Who Is Worthy of Receiving a Speech of Tribute?
Question by clerick145: Who is worthy of receiving a speech of tribute?

A few from the “pro-pot” crowd have caught on to this, (after initially thinking it was literally decriminalization), and have since been the main opponents of these “legalization” initiatives after realizing what the refined initiatives actually stated. Other opponents feared that those who read headlines feel this could potentially send mixed messages to kids, as well as conflict with federal laws, as it takes focus off of possession (hence the term “legalization”), but puts more focus on combating usage. Voters have apparently decided to try this new approach by voting on these new initiatives (I-502 and Ammendment 64) which give police more tools and angles to use to combat drug abuse, as well as to fund anti-drug education campaigns to “stop kids from ever using pot in the first place”.
