I did read the whole thing, but I still disagree. If we do that how does it make us any different from them? Is extreme cruelty justifiable just because it's the state that's doing it?

I would be against legalizing if i could vote, there is enough legal shit we can be addicted to

That was pretty much the only reason to criminalize it again in the Netherlands. People complaining about drug tourism in Amsterdam and the border towns. I left in '02, haven't followed what became of it, yet the struggle was definitely there. Always pressure from other countries to conform, and residents in border towns wanting to get rid of people coming accross the border to get stoned.

Just checked, the weed pass has indeed become a thing in certain provinces. Only available to residents. However Amsterdam still sells to tourists. Now business in border towns are complaining that they're losing customers and illegal drug dealers are a thing again in border towns...

Yes, of course. It's not a really invasive drug, if it's consumed in the right dose. Just the same as alcohol. I'd say it's even way less dangerous than alcohol, since it doesn't make people violent anid its addiction is never lethal. And each one does with his body what he wants, it'd prevent black market too.

I'm not Daredevil. I'm Punisher. I don't care about "being no better than them", I care more about punishment to match the crime.If they don't like a life of servitude after killing several people, then they can choose the death penalty instead.

I was raised to think pot was this horrible thing on par with opioids. Odd thing is those can be acquired legally and ruin lives while every pot smoker I know leads a normal life. Even alcohol has been more destructive to lives than marijuana. Never heard of a marijuana overdose.
I think legalization is inevitable in next twenty years as demographics and attitudes shift.

Federally yes. They have no authority over this issue.

State level below, No.

But each state should decide that for themselves.

I don't really like that idea personally. 

Imagine for a moment this was applied to alcohol and you buy a case of beer in California, then cross into Arizona where lets say it's illegal. So now you can be arrested for having beer there? 

It's just stupid. 

Eventually marijuana will be legal, it's just a matter of time now. Once it was legal in even one of the mainland states it was eventually going to be legalized everywhere. 

I teach in a school where you smell marijuana frequently (kids smoke it a ton here or at home then come here smelling like it). The kids that smoke it have no concern for their education; they don't care about advancing themselves at all or helping out society, not to mention the smell gives me a huge headache while I'm trying to teach a bunch of teenagers that already given me massive headaches with their attitude problems.

You do realize that there are people that are falsely convicted, right?
