Ron: I'm wondering what you view as significantly higher priority? Millions of people are in jail for weed, and in many cases that results in broken families (which increase the likelyhood of the children becoming criminals), a guy who's only "crime" is smoking a plant becoming a hardened violent criinal in order to survive jail, massive state local and federal $ being wasted, jail overcrowding resulting in actual criminals getting early release etc... I could go on, but the cost to society both in dollars spent, famiies destroyed, and police powers expanded has been enormous.
