War on pot rejected by voters

[Dawn Meredith]

That's interesting, Dawn. It's not surprising though, considering over 50% of the 18-50 age group in the US have used cannabis, leaving one to doubt the practicality of a law which criminalises over half the population:

And for those who still think that decriminalisation would lead to an explosion of cannabis use, the evidence points in the other direction. In Holland, where cannabis has been legally available since 1976, the per capita usage is one third that of New Zealand, where prohibition is still in place:

A study done in NH decades ago showed that when pot was decrim. there the amount of teen usage went way down. Teens do things sometimes BECAUSE they are illegal. So the government's argument- that more kids will use, or leads to harder drugs - is just another false one. But it works with the lying media and uneducated "folks" (to use a "Billo" term)
