Barney Frank to author federal marijuana decrim bill

celebstoner.com — Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank told Bill Maher on "Real Time" that he plans to "file a bill as soon as we go back to remove all penalties for small amounts of marijuana." Frank added: "It's time for the politicians on this one to catch up to the public. The notion that you lock people up for smoking marijuana is pretty silly."

    I think if it was put to a nation wide vote, to remove criminal penalties for something as simple and harmless as Marijuana, The public would vote to decriminalize.

    Although true legalization might be a little farther off, It would actually end up being the better choice.
