jc96........You may be too young to know about Lenny Bruce......maybe not.
One of his best lines was...and I paraphrase..

Two guys in prison.....one says to the other...what are you here for ??

Says...I'm here for drug dealing....started on weed....moved on to harder stuff...and then had to start selling to support my habit.....  He asks...in return.....what about you?

Gamblng and Murder....killed a couple of guys in a crooked crap game....he says
How did that get started....asks other guy
Well.....It started when I was a kid playing bingo in the basement of the local Church .......

Hope you see the stupidity of present drug laws.......and past liquor laws  !! One is responsible for their own actions......NOBODY WENT TO JAIL FOR HAVING A DRINK......NOBODY SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA.....
Over ninety per cent of cases that go to Court ...are for possession...(not dealing ..or producing)...and over half are thrown out...and only a small number result in a 
conviction
