DECRIMINALIZE POT

This decades-long experiment in social and cultural self-destruction via police-state neo-prohibition, aka "the war on drugs" must end, especially regarding marijuana.

We can try state initiatives like Proposition 19, but better yet, let's pass legislation properly reclassifying marijuana from schedule one to schedule five, or just declassify it completely.

It's really that simple to do, but politically difficult for our weak-willed mainstream politicians.
