- I do NOT think that possession of weed should be a criminal act. Nor do I believe that possessing it or being high in public (unless operating machinery or doing something dangerous) should be punishable at all.

- I DO believe consuming it or selling it in public spaces should be punishable by heavy fines for both the user and the business allowing it. Unless it's in a private space or club. So, Wes Mantooth, feel free to toke up when you're at your local swingers dive looking to happen into a "situation".

- I DO think that people should be allowed to grow or have it for personal use and in small quantities. No farmers cultivating fields of the stuff.

- I do NOT think that stores or business should be selling it to the general public.

- I do NOT believe people should be allowed to grow or cultivate it for a home based business or for sale or distribution outside of their property. So, like, no ADVOCARE for the hippie lettuce.

Why would you want it like that? The government wouldn't get any taxes from it's sales.

Why wouldn't you be able to open a shop if you are saying you don't care if people sell it in a private space? What difference does it make if someone sells it out of their basement and someone sells it in a store?

You're basically allowing it to be legal except that the general population wouldn't get any kind of benefit from it from taxes.

That stance makes 0 sense
