I always found this kind of infuriating...a guy beats a dog and leaves it outside to starve and die. He gets a $500 fine.

Another guy gets found with a baggie of pot in his pocket-he's in jail for 1-5 years.

I really don't understand it..if you wanna mess yourself up, it should be legal to do so.

I understand that maybe heroin, acid, crack, etc should be illegal, as those are pretty bad when you get into it. But c'mon, pot and taking 'prescription drugs' and stuff..just leave those people alone. If it was legal it would probably boost the economy. Marijuana is less damaging and (sometimes) less intoxicating than alcohol.
