Re: Mavs player Josh Howard 'I have and do partake in smoking weed'

I said my piece on this in chat last night, but I'll repeat this here.

Marijuana criminalization is a joke that most of society laughs at when the go to the movies and watch modern comedies.

I think Howard was reckless, but also brave for coming out on this. It's people having the courage to stand up and be honest, that push the boundaries. It costs $25,000 a year to incarcerate someone arrested for non-violent drug use. There are 100's of thousands of people in jail for this. The social cost of fighting a substance that is less harmful than alcohol is staggering. And wrong in my opinion.
