Caucus 2.7.12: Legalization of Marijuana

For our next Caucus on Tuesday (2.7.12 from 7:30pm to 9:00pm @ Jade Garden) we will discuss the pro's and con's of legalizing Marijuana, or drugs, in general.  Especially relevant as its legalization will be coming up on the Washington State ballot this November.

We will look to discuss the state's current inclination towards criminalization as opposed to a health issue and rehabilitation, and its implications. Materials:

Pros & Cons, here & here.

Interesting clip of Ron Paul in a recent debate.  How interesting that he would be the one to bring this up in a national debate?
