Federal laws criminalizing possession of marijuana, personal growth of marijuana, and small distribution of marijuana (not for profit), should be abolished.
The current policy targets those in the lowest income brackets, a demographic that cannot afford these prosecutions.
The laws encourage criminal activity, by ensuring that personal use be supplied by those that actively shun the law, rather than by personal growth of marijuana.
Marijuana is an American industry, a cottage industry, that should not have to compete with foreign criminal organizations because of American laws.
Current policy has done little or nothing to ebb the flow of Marijuana.
Our laws should be reconsidered when the intent of the law is proved ineffective.
