1/3 of Americans support decriminalizing cannabis (gallup.com), which means that a majority of Americans do not support decriminalizing cannabis. The resulting injustice is a tyranny of the majority over a sizable minority. This tyranny displays itself as bad law. Bad law that is tearing families apart, and ruining peoples lives.
The Bill of Rights is failing us here.
The root of the problem is a lack of tolerance related to non-violent consentual acts. For non-violent consentual acts that have been deemed ''crime'' by the legal system, there must be a defined [u]level[/u] of tolerance at which point the act cannot be punishable. Currently, that [u]level[/u] of tolerance is a ''majority'', and this is the problem. 1/3? 1/10? 1/25? Put it in writing. A Legal Level of Tolerance at which point the government can no longer punish a [i]non-violent[/i] consentual act. A Legal Level of Tolerance clearly defines the level of the people''s approval/disapproval at which point the government can no longer punish a [i]non-violent[/i] consentual act. Polls will show it. Votes will confirm it.
America''s massive incarceration numbers are due to intolerance toward many non-violent consentual acts, and to the collateral violence resulting from this intolerance.

Of course the FDA and ITC haven''t done a real great job in protecting us against contaminated legal products, like dog food, heparin, toys, etc. etc. etc.
WebMD is so anti-pot you''d think they were just shill mouthpieces for the Harry J. Anslinger "reefer madness" crowd, or the DEA.
Hardly an unbiased news source.
