Decriminalization is an option which fixes 2) but doesn't entail condoning usage (which I imagine a lot of people are worried about).

- pilom 10y agoI don't understand how decriminalization is a long term option. We're saying, it's ok for you to do this, but anyone who provides the service for you is breaking the law (not to mention if you try to service yourself by growing, that's also illegal). It just pushes the drug war up a level to the producers. The costs of the drug war would still exist and the funds wouldn't get put towards rehab programs or schools like they do where it is legalized.
- hx87 10y agoDecriminalization still leaves a legal gray area, which given how racist and power-trippy local law enforcement tends to be does not sit well with me.
