for cannabis should be lower (16, I think), and if you sell to someone who's under that age, you should get a moderate to low fine, with multiple offences resulting in a possible loss of licence. Any talk of a jail sentence is just ridiculous.

But if it was up to me, this would be important: corporatism would have to be kept out of weed. If it were up to me, laws would be enacted so if you have any sort of weed business, you can only employ a maximum of 10 people. Keep it a strictly Mom and Pop type thing, you know? As it stands, every toke we take is a fat gob of spit in the face of the DEA, the government, and the world of Big Business that would rather have us on cigarettes and pharmaceuticals. If pot were corporatized, we'd just be deepthroating the established order like any other consumers, so I'd want to see it restricted to small business.

If the corporations get their hands on weed, its purity will be lost!
