MOST AMENDMENTS UNWORTHY

YES to Amendment 44: Marijuana possession. This is a proposed
amendment not to the Constitution but to state statutes that would
legalize possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana for people 21 and
older. All arguments for or against this amendment are superfluous
when considering the fact that alcohol - a statistically much more
dangerous substance - is legal while marijuana is not. Cops should
spend their time doing other things besides hassling people in
possession of such a relatively benign substance. This will not change
federal law or how federal law enforcement agencies view marijuana
possession. But it eliminates a nominal fine and sends a message about
what should be this nation's priorities.
