Sanity From Seth

There were some wonderful moments from our president today, which I just don't have time to write about tonight. But I just had to pass on this video, which I saw on the Political Carnival today. This opinion piece speaks to the recent admission by Michael Phelps that, yes, he had smoked pot last fall at a party.



It is high time (no pun intended) for this country to enact sensible laws when it comes to marijuana usage. The results have long been in that tobacco and alcohol are fast more dangerous to one's personal health, and the public, than marijuana. Prohibition did not work when it came to alcohol, and it has not worked with marijuana usage. Let us end the senseless "drug war" and put those resources towards more important issues.
