There is a lot of idiocy on parade here, but I like this idea the best:
The cannabis trade that used to employ poor Blacks, Latinos, indigenous and poor whites in its distribution is now starting to be monopolized by already-rich landowners. That means that wide-scale decriminalization will need to come with economic programs and community projects.
I’m a live and let live person-but I didn’t think it was possible to consume as much koolaid as the author of that RS article has been drinking and remain among the living-I think the main thing most of those ideas would produce would be a higher rate of “hard” crimes like theft, murder and rape, because the only deterrents are being shunned and having your hands smacked-I say it wouldn’t work...
People are so afraid of getting involved now because they fear being sued, can you imagine citizen patrols?
