But when they had legalized some pot shops, the drug lords selling all the other drugs hung out around the pot shops to gather all the new business the pot smokers would bring to them.
Brought the neighborhoods down and a lot more crime.

Let’s just hope all the recreational drug users kill themselves off soon so that they have less chance of polluting future generations of young people.

Well, im not a drug user, although i experimented around age 19 and 20. But ima believer in the free market, and part of that implies that i believe in market solutions.

Prohibition of drugs has all of the same issues that prohibiton of alcohol had, and we saw fit to repeal it, i think the same is due for recreational drug use.

Any fool can go to a doctor and be proscribed an anti-depressant that is far more dangerous than marijuana these days and its strictly legal. In my opinion current drug laws are a government propped monopoly far more so than anything to do with public safety or welfare.

But i respect your right to a different opinion.
