It’s a continuum, but I am cool with that. I am just remembering, but IIRC something like 80+% of all criminals are in prison from drug-related offenses. We have spent trillions of dollars on stopping something that, if managed properly, is a personal decision.
can you imagine if we allowed and regulated drugs tomorrow? Billions saved in a matter of months. Violent crime across all segments of society, especially the poor neighborhoods — cut in half (or better). Mexican, Colombian, Taliban Cartels out of business overnight.
I don’t see a downside.
You got a problem w/ that?
Damn right we do. You should actually say RE-legalize drugs. It was the socialist Progressives in the early 20th century that started our nation's slide into having the federal government decide for us which drugs can be used legally & which cannot. The only thing positive about it is that they did some of it LEGALLY, via the 18th Amendment....& how'd that work out for ya???
