The amount of money and of legal energy being given to prosecute hundreds of thousands of Americans who are caught with a few ounces of marijuana (1 ounce = 28g) in their jeans simply makes no sense, the kindest way to put it. A sterner way to put it is that it is an outrage, an imposition on basic civil liberties and on the reasonable expenditure of social energy. - William F. Buckley - Legalization of Marijuana Long Overdue - Albuquerque Journal June 8, 1993
