I had some experiences with weed during my teenage years, but lately became more favorable to a tougher stance when it comes to drug-related crimes. I'm absolutely favorable to death penalty for drug dealers, and some drug users such as crackheads who commit crimes either while under influence or in order to finance their addiction. However, I'm not unfavorable to industrial usage of hemp, which includes some eventual replacement of soy-based products with hemp-based ones.
