In 2010 the federal government spent $15 billion dollars, state and local governments spent another $25 billion dollars on the failed war drugs. A great deal of those dollars are wasted targeting marijuana to help ignorant people like yourself sleep at night. Here's where we could draw the line: no one should be fired/denied work due to non-work related use of legally allowable substances. You mention if chips and cookies are available, kids will get into them more. Is that why you have such a hard time staying off the junk food? Consider the strain on our economy and overall wellbeing due to obesity. You should lead that charge and turn your life around. I don't care to hear from you on this issue when you are silent when it comes to articles on actual hard drugs. Like the guy busted with a pound of both meth and heroin or the use of Medicaid for opiate addicts. You have no room to talk IQ when you are unable to use the correct homonyms like they're, their & their and your & you're.
