If you really think legalizing dope will eliminate ONE government job, prison cell, or agency, you are really dense or malinformed. It will simply create ANOTHER layer of bureaucracy--the doper-coddling rehab bureaucracy--to overlay the current one.

Like we have a boozer-coddling rehab bureacracy now?

With even just pot legalized, most of the wind would be taken out of the sails of groups like the DEA. Thats 700,000 people a year not being arrested for simple possession. It may not close jails, but it will fill those extra cells up with murders, rapists and thieves.

Any social problems that could possibly occur can easily be handled by the massive influx of cash that ending the War on Drugs would bring.

Hell, I don't understand how you people can support a FEDERAL War on Drugs. If you were just for State Level Prohibition, I would understand. I can only assume you have some sort of overriding personal self-interest in keeping the corruption going...very sad.

Just think if we legalized rape and murder too we can close our prisons and the crime rate will be darn near zero. Do a couple more lines and let's see what other mind-expanding ideas you come up with.

Who will be committing those crimes in an attempt to satisfy their "legal" drug habits.
