While lots of people are partaking in their smoke we go another year with political prisoners (no party to blame, both parties don't want to lose the Big Pharma money by legalizing Cannabis) being held just for only having a small stash for personal recreational use. Most of these are people of color, which is why the law was created in the first place.
History.com has an excellent article on why Marijuana became illegal. Some law enforcement officers have the common sense to ignore people holding small amounts and some areas have laws allowing small amounts to be held. But our jails are way too overcrowded and in 12 states as of today, they wouldn't be in jail because of the legalization of pot.
I get medical benefits from Cannabis, just with the Cannabidiol extract without the THC. Good pain relief from a topical cream.
Just don't drive stoned.
