If Alcohol is legal and socially acceptable(even thought it destroys lives daily) then cannabis should be 100% legal since its 10,000x less harmful and has legitimate medically benefits..

Randy Kerr

Because it is a harmless herb.

Teresa Parsons

Alcohol Kills, Pot doesn't.

We have been having this debate for over 25 years. Enough already. Decriminalize marijuana!!!!!!!

Lara Michelle

Tax revenue, lower cost on criminal justice, and a huge hit to illegal drug traffickers. What's not to like?

Corky O.G.

Because people do it anyways Let's get taxes from it..

Decriminalizing marijuana is dangerous and could create a public health risk. It could even be a gateway to decriminalizing other drugs!

It kills brain cells

Felix Pressler

It's OK for medical purposes,but not for general use for several reasons: effect on children, especially edibles, driving dangers or way use of equipment, no way to measure impaired judgment etc. etc

We've known for decades that MJ leads to other drugs. Why make it easier to do that. I am all for Medical MJ but not recreational. I have seen too many stupid things done by people when high on it.

No good can come from legalizing a mind altering drug.

Lara Michelle

Like alcohol, cigarettes, or coffee. No one likes those mind altering drugs either...

there are already enough things to watch out for at CRR... wildlife, bikes, pedestrians, etc ...and not a sidewalk anywhere... would prefer not to see the result of an ATV vs. auto/truck...

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
