Decriminalization, Legalization of Pot Gaining Momentum Posted on June 13, 2012June 14, 2012 by Cincy Joe By DAVID KLEPPER Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – Catharine Leach is married and has two boys, age 2 and 8. She has a good job with a federal contractor and smokes pot most every day. While she worries that her public support for marijuana decriminalization and legalization could cost her a job or bring the police to her door, the 30-year-old Warwick resident said she was tired of feeling like a criminal for using a drug that she said is far less harmful than the glass or wine or can of beer enjoyed by so many others after a long day’s work. Like others around the nation working to relax penalties for possession of pot, she decided to stop hiding and speak out. CREDIT: FOX 19, AP
