Pot will only be legalized when it's possible to vote without leaving your chair.
Seriously though it's insane that you can go to prison for posession in some parts of this country while in other parts of this country it's a civil infraction with a small fine. I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where until 1990 possession of marijuana carried a $5 fine. In 1990 it went up to $25 for a first offense, $50 for the second and $100 for the third.
