Which ones would those be? Please enlighten me....
Feel free to cite supposed "experts" who coincidentally agree with your argument, as most weak-arguers do.
Again, one fact will always remain right now: pot is illegal, use of pot is against the law, and no amount of whining will result in National passage of repeal....
OK. So what? I'm not arguing for repeal. I realize it isn't going to happen. Not speaking for myself, but I do know a number of friends and colleagues that enjoy pot. None of them really care one way or the other about legalization. The supply is plentiful, the quality has never been higher, and the price is low. They all are successful professionals and good parents. There's basically no problem. Their kids are successful and their careers are on track. They keep their habit to themselves, don't hurt anybody and don't get hassled by police.
That it remains illegal is an amusing nuisance, but it has no particular effect on them, and they present no particular risk to the public at large. Who cares?
With regard to harder and actually dangerous drugs like cocaine (really, mainly just crack), there's no way it'll ever be legalized. The gangs won't permit any action to legalize, ever. The black market for coke/crack gives serious money to thousands of inner city gang bangers that no regular job could ever touch. City budgets are also dependent on the same money, just from the other side. Nothing about that is going to change any time soon.
