NYC spends $75 million a year arresting predominantly black males for marijuana use. This is all insane….a crime against society. It merits emphasis that when the first Obama Administration came into power on a web of deception (hope we can believe in) they went through the motion of Open Government and attracted 4,000 activists to an “open” agenda setting exercise.  The legalization of marijuana was NUMBER ONE as the capital demand by intelligent ethical people desiring to make one small change that would reduce the prison population, reduce the hostility between well-intentioned police and citizens, increase local and state revenue, and stop government interference with a recreational activity that is in no way harmful to society or to individuals.
