When alcohol prohibition was repealed, guess where the 'revenuers" went - BATFE. Perhaps what we need is a diversionary strategy (post cannabis prohibition) to get the surplus LEOs into the Border Patrol. They stay employed doing something that is actually useful, and we get our freedom back.

Good idea. But I doubt they would relish the idea of exchanging their nice digs and big city jobs for one that might involve running around chasing illegals in the hot desert SW. Decriminalize. Wasting money and manpower on pot is way beyond foolish.
better yet, let the LEOs STAY LEOs working more for patrolling streets, and send surplus (by surplus i mean ALL) batfe employees to border control.
