I so agree with you. The criminalization of what is, essentially, a biochemical problem is what we ran into with the WOA (War on Alcohol- AKA prohibition). Why people can't/won't learn the lessons of the past I've no idea, but this lesson should have been learned a long time ago. It's a great shame we're wasting time and money on dead ends now, instead of working on real solutions.

Agreed 100 % When Weed got to be linked as one of the more odious drugs capable of addiction is the time when it became illegal. Many thought it was the precursor to later use of a more lethal and addictive drug such as those I mentioned in my response to you. I think that a lot of information that was disseminated and still is about drugs is incorrect and that you are right when you point out that to have kids in prison for use of Weed is more than ridiculous.. It's like jailing a shoplifter who picks up a $5.00 item with a bank robber who at gun point steals thousands.... AND then of course I could get onto another favorite topic of mine... how crooks rob you disguised as financial planners or advisors and lose money for you and nothing is ever done as fraud is difficult to prove.
