Having any law at all against people smoking or otherwise injesting marijuana if they want to is absolutely asinine. It plays directly into the hands of organized crime, and in no way protects the public. It is repressive, dictatorial, unnecessary, ineffective, and stupid to criminalize the use of marijuana. Anyone in government who supports the criminalization of marijuana use is a damned fool, at least as applies to that particular issue.

And I would like to add to that: I do NOT smoke or injest marijuana, and I have no desire to, but I don't believe in stopping other people from doing so, because in a genuinely free society that is THEIR business, not mine or anybody else's. They should also be allowed to privately grow it for their own use, because THAT is their business too. And not anybody else's.

If the cops stopped worrying needlessly about people growing or smoking marijuana, they could get something USEFUL done with all the time and money they would save.

If it was legal to grow marijuana at home for your own use, the big drug cartels could not make a profit from it, and they'd lose that business!
