A Common Sense Approach

Attached a link to an article titled "UM offers community service program for students facing minor pot charges" describing a University Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Program (U-LEAD), a first in Florida, which offers young first-time offenders facing misdemeanor marijuana possession charges an opportunity to avoid criminal charges. Personally, I fully support the decriminalization of marijuana possession which differs from legalization of marijuana as a drug. Its about time that we start focusing on addiction treatment and stop warehousing non-violent offenders in already overcrowded jails. Yours Bernd
