So. Cal
Being black and being libertarian are kind of incongruous. You'd most likely be pretty lonely.



I'm not 100% sold on legalization but decriminalizing definitely
.
Okay I'm obviously missing something. Can you please explain what's the difference?

All?

No.

Dudes would be dropping like it was the early 80s again.


There's an opioid epidemic in America right now, more people died from opioid overdoses in 2015 than any previous year on record. Legal or not people are going to get their drugs.

Basically, decriminalization doesn't make it legal but it removes the criminality of it. The most common analogy being that having it would be treating it like a traffic violation if caught with certain small amounts.

Legalization would turn whatever substance is illegal into something like alcohol.

And to be clear, I'm 100% for the legalization of marijuana. Here in DC it's legal, albeit in a roundabout and kind of bullshyt way, but it's pretty much the same as it was.

At the very least, marijuana shouldn't be a schedule 1 drug which classes it the same as heroin.
