Using marijuana for fun and relaxation or to aid healing for a medical condition is an issue as private as the decision whether to drink alcohol. It’s nobody’s business but your own. Marijuana use only gets fraught with complication when someone under the influence drives a car, operates heavy machinery or engages in every day activity that requires good judgment, rapid reflexes and clear thinking. Canna-use is a problem when a stoner is not exercising reasonable care and someone gets hurt.

In Washington, Oregon and Colorado, the sale and possession of marijuana is legal. Most other states have varying degrees of decriminalization for both recreational or medical marijuana. Only a few states are holdouts to a bygone era and predictably they are the politically most conservative, the red states. Two states have criminal sanctions for repeat offenders. Caught possessing marijuana more than once in Wisconsin and Iowa, and you’re likely to be charged with a felony and serve time in prison.
