Thread: Legalize Pot... ?

I believe marijuana should be legalized with the same controls as alcohol. Local sheriff's and the Fed's and local police
waste huge amounts of money just in Kali alone each year chasing down the fields all over the state. Just seeing those resources go to more effort to curb meth labs, crack dealers, heroin dealers and more pursuit of import of all of these
street drugs. When I worked for the irrigation District here in Merced County meth lab dumps in the canal systems was
happening several times a week.
Anyway just my two cents.

OK, but provided that -- as with alcohol -- an individual can grow cannabis freely, for his/her personal/family use. More than, let's say one-pound per/month, would constitute commercial use, and require whatever licensing/fees/etc. that the law requires for commercial-quantity home-brew (beer, wine, mead, spirits, etc.)
