You actually almost bring us right into jury immunity.

As a culture, we stopped prosecuting on those crimes as, as you say, what were they thinking?

The jury stopped convicting and we have that opportunity here.

Jury immunity means that if you

have a cannabis case in court you can choose to not convict and nothing bad will happen to you as a juror so we can stop convicting on these cannabis crimes if that happens they're going to stop bringing them to court because prosecutors don't like to lose so we as a society have that civil ability and responsibility to stop convicting on these crimes if we don't feel people should go to jail for it anymore

That's a lie.

That's a blatant lie.

I think that's one of the issues that we're miseducating our youth.

And when they walk in and we have all these horror stories about what pot's going to do to you and nothing bad happens, why should they believe us when we talk about methamphetamines or cocaine?

Excluding myself.

87% of their budget is currently spent on cannabis crimes.

So if we take cannabis out of their mix, what are we spending all this money on?

Part of the issue is media, too, and their reporting, because if you actually look at the amount of deaths that are reported, maybe very few alcohol deaths are ever reported on the news.

Right.

But one out of two heroin or ecstasy deaths are reported.

So even though we only have 26, more than half of them are reported.

So it seems like a bigger issue than it is.

And I'll point out that no cannabis deaths are ever reported because cannabis doesn't kill and cannabis is safer.

So we have that opportunity now to shift.

Well, the other issue is we're pushing our kids into a hard drug market.
