Even if you don't think drugs should be legal for adults how can you be okay with such a waste of tax payer money?

Those New York cops must be doing a great job. Soon NO ONE in New York will be smoking pot. Soon everyone in New York will be in jail, where you can get pot without being arrested, because it's not dangerous in jail. It appears though that it IS dangerous outside of jail, or people wouldn't be getting arrested for possessing it. Excuse me, I'm soooo confused. If the cops can't keep pot out of jail, what makes them think that they can keep it out of New York, or any other state for that matter? The laws against possessing marijuan are ABSURD. If you get arrested for posssessing marijuana you can go to jail, where you can possess marijuana because it's not dangerous. Well, you can't legaly possess marijuana in jail, but it appears they can't keep it out of jail, despite intense security. If you are caught with marijuana in jail, they can keep you in jail longer. Just what have they accomplished by this? They can keep those horrible "pot heads" off the streets, thus making the streets safer. SAFER? I have consumed cannabis,(marijuana), for 40yrs. The streets have been safer because I consume cannabis. They were much more dangerous when I drank. If you met me walking on the street you might be put in fear of grievous bodily harm for saying hello. If you were to meet me on the highway you might be put in fear for your life. I MADE THE SAFER CHOICE. Should I be punished for that? I quit drinking in 1968 because I almost took a life. I started consuming cannabis as a responsible adult two weeks later. My decision to make the SAFER choice saved my life, it just may have saved yours to. Boy look at that, 353,000 arrested for marijuana possession. Those New York cops must be doing a great job.
