I recently quit smoking cannabis for lent. Before lent I had been an ounce a month smoker.

Quitting was easy. No remorse, no ill effects.

But now I find myself drinking more alcohol (only on weekends) whereas before I would only drink socially on holidays and birthdays.

I feel alcohol (which killed my father and grandfather) is far worse for your health and highly addictive.

When I 17 years old I was arrested for small possession of cannabis and sentenced to 1 years of probation with drug tests...it was during this time that I discovered cocaine, because its out of your system in a couple days as opposed to cannabis which takes weeks.

I think our system is completely backwards and the prohibition against cannabis is far worse than the plant itself.

I support states rights on this issue.
