    There’s a lot of people currently in jail for longer just because they possessed the leaves of a plant.

        True, murder and marijuana possession are equal crimes and can be compared.

        Owning marijuana leaves causes just as much harm as owning oregano.

          While I absolutely don’t agree with atzanteol, this statement is also utterly ridiculous. You own both marijuana and oregano with the intention of consumption. One of them is addictive, can cause psychosis, and can destroy lives.

          All drugs should be decriminalized. So should weed. Maybe it even should be legal. But let’s try to not repeat the same mistakes we did with alcohol. Nowadays I think most people would agree that alcohol can be consumed in moderation, but its overall effect on public health is devastating and alcoholism is a real problem that affects way too many people, also people you wouldn’t think of. Science revised its guidelines of claiming a little drink a day is fine or even healthy to the best choice is no drink at all.

          Its dangers were downplayed for so, so long. And now that we are legalizing weed I see the exact same sentiments about it that alcohol used to have. Marijuana is not an innocent, harmless substance. It can easily be abused and cause damage to individual lives, families, and friends.

              I am making the argument for both, that is exactly the point I am making. I see too many people demonising alcohol and calling marijuana not dangerous in the same sentence, comparing it to oregano. Both substances are dangerous. And of course marijuana is addictive, what are you talking about? You can absolutely become both physically and mentally addicted to it. You can develop a tolerance, and you can trigger psychosis in predisposed younger people. I’ve seen all three cases in university and it wasn’t pretty.

              Again, I am not advocating for the criminalisation of possession or consumption. I am only advocating for not downplaying that mj is a drug. Right now, the narrative parallels that “a glass of wine or two won’t hurt”, “let’s have a beer with friends”, “let’s get the champagne to celebrate”, “alcohol is fine at social events” that we used to hear some decades ago about alcohol. It didn’t end well. Why are we doing this again with weed now?

                  I 100% agree with everything you said. I am very much pro legalisation of weed and decriminalization of all drugs. Unless you are cooking up tons and tons of fentanyl you shouldn’t be in jail.

                  To me, education and awareness includes not equating marijuana and oregano.

      Keep in mind that 1) he gets time served from the time he spent in jail, 2) if he’s a good boy he’ll do 85% of his time, 3) he could get into the RDAP program and get a year off. Not a bad deal.

    We need to do more for people with weaker crimes and unfair sentences. We should audit everyone’s sentences routinely and shut down for profits.

    And 40 percent of incarcerated shouldn’t be in prison. They need mental help.

        Ugh there’s nothing to do so those guys just think about getting high all the time and stay up till 4 am getting high in prison. They practically condone it. Hopping everyone up on pills. You get extra ice cream if you take pills.
