lower sentences for using crack ?
For myself this article, i disagree with the entire thing. They are reducing the penalties for crack, leaving the same sentence for peyote, and think that marijuana shouldn't be illegal because of the people who have cancer and whatnot. i think that is completely wrong. i understand where marijuana can be used to help the sick, but i think they are forgetting the rest of the population who abuse his drug. I mean if they were to make it illegal they could at least make it so that if someone was to need it such as cancer patients, the doctors could get a written order saying it was okay to be used. And for reducing the jail sentence for crack, whats the difference, crack cocaine and powder cocaine are both still crack. So how does it make sense to lower the sentence to be "even" with the other. cocaine is cocaine, there is none better then or worse then the other. Peyote.. i really have no judgement on that. To me, i don't see why it would be legal only to those who are a certain percent if they are Native American, or its their religion. How is it that peyote can be legal if it is a hallucinogen, just as marijuana is said to put you in a daze or make you see things..

Hey alyak, this is Taylor. I completely understand where your coming from. Although on one part, I don't. Even though this is your opinion. Okay first off your totally right about crack being crack and there shouldn't be reducing penalties for such a crazy, addicting and deadliest drug on the face of the earth. Marijuana is NOT anything like peyote or crack at all. In anyway shape or form. I do understand why their making marijuana legal because it's not like you can die from smoking or even using marijuana. If that was the case they wouldn't perscribe it. For the people who abuse this drug like you said, that's their own choice. Reallly can't do much about it. Along with crack. Reducing the sentence is the most backwards thing I have ever heard. As for peyote, that's the same as crack if you as me. If you can hallucinate off the drug, it's meant to be legal. The thing is you can have reoccurences of hallucinations long after the use of the drug. That's bizzare. But overall alyak I understand what you mean. Not offense to your opinion at all.
