Pot-luck possessions
In recent years, the decriminalization of marijuana has generated widespread support, and states have begun to use this policy to balance \nbudgets and allocate resources. Thirteen states have already decriminalized possession of marijuana, and several others are currently considering this policy. You may be asking: Why have so many states already adopted this legislation? Del. Harvey Morgan (R-Gloucester) has publicly supported decriminalization because current laws "place a huge burden on law enforcement, prisons, and the judicial system." We need more public officials like Morgan in Virginia who put politics aside to focus on sensible and efficient lawmaking. It is in Virginia's best interest to join the growing wave of support for decriminalization and reap the economic and social benefits this policy has to offer.
