Obviously, the not so criminally inclined must deal with even more hardened criminals in order to acquire a substance that is not criminal to possess the moment they buy it. Sounds confusing? I should think so. This is not rocket science: Decriminalize the possession of one to three plants for personal consumption and you drive the hardened criminal out of business. The proposed legislation is not solving anything and is creating more ambiguity and uncertainty. Is this really the best they can come up with? - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
