    –Francis Young (DEA’s own Judge 1988)

    "Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use…”

    – Jimmy Carter (U.S.President)

    “Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society.”

    – Dan Quayle (U.S. Representative & Vice President)

    "Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could."

    “The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help and suckering well intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents.”

    – William F. Buckley Jr. (American conservative author & commentator)

    "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."

    – Dr. Carl Sagan (American Cosmologist, Astrobilologist, author & science communicator)

    “You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it.” ….when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.

    – Michael Bloomberg (New York City Mayor)

    "Studies have consistently failed to establish the existence of a link between the harshness of a country’s drug laws and its levels of drug use."

    – Kofi Annan (U.N. Secretary General)

    "Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I'll prove it to you. You're at a ball game or a concert, and someone's really violent and aggressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?"

    “Why is pot against the law? It wouldn't be because anyone can grow it, and therefore you can't make a profit off it, would it?”

    “…It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?”

    -Bill Hicks (Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian)

    "If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."

    – Terence McKenna (American ethnobotanist, author, advocate for responsible use of natural psychedelic plants)

  3. This is why there's an age limit to buy pot like come on you're still trying to make it seem bad over the news. it is not marijuana's fault that young kids under the age of 21 are smoking it. The news really hates marijuana always making it look bad

  4. How are you able to get accurate data on how many people used black market cannabis in the past before it became legal in many states? I still know many who still use black market over dispensary because of the taxes and cost. I don't think this is accurate research when no one tracked the sales like they can in dispensaries.

  5. again these "numbers" are skewed….how are they going to compare those statistics from when weed was illegal and hard to come by where as now its legal is a lot more places….also not to mention the population is obviously a lot more now than the 80s

  6. marijuana is good for your soul
    doesn't make people violent, doesn't make them homeless
    All other drugs are basically poison except microdoses of L or Dmt
    Fentanyl (which democrats are helping pass through our border) is literally killing our country…. its the #1 killer of people 18-45
