I'm not a youth. I'm a grown man and I own a home and work hard. I am married and have a baby coming. I want to smoke some pot once in a while without going to prison. Is that OK with you? If not, would you be willing to come try to throw me in jail yourself over this? Or would you rather pay thugs with guns and badges to come and take me away instead while you sit back in safety as the police use violence on people you've never met to enforce your personal morals on society?
