    I’m am Republican in nature. So this might come as a surprise but I even i will say you have to just legalize pot it’s unhuman to incarcerate people for selling/smoking a piece of grass. From my research Marijuana is not physologically Addictive you do not have withdrawals it is not ruining families. But the biggest part I’m an advocate of freedom for the individual if people want to smoke grass that’s their progrative. Our elected officials need to be bipartisan and just legalize this so you can stop destroying lives.
