62. Personally, I'm for decrim, not legalization

I may not be a "thinking person", but the issue is coming up on the ballot this Tuesday in Ohio.

I already voted early against the measure. Though I'm a long time user (45 years), the way I see it very little is currently being spent on marijuana enforcement in the Buckeye State or elsewhere. In light of the recent deadly heroin epidemic, certainly the drug task forces have much bigger fish to fry.

If it's legalized it absolutely will continue a black market of untaxed weed causing the state to spend millions to protect their revenue flow. The result will not only increase incarceration in a state where possession of 100 grams is currently a $100 fine, but cause property seizures under the guise of tax evasion. Further, there will be a focus on driving under the influence that is nearly nonexistent today.

The problem there is that TCH is stored in fat tissue and is released into the bloodstream over a period of two weeks to a month after use, meaning almost anyone suspected of driving while high can find themselves at odds with the law and in need of a lawyer. That's why opponents cite a bogus increase of marijuana related highway deaths in Colorado. Already, some ass in Columbus is trying to sell the state a roadside test he calls the "Cannibuster" in case it's legalized. Fortunately, the bill is likely ill fated.

Though I'm obviously a moron and haven't thought the issue completely through like yourself, I'm sticking with the decriminalization trend that has been in effect nationwide for decades, and if that sums up Ms Clinton's agenda, I'm with her. Even NORML favors reform in lieu of all out legalization (it's even in their name).
