BS. It institutionalizes self destructive habits and dependency. Now instead of paying the cartel, your paying the state. Institutions that are supposed to be acting in public interest are acting in their own corrupt interest. The cartel is now your government.
Some people are always going to do immoral things. Prostitution, drugs, crime are all immoral and destructive. Just because they are made legal doesn't change that.
Dittoes.
To think that legalized dope will put the cartels out of business is stupid thinking.
Drug Cartels are a billion dollar industry. And illegal weed will always undercut and be cheaper than taxed dope.
See New York City and it’s War on Cigarettes as a comparison.
As more idiot states legalize dope, the War on Drugs will continue merrily along.
Yay.
