Marijuana Decriminalization Bill

[Hooper]

I can tell you this, in my line of work I have seen the hell that the abuse of "legal" drugs have wreaked on people. It is a crime that these perscription drug companies turn this stuff out on a population and it destroys lives and families. Oxycontin is worse than herion, but, "my doctor gave it to me, it must be ok." I've seen that little pill can turn a hard working productive human being into a maniac. I haven't seen pot do that, and I have seen Budweiser do it.

I'd rather deal with someone on a bit of weed than a 12 pack of Bud anyday.

Well, unless you have terminal cancer, crippling back pain, etc. and the only reason you can now sleep through the night or go through life without blowing your brains out is extended release narcotic painkillers (i.e. Oxycontin). There are two sides to the OC story. Admittedly, the other side is that drug addicts like to crush them up to get the 12 hr dose all at once, and doctors can be criminals like anyone else.

Anyway, I don't see a reason for pot to be illegal either. Make it illegal to drive high and for kids - that's all that's needed.

There's no constitutional basis for the government to be able to legislate what people put into their own bodies.
