Drug prohibition is expensive, counterproductive, and contrary to American values regarding individual liberty. In other words, this bill is stupid and tyrannical. Rep. Sheltrown should devote his time to something productive, like withdrawing Michigan from the Uniform Narcotics Act and legalizing marijuana so we can save some money in enforcement/incarceration expenses and generate income tax revenue from marijuana-related commercial activity.
