Marijuana Laws Are Discriminatory

Greg...
I was kind of worried that you did not realize it was me... and I did not have time to explain it, as our ride was trying to leave.
But your welcome, we have been eying you stuff for a while now.

I know a bit about "Addictive Personalities" I have one, I can easily be addicted to anything I like. If you noticed I think dope and other drugs should be legal, but the rehab/help system needs to be in place and easily accessible. I am a product of an alcoholic family and have all the symptoms of an alcoholic now, but I have not had a drink in over 25 years. My mother had me in Alteens at a very young age so I could understand my father and that helped me understand myself years later. So I know a little about addiction.

I am sure my stories are worse than some, I grew up in a bad part of town, in school we had stabbings regularly and at least one shooting I was around for.(you would think there would have been more shootings, as most of the kids trucks had gun racks and guns... huh.)

But Drugs were the real problem, they were everywhere, they hired a plain clothed officer to patrol inside the school, he was assaulted for days...
The big push came after I was out of school, when the war on drugs got big, and a few years after I was gone, it was cleaning up. Hell we even looked at buying a house across the street from the there.

I do believe that some of the problem is the fact that dope is illegal, I think if it were legal, it would be come a little more common to look at a doper in Pahoa and tell your kids, "yep, that is what happens if you don't take care of yourself" vs "yep, that is what happens if you used drugs". The first promotes responsibility the second promotes fear.
