Pot Use Doesn't Discriminate, but Our Pot Laws Do

While society has made some progress on tolerating pot consumption, there are still many laws on the books that cause more harm than the smoking of marijuana. Close to 800,000 people were arrested for marijuana last year, and the vast majority for only possessing small amounts. Harry Levine and Deborah Small put out a report last year that found that between 1998 and 2007, New York City police arrested 374,900 people for low-level, misdemeanor marijuana offenses. That is more than eight times the number of arrests on the same charges for the previous 10-year period (between 1988 and 1997), when 45,300 people were picked up for having small amounts of marijuana.

Here is the guy who has won more gold medals than anyone in history,
and obviously his health and accomplishments are not hindered by
smoking some pot...Successful and
honorable people who have smoked some pot are all around us, from
President Barack Obama to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Good points, didn't know Obama and Bloomberg had done it too.
