Effort to propose decriminalizing marijuana has unusual impact

[matt819]

Take a look at this. College student writes a letter to his legislator regarding possible legislation to decriminalize marijuana. Did the legislator overreact? Judge for yourselves.

2. What is it with that legislator?

Just because someone is in favor of legalizing marijuana, industrial hemp, or medical marijuana, why jump to the immediate conclusion they are pot heads? I've never smoked or eaten the stuff in my life, yet I've been for legalization since I was 16 years old and had to debate the subject. I did research on it then, found the government's position faulty, and haven't seen anything since to change my mind. And yes, I'll be glad to take a hair follical test to prove I don't indulge.
