It will never pass. The Baby Boomers will have to be dead and gone before it could ever make it.

Hopefully sooner or later the Feds will finally make it legal. The War on Drugs has been a very VERY expensive failure.

Actually, there is a growing incentive to pass it than there is to keep it illegal. With cigarettes dying out and tobacco production dropping due to tight federal regulations marijuana cultivation will be far more lucrative.

Half ounce is very reasonable. I wonder if it changes the punishments for higher quantities.

As it stands now 1/2 oz to 10 lbs is a felony.

"Possession, casual exchange or distribution of one ounce or more would then become a misdemeanor with a $100 fine."

Didn't have a chance to read up on it tonight. Sounds like my home state is finally coming around. That is immensely reasonable, given societal standards surrounding civil liberties in the archaic south.

Yep. There are too many people in office that have been lied to for the past 40 years about marijuana. There is no changing these peoples' minds, no matter what science or anyone else says. There are people in this thread the exact same way and its really unfortunate.

This was in the comments of the article and i thought it was accurate and well said.

In the prohibitionist's world, anybody who consumes the slightest amount of marijuana responsibly in the privacy of their own homes are "stoners" and "dopers" that need to be incarcerated in order to to protect society.

In their world, any marijuana use equates to marijuana abuse, and it is their God given duty to worry about "saving us all" from the "evils" of marijuana use.

Who are they to tell us we can't choose marijuana, the safer choice instead of alcohol for relaxation, after a long, hard day, in the privacy of our own homes?

People who use marijuana are smart, honest, hard working, educated, and successful people too, who "follow the law" also.(except for their marijuana consumption under it's current prohibition of course) .

Not the stereotypical live at home losers prohibitionists make us out to be. We are doctors, lawyers, professors, movie stars, and politicians too.

Several Presidents of The United States themselves, along with Justin Trudeau, Bill Gates, and Carl Sagan have all confessed to their marijuana use. As have a long and extensive list of successful people throughout history at one point or other in their lives.

Although that doesn't mean a dam thing to people who will make comments like "dopers" and "stoners" about anybody who uses the slightest amount of Marijuana although it is way safer than alcohol.

To these people any use equals abuse, and that is really ignorant and full of hypocrisy. While our society promotes, advertises, and even glorifies alcohol consumption like it's an All American pastime.

There is nothing worse about relaxing with a little marijuana after a long hard day than having a drink or two of alcohol.

So come off those high horses of yours. Who are you to dictate to the rest of society that we can't enjoy Marijuana, the safer choice over alcohol, in the privacy of our own homes?

We've worked real hard our whole lives to provide for our loved ones. We don't appreciate prohibitionists trying to impose their will and morals upon us all.

Has a marijuana user ever forced you to use it? Probably not. So nobody has the right to force us not to either.

Don't try to impose your morality and "clean living" upon all of us with Draconian Marijuana Laws, and we won't think you're such prohibitionist hypocrites.

Legalize Nationwide! Support Each and Every Marijuana Legalization Initiative!

The bad-it causes lower IQ's. The good-if you have cancer it possibly shrinks tumors.


Cannabis shrinks brain? Study says pot abuse damages IQ ? RT News

Abuse is not the same as use. Moreover, correlation is not cause. The brain is dynamic and responds to a variety of stimuli. Persons who do intellectually simulating things, experience the kind of growth in question. Persons who do not, experience the kind of reduction in question. The individual who is getting high three times a day is, most often, the individual who is also not engaging in intellectually simulating activity.

Basically, if you sit around doing nothing most of the time, you are going to experience these "reductions" whether or not you're smoking pot.

Based on what?

Based on the fact that the IQ test standard of 100, indicates average IQ, is increased almost every decade and has never been decreased.

To put it in layman's terms, if you scored a 100 on the IQ test in 1930, you would have less intellectual capacity, according to test, than someone who scored 100 in 2015.
