GENERALLY SPEAKING

• I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT INTO THE 'REEFER MADNESS' THAT MANY ON THE POLITICAL RIGHT AND LEFT TOOK FOR GRANTED.  I NEVER HAD INTEREST IN POT, BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT IT SHOULD BE LEGAL FOR ADULTS (21+), AND REASONABLY TAXED AND REGULATED MORE LIKE BOOZE.

• I GENERALLY SUPPORT THE LEGALIZATION AND REGULATION EFFORTS GOING ON AT THE STATE LEVEL.  AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, RECLASSIYING POT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.   I AM NOT SURE THAT THE NATION IS READY FOR A COMPLETLY, FEDERALIZED LEGALIZATION POLICY.

• I HELPED TO START A CAMPUS CHAPTER OF NORML BACK IN MY STUDENT DAYS, AND THE OLDER I GET AND THE MORE ACADEMIC RESEARCH I DO ON POT, THE MORE CONVICED I AM THAT THE POT PROHIBITON IS A MISTAKE.
