>>Brandon - I'm curious if you have kids. Same with Victor. I think you would look at this in a very different light if you did. Of course, if you have kids....kindly disregard.

>I have no kids of my own...but Ahh yes the old "you don't have kids so you know nothing" statement. Let me point out that in places where they've opted to legalize mj the usage among kids and young people DROPPED (along with all other demographics)...so if you really care about the children then you would want to treat mj as a heath issue not a legal issue. Get them educated about drugs and if needed some sort of treatment instead of tossing them in jail...yes?
