Ok, sure take away the right to vote from all murderers. But what happens when you are convicted of a suspect felony like marijuano posession? You have a law that makes it a felony to do what probably the majority of people have done. This law is enforced much more strictly on a certain group of the population than others. Now everyone who has been persecuted by the law has no recourse to change it. These are substantial numbers of people now. It seems like a pretty good way to stay in power, convict all your opposers of felonies by making laws that you can enfrorce on them. It leads down a bad road, if you ask me.

Do you know how much marijuana you have to have in your possession to get charged with felony marijuna possession? Its not like you're using it for recreational purposes at that point. You are traffiking. I think that if you traffik you are not contributing to society and are actually working toward its downfall. To me, you forfeit your vote. Simple solution, don't traffik.
