The Seattle Times has an opinion piece of the state of Marijuana laws, so, can we talk?

So, can we talk?

I think we should. As a nation, we spend at least $7.5 billion annually enforcing our marijuana laws. In 2006, the latest year for which we have numbers, a record 830,000 Americans were arrested for marijuana — 89 percent of them simply for possessing it.

Our criminal-justice system wastes time and resources with these low-level marijuana-possession cases while half our violent crimes go unsolved. And those facing the judge are disproportionately African American and Latino.

It's a nice read, it brings up some good points, but they've all been brought up before. We need a leader in the U.S. who is ready to decriminalize Marijuana for adults. Stop busting Marijuana users and go get those rapists and meth heads.
