Pot smokers make a big deal of legalization but seriously, have legality issues ever prevented anyone from acquiring the stuff? I think many people are focusing on legalization because they want to avoid the real question, namely what is your personal relationship with this potent narcotic. Are you in charge of it, or is it in charge of you?

Ignoring the whole "potent narcotic" thing for a second (since it's not really either), I personally don't ingest cannabis but I have in the past and frankly it's like alcohol in that you can have a little (and feel a bit relaxed) or a lot (and feel really intoxicated). Either way, I'm focused on decriminalization because the concept of throwing someone in prison for their diet is abhorrent to me.
