mile HIGH city

Denver has legalized marijuana, sorta, the city passed an ordinance saying that it is legal for a person over the age of 18 to posess under one ounce of marijuana. It is mostly a symbolic act because state law over rides it and it is still illegal in Colorado. I suppose its up to the cop then to an extent as to which law to enforce. This is still a major step in the right direction of more sensible drug laws. There is no logical argument that can be made as to why alcohol is legal and marijuana is not. Hell theres even a passage in the bible that can be used to say that god condones using marijuana, it something to the effect of "and I give unto you all the fruit bearing plants in the forest" and that would include marijuana. I knew stoners that were big fans of that passage. You could ask the inteligent design folks about that, its to strange a coincidence that this plant, and others, have such interesting effects on humans, there must have been a "higher" power involved. Im not sure that all drugs should be legal, that may cause more problems than it solves but law enforcment needs to look at the causes of drug abuse and treatment more than simple punishment. And seriously how can you really be all that against marijuana? If you've ever been stoned or been around people who are, its not a dangerous drug. The happy giggling lazy hungry people really aren't that great a risk to society, are they? Treat it like alcohol illegal to drive under the influence and they would have to find a way to gauge how high one is, similar to a breathalizer. These are not unreasonable requests. Way to go Denver.
