Due Approach – “Decriminalize Pot? NJ Ponders”
Posted on 29 January 2012 by admin
It took two decades to pass medical marijuana, and two a long time later, it is nevertheless not up and operating. So what are the chances for a new bill that would decriminalize smoking modest quantities of pot – just for pleasure? On this edition of Due Process: the pros and cons … and politics … of legalizing recreational marijuana. Our opening mini-doc features film photos of pot – from “Reefer Madness” to “Woodstock” – as effectively as dueling present perceptions. Though a Princeton psychiatrist can make the argument that alcohol presents better dangers than pot, a retired police lieutenant insists that pot really is a gateway to the challenging stuff. And the voice of The Star-Ledger, Editorial Web page Editor Tom Moran, explains the Ledger’s help for decriminalization. In the studio, Raymond Brown and Sandra King place the societal, health and enforcement concerns to Rutgers Philosphy Prof. Doug Husak, former Prosecutor Donald Rinaldi and the Rev. Dr. William Howard, former chair of the Rutgers Board of Governors.

again he makes no sense if we legalize pot the drug dealers are going to be selling it. thats suggesting that 1. selling legal pot makes them un-arrestable, 2. it wouldn’t make catching these people easier because lets face it these paranoid prohibitionist are going to be watch our every move to jump on every little bad thing that happens after legalization. so this really works in the opposite direction for the argument. 3. good pot smoking people don’t like being involved in criminal activity.
CONTINUATION. SO ITS FINE JUST AS LONG AS YOU DIDN’T MEAN TO GET DRUNK AND DRIVE AND CRASH INTO SOMETHING. and this is all not to mention drunks who are addicted and the decision isn’t firmly in their grasp. (marijuana is as addictive as coffee so there wouldn’t be as many people going that route)
what anti glasses guy is saying is that you know your getting intoxicated when smoking pot (even if your no where near unmanageable then some who’s drunk), but with alcohol its only people who aren’t use to drink that will get drunk from small amounts (and seeing how alcohol impairs judgement (unlike marijuana)) would drive thinking they can handle it, or it could be someone who might of had two-three beers but were kind of big and accidentally drank to much.
