Comments on: Marijuana Decriminalization Frees Child Molester http://abovetheflat.com/marijuana-decriminalization-frees-child-molester/ Discussing Marijuana Legalization and Marijuana Prohibition Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:01:07 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Josh http://abovetheflat.com/marijuana-decriminalization-frees-child-molester/comment-page-1/#comment-133 Josh Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:01:07 +0000 http://abovetheflat.com/?p=135#comment-133 That is the scary thing. As I talk to more people about this topic, I find that there are three groups. Those that really want it legalized, those that want it to remain illegal and then those that are on the fence. Funny thing about those on the fence; they barely know of this debate. I've been talking to more and more of these people since the inception of this blog, and I feel that they are the best target on which to focus. It seems (so far anyway) that these people are open to both sides of the argument. This side being what it is, they seem to respond positively to the legalization movement. But to your point, if those same 'on-the-fence' people read stuff like the article mentioned in this post, they are likely to fall in line with it. It makes me wonder about myself. How many decisions do I make in my day-to-day life based on faulty logic or misinformation provided to me by people I should trust to give me appropriate knowledge? That is the scary thing.
