It’s truly insane pot hasn’t been legalized federally yet. Living in CO I sometimes forget people are still being locked up for it in other states.
i have a medical card and the penalty for possession is so minimal in philly cops dont really bother people. but yeah, in an age where people are dying from prescription drugs and alcohol every day, its insane people even get fined for smoking pot.

disagree 100%, and i held that view as a pot smoker for 22 years before recently quitting. federal decriminalization is the way to go on this until there's some sort of reliable DUI test available. And that comes from my experience of driving while supremely stoned a lot in my teens and early 20s, without killing someone just from my dumb luck. But obviously any sentences for small-time possession should be overturned.

I feel like people get caught up in this whole “pot smoker” image and forget about the medical benefits of edibles (which don’t even always have THC). I’ve never used any myself but I have seen how hugely it helps my wife with her bipolar disorder and depression and anxiety and pain and all that shit. She found a blend that relieves a ton of issues without getting her “high.” It’s crazy that this is illegal for so many Americans.
