Why is it that the "State" is so worried about marijuana? What about alchol. What about Meth? What about Cocaine? I have spent the last 3 years managing a "headshop" and have come to learn that marijuana is not the main drug of choice by Alaskan's. A large percent of Alaskan's are marijuana users, but a majority of "abusers" are cocaine addicts. And I ahve learned that the most popular past time of younger Alaskan's is combining alchol and cocaine. I have found that here is twice (maybe even three times) as many cocaine users as there is Meth and Marijuana users combined. If the "State" is so worried about drug abuse then maybe they should start with the real problems at hand and leave the rest of US alone. Personal comsumption in our own home is our right given to us by our GOVERMENT. Would you rather us smoke a bowl of weed and be lazy on our couches munching food, or go out to the bar to get drunk and do a couple lines in order to keep from passing out only to be drunk, awake, and looking for something to do (like driving around town stealing cars and lighting them on fire). The more potent the pot is, the lazier the user is, can you say the same for all other drugs? The "State" should use all this money they are wasting on this subject and put it into other issues that need to be addressed such as the current economic depression we are sruggling through right now even though we are supposed to be the richest state in America.
