I am claiming no such thing. The point is that marijuana laws have dramatically loosened in the last 20 years in the US and crime has plunged. It shoots in the butt the theory that loosening pot laws will lead to more crime.
BTW, CA collects $100M in taxes from $1B in medical mj sales. It's a booming business. So yes, there is defacto legal pot in CA.
You con’t pay a dime for me, so leave me alone.
The question is why you won’t ;leave me alone. Stop imposing your big government and stealing my money with dependency programs.
The point is marijuana law have dramatically loosened in the last 20 years in the U.S. and the size of government has grown exponentially. But that was your point all along.
No it wasn't and it's dishonest to say so. You originally said "If you thought the Zetas were bad..." I countered with a few facts about crime and marijuana laws.
No one said or implied a thing about the size of government until you introduced it. Now if you want to go that route, let's talk about the fraudulent New Deal Commerce Clause, which allowed fedgov to expand into every corner of our lives, including the EPA, fedgov control of health care and the War on Drugs.
So do you support the New Deal Commerce Clause, or do you support the Tenth Amendment?
No, you responded with a couple of totally misleading claims that no one would support you on. Worse than global warming.
Why are you supporting a Government so big it can lock you up for smoking a plant?
You did not address the question about the fraudulent New Deal Commerce Clause that your Drug War depends on, nor how it tramples the Tenth Amendment. Don't be timid now, let's hear your thoughts.

-just damn-
Alcohol integrates well with Western Civilization. Pot not.
Is wide-spread alcohol use bad for people and society?
Alcohol integrates well with Western Civilization. Pot not.
Evidence?
You asked me what I think. That’s what I think. The evidence that it is what I think is that I typed it out.
I’m not arguing, just saying what I think.
No, nobody asked you that.
Well, anyway, that’s what I think.
