DEKK, I am sorry to hear about your Father. However, IMO his circumstances were beyond the norm, and I'm sure that most any judge would have tossed out a case against someone in his position. In retrospect, I feel that Marijuana legalization (legitimate medical use aside) is just another step in the seemingly never-ending degradation of society. We now live in a world where pretty much anything you do in the name of self-gratification is accepted, if not encouraged. It bothers me to know that all of the work I invest in raising my children may all be in vain, for some day, they will have to attend public school, play with the neighbors kids, etc, etc. From my perspective, it is human nature to seek acceptance. Because of this, it seems that many people with deviant tendencies/habits are always seeking to make their "vices" legal. The general consensus seems to be "If it's not illegal, it's OK". Well, maybe I'm a person of exceedingly high moral fiber, or maybe I'm just a right-wing conservative, whichever the case, I feel that without laws, which include some restrictions regarding what you can have/use/do/posess, our country would become a very "dirty" place. One in which I personally do not wish to raise a family. I think discretion is a wonderful tool, which should always be utilized, but as for legalization? In my opinion, Legalization=Chaos. Just my opinion.
