I think you are the one that has growing up to do. Most people here for that matter have a lot of growing up to do. The point in changing things is because people who are doing something so innocent and harmless as smoking pot are going to jail for longer terms then most sex offenders. We are spending BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of our precious tax dollars trying to criminalize something so miniscule and harmless. Your argument about legalizing pot increasing crime has no background to it. Places like Amsterdam, where pot isnt legal but is FAR less prosecuted, have SIGNIFICANTLY lower crime rates and you wonder why that is? It's because they don't have a black market of drug dealers who will do anything and take down anyone to stay at the top, all you have to do to get a joint is stop by the local coffee shop. There are no drug dealers with thousands of dollars worth of product and cash on them to get robbed and people aren't trying to escape police in fear that they might go to jail for 25 years just for owning a stupid plant. The drug laws in America are WAY too strict and I, myself, being a tax payer, am sick and tired of throwing my hard earned money towards a pointless cause, if we used all the money we are spending trying to stop such a pointless crime towards a larger evil, such as poverty, we could pretty much eliminate it. My father is one of the smartest people I know full of wisdom and knows at least something about pretty much every subject and he has used pot since he was a teenager, so please stop with your moronic and ignorant comments that people who smoke are immature and stupid.
