Marijuana eradacation program against health

Was there not a news segment very recently about prisoners doing time for meth and cocaine being released 27 months early? This was decided by the Supreme court.

I mention this, because it seems to me that marijuana is a lesser crime, yet there seems to be a large cost expended and more attention with this issue than the other mentioned above. At least, locally, agreed?

CAMP has been in existence for nearly 20 years, I believe. In all the reports we read in the paper, or hear on the TV has only shown numbers of plants and estimated value. As with the currect article publish in the Times-Standard today.

I bring this view up, because in many views the legalization of marijuana for medical use by the Federal Government should be done, as it already is within 11 States, I believe. It may even be thought to be rightfully just as legal as alcohol is and treated as such.

If CAMP was so important to the eradication and prevention program, why do they not demonstrate in the articles the effects on society, socially as well as medically? It seems this would provide a stronger case against marijuana if it was for anything else but to harrass the public.
