Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce [28g] of marijuana. Jimmy Carter
Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride-- where these is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation. Jane Austen
