re: #43 Sharmuta

Honestly- I agree completely. But I also agree throwing users in jail is not the answer. These people need treatment, not jail.

The people we ought to have in jail are the people who are hurting others- real criminals. Not self-abusers.

A lot of self-abusers are hurting others as well. Have you ever worked in a place frequented by meth-heads. Its rather spooky. You can argue with a drunk and kick him out but someone so out of it that they just look at you, agree with you, then just sit there is rather unnerving.

I think pot should be decriminalized and that it should be regulated like alcohol. Just as the gvmt keeps track of the Proof of alcohol, they could keep the thc Proof controlled. Same penalties for abuse.

BUT you have a problem. With smoking becoming illegal in so many bars across the country, will it be jellow pot shots
