Politico Urges That Pot Smokers Be Left Alone
Massachusetts Democratic Representative Barney Frank has said the United States should stop arresting responsible marijuana users and has announced a proposal to end federal penalties for Americans carrying fewer than 100 grams (a quarter of a pound) of the popular herb.
Current laws targeting pot users place "undue burdens" on law enforcement agencies, punish sick Americans whose doctors have prescribed the drug and unfairly affect the African-American population, Frank asserts. Frank continued, "The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government’s business. I don’t think it’s the government’s business to tell you how to spend your leisure time."
Frank and his supporters are urging that the use of marijuana (not the Abuse) be decriminalized.
The DEA insists that very few people are ever incarcerated for simple possession of the drug. The DEA and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy have long opposed marijuana legalization.
If you have been charged with a drug offense in Orlando or anywhere in Florida, please contact The Umansky Law Firm today to schedule your confidential consultation.
