Legalization_Of_Marijuana

Legalization Of Marijuana One day about eight years ago, Judge James P. Gray held a press conference on the steps of the Santa Ana courthouse where he served and still serves as a California superior-court trial judge. He spoke out that day against U.S. drug policy, referring to the war on drugs as "our biggest failure" and calling for the legalization of marijuana. Many in his community, from the sheriff to the deputy district attorney expressed outrage. Some questioned the judge's integrity, and Gray admitted that his speaking out would probably keep him from being considered for future judicial positions. But he had seen too much; he felt compelled to take a stand. Judge James P. Gray is only one of the many citizens of the United States that believes Americas “War On Marijuana” is a loosing battle that is both immoral and dangerous. Those who favor the criminalization of marijuana have been telling the public the same story for over 60 years of prohibition. Marijuana is harmful and a gateway to every other substance known to man.
