Too effing bad for your refuted conclusion that "This brings the price down to nothing, gets rid of professional dope dealers".
And the execution of dealers should take place after 1 week of jail time, and publicly.
The entire “justice system” needs to be seriously re-arranged.
So we need to dismantle our 2-century-old system of protections for innocent defendants, in order to combat a trade in disapproved recreational substances? Doesn't sound like conservatism to me.
Another aspect is get rid of all - ALL welfare. AFDC, food stamps, HUD, energy assistence, free/cheap phones, free medical, every bit of it.
I'm all for that.
If people are determined to smoke it and get stupid, it's up to them to grow it. Personal responsbility and all that good non-nanny state stuff. If anyone can grow for personal use only, and sellers are punished publicly - say first with caning, then execution after the second offense - guaranteed this will bring the price way way down - not even worth selling.

No, I'm referring to corruption and leftist crap, not real justice. The politicians like to keep the war on drugs just bad enough to keep the prices high, so banks can launder drug money and politicians can get their cuts. I'm not saying dismantle the theoretical foundation of justice system, just the corruption it's turned into.
Your support of dope is duly noted.
