Question

Did Jimmy Carter try to legalize marijuana?

Answer 1

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana 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 of marihuana."

- Jimmy Carter

 

Gotta wonder what happened.  Research INCB they might have put a stick in the gears of getting s**t done.
