New Approach to Marijuana Legalization Needed [View All]

[Bullet1987]

It's become clear that there needs to be a new approach to fighting against prohibition because the medical argument (the main argument used for Prop 19) isn't enough. Comparing it to alcohol, while great at showing the double-standard, should not be the major argument for its legalization because many people think alcohol use has gone overboard in this country anyway. The criminal justice argument should be front and center as it's the most blatantly indefensible. Legalization proponents now need to make the argument that marijuana use is a personal right. We have to take this battle directly to the government and challenge them on their prison infrastructure. It would also help if a documentary were made on a national level (not on Youtube) that got the truth out to more people. As good as a documentary like The Union is...how many people have even seen it much less even heard of it? We need to continue to hammer our message.
