POT DIDN'T STAND IN THE WAY OF SUCCESS
Many of today's crop of lawyers, judges, law-enforcers, legislators and
criminologists grew up and went to college in the hippie times. (Alas, I was
born too early, in 1920.) We can assume that many of them smoked pot in
their formative years and, since they're apparently successful in life, came
away with a belief in its harmlessness. Any judge with this experience would
feel like a hypocrite if he or she handed out severe sentences.
