Think of the tens and HUNDREDS of billions we have wasted over the years on this drug war. Tommy Chong of "Cheech N Chong" had 20 agents bust down his door, sieze his computer and bongs he was selling on the internet.

Show of hands: Who feels safer with Tommy Chong off the street today??

Show of hands: Who would rather we use some of these resources to say...PROTECT THE BORDERS...INSPECT a few hundred shipments arriving at our ports every day from Jkarta, Uzbekistan, Korea, etc etc?? Wouldn't this be a better way to protect Americans?

Lets let people be idiots in their own homes...get high all they want. If they want to kill themselves, it us their decision. When they do it in public however, the penalties should be severe...with punishments at least 3X as harsh has current DUI punishments. I say, the first DUI offense should be a MINIMUM 90 day prison sentence and $5000 fine. Second offense, you lose your license for 5 years. Third offense = 5 years jailtime and revoked license for life. Do this and drunk driving would drop like a rock. People would be safer...and we can use the thousands of DEA agents and BILLIONS they are spending to incarverate pot smokers, and go after the REAL terrorists, and other REAL threats to our country, like uninspected shipments from terrorist regions around the globe.

Just a modest proposition.

Drunks do not need a driver's license to drive drunk.
