No Big Deal

In Imperium Primum Officium II's latest blog entitled "What's the Big Deal?", the author argues in favor of lowering the punishment for marijuana offenders. Like many people under 60, I also agree. I myself am not a marijuana consumer but, I know plenty of people who are. Not one of them have ever hospitalized due to their marijuana use. Much like the prohibition days, the war on drugs is not going so well for our law enforcement agencies. While I agree with the author, I would say it's time to take it a step further than just lowering the punishment. Texas, and the United States, should legalize it and generate taxes from the sales. The laws and punishments should be no different than that of alcohol.
