Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rooster1971" data-source="post: 2352453" data-attributes="member: 19292">Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use. We can, and should, continue to discourage the use of marijuana, but this can be done without defining the smoker as a criminal.   Jimmy Carter. Addressing Congress Aug. 2 1977Probably the smartest thing this lame duck president ever said. Sad that 36 years later we are still locking up more people than ever for this.</blockquote>
