Umm, I think that is the whole premise of this thread. The real question is, should people go to jail for using or possession of pot? I'm in the camp that thinks we need to sharply increase the consequences of a DUI, any DUI, including even prescribed drugs that warn of impairment, pot (if it can be proved that they're actually "under the influence" and not just in the system from a few days ago), painkillers, etc., whereby the first conviction is $5,000 and a mandatory 3 months in jail. No passing go, no community service and no exceptions.
Well they could always send them to pot rehab.

oh wait...

there's no such thing.

Why's that? Maybe because - there's no need for it.
