Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself, where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use. Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. - Jimmy Carter, U.S. President - Jamie contestant 2011 Miss Medical Marijuana
