As for the law, as long as MJ is criminalized then even those people with a small baggy are going to have a drug possession on their record. These small time consumers account for most of the 700,000 plus yearly arrests for marijuana. A majority of these arrests are for young adults under 25, thereby creating a criminal record for them. It will show up any time they go to get a decent job and will limit the choices they can take in life.

I have a real problem with this, yeah. And I really do not care who knows it.
As do I. But there are still far too many uneducated people out there that are brainwashed into the belief that Marijuana is the root of all evil.. and of course, more realistically and importantly; a parents concern.

The birth of the internet has done incredible things when it comes to spreading information, and being that the vast majority of our nations youth are either completely familiar with, or dependant on the internet, it allows information to be spread to such an incredibly wide and impressionable audience.

I am a strong supporter of decriminalizing and rescheduling marijuana. As for complete or age restricted legality of marijuana though, I am strongly opposed.
