I disagree with govern best govern least, as a fundamental principle.
I do think that week should be decriminalized -I'm in WA state- even though I despise the stench, LOL. It has nothing to do with what I think about weed, but rather that I don't think that people's lives should be curtailed over weed, especially since the punishments were not handed out in an equitable manner.
And I totally think it should be on a federal level, not state. Just because you live in SC should not leave you with a criminal record because you happened to have a few ounces or whatever, there should be a continuity in criminal law over the country.
The fundamental thing for me is that people's ability to participate in society in a full, productive manner should not be curtailed because of where they live. That means access to birth control and abortion, for example, and not having your life derailed because of a marijuana conviction.
