• Should we decriminalize marijuana? (Decriminalizing means to take a criminal penalty away from possession. So in other words, if you were to get caught with marijuana, it would only be an infraction. This is on the same level as a traffic ticket. Some think decriminalizing marijuana helps satisfy those who argue we're ruining the future of young people who are caught with a "joint" by taking them to jail and giving them a criminal record.)
