Its funny. My brother is a raving, DU-type, conspiracy theorist Lib who thinks Bush started the Iraq War to line his pockets. I’m conservative. Yet we both agree that pot should be legal. Personally, I don’t see it as any worse than drinking. Libs advocating legalization are their own worst enemies. They start off OK but then the argument turns to some conspiracy about how the CIA wants to keep pot illegal to fund its death squads.

Proving stupidity is genetic?

Neither do I.

LOL! That's the main problem with libs. The longer they talk the dumber they sound.

I prefer to look at it as a Constitutional issue.

Does the Constitution say the federal government has the authority to tell the People what they can consume? No?

Then it's an issue for the individual States.

Unless, of course, one believes in a 'living' Constitution.

I don't know if I'd want it "legalized". Certainly decriminalized though.

The whole taxing thing sounds like we'd still need to keep our Revenuer Jackboots for the modified WODs. All those 'bootlegger' home grower types. Decriminalize, and it takes away a HUGE cash stream for all those canine shooting 300+ pound doughnut munchers that shoehorn themselves into those Swat/Seal Team 6 costumes. AND it removes any incentive for the mexican cartels to continue their imports.

Win, win.
