"It's just the stupidest law possible... You're just making criminals out of people who aren't engaged in criminal activity. And we're spending zillions of dollars trying to fight a war we can't win! We could make zillions, just legalize it and tax it like we do liquor. It's stupid."

"I support Proposition 19 (to legalize marijuana) because it controls cannabis like alcohol, making it harder for minors to get marijuana. Proposition 19 will also allow police to focus on more violent crimes and generate billions in revenue to fund vital services in California."

"If you make it legal it becomes like liquor. Like at a liquor store you have to be a certain age to get it, you have to have ID when you go in, you have the different kinds. And it will be utilized and taxed the same way that they do liquor. They'll make money. It's the same that they do with cigarettes."

law which did not distinguish between industrial hemp and marijuana"

"I do smoke, but I don't go through all this trouble just because I want to make my drug of choice legal. It's about personal freedom. We should have the right in this country to do what we want, if we don't hurt anybody. Seventy-two million people in this country have smoked pot. Eighteen to 20 million in the last year. These people should not be treated as criminals."

"There are probably 400 people getting murdered at this second, and these two cops are taking an hour to write up my court summons for smoking a joint... That just seemed so...ridiculous to me."

"It's unfortunate, I think, that drugs were not handled properly. Politically, they've been used to separate the economic classes. Thankfully, it's all getting fixed now with the marijuana laws."

"To me, marijuana is no different than wine. It's a drug of choice. It's meant to alter your current state - and that's not a bad thing. It's ridiculous that marijuana is still illegal. We're still fighting for it... It comes down to individual decision-making. There are millions of people who smoke pot on a social basis and don't become criminals. So stop with that argument - it doesn't work."

Annotation :

"Well that’s a large question, isn’t it? Because you’re talking about recreation, which everyone is in favor of.
You are also talking about something that has been illegal for so many years, and marijuana is responsible for such a large part of the prison population,
for the crime of self-medication. And it takes millions and billions of dollars by incarcerating people for this crime against oneself as best can be determined."

"Marijuana is responsible for such a large part of the prison population, for the crime of self-medication. And it takes millions and billions of dollars by incarcerating people for this crime against oneself... People are realizing that the war on drugs is a failure, that the amount of money spent, you could have bought all the drugs with that much money rather than create this army of people and incarcerated people."

"We have spent a trillion dollars. It's lasted for over 40 years. A lot of people have lost their lives for it... It's an incredible failure... The drug war is actually being used to hold a portion of our society down... It's criminal in itself... The only way to end the war on drugs is to take the profit out of it... We have to look at the what-if-everything-was-legal and people were allowed to make their own choices... If you decriminalize, then they could control the quality... And I would propose you would have fewer deaths."

"The whole notion that marijuana is illegal is past the point of ridiculousness... To be honest, I'm not really much of a pot smoker... But I've always been an advocate. I just feel it should be decriminalized."

"We're trying to get a lot of money for health and education and I'm wondering...you look at these gangs, and I look back at Prohibition. When we didn't allow alcohol, what did we have ? We had gangs. We had big gangs. It's something that needs to be discussed a little more. It's an economic issue and a violence issue."

"I think that marijuana grows in the ground and helps many people in need... Why not control it and have the government tax it and use that money for good things ?"

"Arresting people, or ruining people's lives for a small, nonviolent charge, like marijuana, drug addiction, or mental illness, is not the way to go. Those are health issues, not criminal issues. It's the grace of God that I wasn't imprisoned for my antics growing up."

"The illicit drug market funds terrorism and this is a huge problem in America fuels the foreign gangs. More than 85 percent of men incarcerated in America are on drug-related offenses. It costs $40,000 a year for every prisoner. If they were really serious about the economy there would be a sensible discussion about legalization."

"People can go to jail for pot possession and it can...ruin their lives, and then you have the BP spill or you have companies that basically cause the collapse of the economic system and devastated...countless people's lives and aren't being held accountable... How could you not look at that and be like, What's going on ?"

"I'm all for legalization. I think people are going to smoke pot anyway, and the idea that people are in jail for smoking pot and dealing pot is reprehensible to me personally. I think you could make a lot of money as a government by treating them like cigarettes and getting your taxes off of them and building roads and taking care of the people that need to be taken care of. I think it's a great idea. I don't think it would lead to any more use. Everybody I know, if they want to, has smoked pot. The fact that it's illegal doesn't stop anybody I know, so why not allow everybody to benefit from it? It would be billions of dollars of tax revenue."

"You know what I'd do if I were king? I would legalize all drugs... And I don't think it would be as big a problem. Plus you wouldn't have people selling drugs on the street ; they'd be in the drugstore."

"There's too many people in prison for breaking laws that shouldn't exist. We shouldn't be overcrowding prisons because of marijuana. Possession of marijuana should not put you in prison. And I think states are slowly waking up to that... We've seen in a few states that they've legalized it for recreational use. I think there's an opportunity to really transform the way people view drug policy."

"We are prepared to go to work on season six of 'The Wire' if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanizing drug prohibition...[The U.S. government's war on drugs] is nothing more or less than a war on our underclass, succeeding only in transforming our democracy into the jailingest nation on the planet.”
