"PROOF CANNABIS IS A GATEWAY DRUG, CANNABIS CAN MAKE YOUR BRAIN GROW, CANNABIS AFFECTS BABIES IN THE WOMB, CANNABIS CURES CANCER"

Just a few of the headlines cannabis has made since the year 2000, so when it comes to news about cannabis, it can be difficult to be objective at times.

Somewhere in the USA a man is sitting in a prison cell, wasting away. This man lived a normal middle-class American life up until his incarceration. He had paid his taxes and contributed to his community. He'd worked at a decent job. More than likely, he has a family trying to get by without him for the next 10 to 15 years. There is no chance of an early release for this man. What did he do? He was found with a small quantity of marijuana in his possession. He wasn't an addict. He wasn't selling to children. It wasn't any sort of problem in his life or in anyone else's. To this man, a little bit of the bud was no different from a couple of drinks -- even better in many ways.
