Criminal?
Let's think about this for a moment...
From CNN today.
"In California, according to the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, crime arrest rates have generally plummeted statewide from 1990 to 2008 by an average of 40 percent. Drug possession arrests for everything but marijuana collectively fell by nearly 30 percent. But during that same 18-year period, arrests for marijuana possession in California skyrocketed 127 percent."
So, does that mean that people who were out committing violent or 'hard' drug related crimes 20 years ago, are now sitting around giggling, getting the munchies and watching TV instead? Is that a bad thing?
Personally, I don't think so...

I find it extremely disturbing that rapists, robbers, and murderers are going free because cops are wasting time and resources going after pot smokers.
