[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 26 pages we're still stuck on some people think other people should go to jail because they don't like the smell of pot. [/quote]

No. Some of us are just asking that people smoke in their homes and not out in public while acting like a strung-out fool. I didn't vote for pot to be legal but not because I want people to go to jail. I don't care what you do at home. Or let's open up hash bars like they have in Europe. I'm all for that. But it is out of control how commonplace it has become and how the entire city smells like shit all the time. [/quote]

A vote against legalization is a vote for keeping it illegal, which means sending people to jail (Or at least subjecting them to the criminal justice system).

Do you feel there is something inherent about pot that it can't be regulated any other way than through criminalization? There are lots of nuisances in the big city -- noise, lights, trash. But we treat them as civil matters, we fine people. Why should the person who smokes pot in public be treated more harshly than the illegal dumper?[/quote]
