The flaw in logic is yours for relating smoking pot, a crime with no victim, and murder, the most extreme crime in regard to the result for the victim.

It might surprise you to know that a large number of federal judges have favored legalization for some time now, and their numbers grow every year. As these are the people best equipped to monitor and comment on the criminal justice system as it relates to drug use, I feel their conclusions are significant.

Aside from that, I'm tired of paying for it. Our state decriminalized smoking pot and possesion of less than an ounce over a decade ago, and use of pot is said to have declined over that same period. What is certain is that society has not come to an end, we have save millions of tax dollars that would have been spent chasing down and prosecuting low level users.
