In his May 30 column he spoke of marijuana decriminalization and how it is a waste of time, because marijuana offenders are rarely prosecuted anyway. Well I'm sure people doing hard time in prison amongst violent predators and sociopaths, for simple marijuana possession, would tend to disagree. Smoking marijuana in moderation for recreational purposes should not be a crime. N SPEERS Sun Editor's Note: (The tide appears to be turning toward decriminalization.) - --- MAP posted-by: manny j lovitto
