Are drug laws really fair?

I stumbled on this article from the Tribune Review in Pittsburgh. I can't beleive people would be put in jail for selling paraphenalia.

www.cannabisnews.com...

As much as I dislike the ACLU, this is a case where they should get involved in and take it all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary, to nail the DEA. The DEA should be held responsible for compensatory damages also.

I agree can you beleive these people will go to jail longer than murderers and rapists?

The sad thing is, drugs were not even involved. Only "paraphenalia!"

Yea, In my opinion marijuana is on par with alcohol and cigarettes. I don't see how the government can justify selling cigarettes and alcohol and penalizing for smoking marijuana.

Alcohol and tobacco cause severe health problems. But even that isn't the biggest problem, IMO. I can support decriminalizing marijuana use. The problems and costs incurred by persecuting mj use are staggering and a waste.

Don't know how far I'd go as far as supporting all drug use, tho. It's a tough one.

I am not a big fan of the misinformation the anti-drug/marijuana ads promote. I rarely if ever have seen anti-alcohol or anti-cigarette ads. I guess after the government got all the money out of the cigarette companies they decided to leave them alone. It takes a responsible person to drink and smoke.
