The only things the WOD has accomplished is shredding the Fourth Amendment & making a lot of criminals rich.

Rich criminals? I assume you mean the drug cartels. Yesss, they are very rich. Do you also want them to become successful US business corporations too? The next Anheuser Busch and Jim Beam?

I didn't think so.

If this is a war, what exactly is the exit strategy?

Winning by not surrendering. Yes, there will be casualties. There will be the occasional no-knock raid gone bad. But the alternative to surrendering in the WOT or the WOD is unthinkable.

"Do you also want them to become successful US business corporations too? The next Anheuser Busch and Jim Beam?"

Absolutely I do. You make perfect examples of companies turning ligament working for society rather then against it.

You and I will not buy their product and that is exactly how it should be. Capitalism I love it

Now go away socialist. I'm serious why are you trolling here?

Not exactly sure this is an accurate analogy. The drug cartel employs A LOT of muscle; greed and corruption are abundant - thus, an almost obscene amount of profit is demanded to remain fiscally viable. Those bodyguards, automatic weapons, defending your produduction, enforcing your "territory" and killing your competition - are all expensive operations.

Once legalized, a plant that is little more than a weed, has very little profit built into it. It requires minimal talent to grow, and the business model will not tolerate the profitability it enjoys now. Bottom line: The economic market of marijuana will collapse, quickly and almost immediately upon legalization.

Alaska had legalized pot for years; yet the horrors you imagine did not occur. Why?

For many, it's a principle of small goverment that is tantamount. I don't smoke, never did smoke and very likely never will smoke. Why? I'm an engineer, I earn my living by using my brain; if I dimminish my mental aptitude, I dimminish my livelihood.

I'm all for small goverment, you are for a larger goverment. I feel people have the God-given right to be idiots; you feel that you need to govern and decide what is right "for them", because for some reason, you are "smarter" than they are.

Me, I don't care if you smoke, I don't care if you don't. You live your life in the best way that you can, you make the decisions about how you are living your life - and as long as you don't negatively impact the lives of those around you - what you do, is your business. Pretty simple stuff.

Thanks for answering for me but I'm capable of doing so. That said, I don't have anything against capitalism and/or Anheuser Busch & Jim Beam (other than their crappy products). Do you?

Winning by not surrendering.

Victory = not surrendering? That's a good one.

But the alternative to surrendering in the WOT or the WOD is unthinkable.

Adults free to put in their own bodies whatever they want? No, you're right. We need Big Government to protect us from that.
