If you suddenly made liquor illegal in your state, the alcoholic homeless would migrate to other states. However, it would create worse problems that come with prohibition.

Not true. Dry Counties are very successful.

When more states abandon pot prohibition, there will be no incentive for homeless addicts to migrate for that reason.

Sure. They will self create a sub-culture; an underclass of dopers who can't get work and are sponging off Welfare.

Dry counties are only successful if there is a wet one near by. Isolated dry counties always have organized crime smuggling and counterfeiting liquor. Some people will always want to be intoxicated and pay any price. Prohibition only changes who gets paid to supply them and how much they have to steal.

We already have a huge legal underclass of dopers, they are simply kept fed and out of sight. To see some of them, look in front of a small pharmacy at opening time. It is not as bad as it used to be since most pharmacies deliver now but you can still see them.

They get free dope, free housing where they sit home doping all day and free food paid by taxpayers. These legal Rx drugs are all more toxic, impairing and addictive than pot. We have countless people addicted and driving on Xanax, vicodin, ambien etc. We already have legal heroin but in a packaged marketed form.

The synthetic drugs also cannot be easily home-grown like pot so an addict must continuously fork up money.

Big Pharma makes billions selling their chemicals to legal addicts. Doctors are bribed to prescribe more addictive drugs. "Pain clinics" and pharmacies make big money acting as the dealers. The law enforcement and private prison industries make incredible money from pot prohibition.

Legal pot that anyone can grow at home would destroy all these gravy trains and that is the ONLY reason for prohibition
