As for this man, I wonder if he had a nice house. I believe being allowed to take property and keep recovered cash one of the worse laws passed. Kind of like the fox guarding the hen house.
I'm not interested in relaxing the drug laws generally--just marijuana. And my only interest is that it's a waste of resources given the negligibly worse health impact of marijuana vs. alcohol and tobacco. Hard drugs are a different matter, though.
Actually, I would not have a problem making it legal for proven addicts to get small amounts of harder drugs, provided that they submit to treatment, and monitoring. They could buy from the government, at low prices, and the government could acquire their supplies from seizures, using the proceeds to offset the cost of the program. That would be better than banning the narcotics altogether because it would burn the pusher's rope at both ends. They keep up the pressure with arrests and seizures, and they take away the market for the product by undercutting the street price and forcing addicts into programs.
>>I believe every American adult should be responsible fot themselves and it should not be any of the governments business. <<
If you are going to give aid to foreigners then Americans should receive some too!
Why restrict just Americans to being responsible for themselves?
