Too effing bad for your refuted conclusion that "This brings the price down to nothing, gets rid of professional dope dealers".

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.

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.

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.

Those who can't or won't grow it will continue to patronize professional dope dealers and prop up prices.

Still wrong - as I said, dealers visit that on each other regularly, without the protections afforded by the justice system, yet dealing continues to take place.

Explain to us how you'll eliminate this as-old-as-mankind problem.

and leftist crap

Specifically?

Your support of dope is

nonexistent. Your slimy personal attack is duly noted.
