To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Petition to decriminalize use of marijuana.
Let's stop putting people in jail for being patients. Most of us, including the president at some point have smoked marijuana. And most know that alcohol causes many more problems, such as DUI deaths ect.. What I don't understand is why something that harms noone is illegal. Please step to the plate and do what is right.
Why is this important?
It's absolutly amazing to me that in a country riddled with so much political and social injustice, that a person can be arrested for smoking marijuana. While men and women fill our prisons and jails for possesion and use of marijuana. Washington continues to rip us off. And deny us the right to smoke a joint. The laws that prohibit this are older than all of us. Many people have been arrested for this non violent act. Medical marijuana has passed in 17 states to this point, but every patient who uses, posseses or cultivates is subjet to fedral prosecution. Do we really have the money in this country to continue to put people, who are hurting noone in jail. If you want to solve the defficet why not start by leaving people who smoke weed alone, and stop turning them into criminals.
