a real stoner, or anyone who enjoys pot, would want it legalized.
Just to place another opinion on this topic. I have been smoking pot for more than thirty-five years, still grown to this day. I am for decriminalization and completelty again legalization. There is a major difference, with legalization you will get government controls, regulations, and modifications. With decriminalization, it simply removes any and all criminal punishment, for adults over the age of 18, for the growing, cultivation, possession, and smoking of marijuana. At the same time it puts in place a method to where by the government can still bring prosecution against people who deal to minors and who commit other crimes regarding other so called "soft drugs". If more marijuana activist would just listen to this arguement they would understand the fastest and best way to actual legalization would be first through decriminalization and then to legalization. More people would vote for than against. When asked recently why the voters OVERWHELMINGLY voted down legalization, in Alaska, the number one response was always something regarding needing a way to try and keep it away from kids. At the same time they all stated that if it were decriminalized for growing, cultivation, possession, and smoking for adults over the age of 18, while retaining criminal punishment for dealers, they would have voted in favor of decriminalization.
Just something to think about.
