Ya that theory sure is working in Canada, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Get ready to have more public parks filled with useless waisted government sucking invalids that create an eye sore for the public to witness.

Have you ever seen the crowds at these marijuana marches. They look like a cross between WTO protesters, 60s hippies and the wild humans in the Planet of The Apes.

So, what do you mean by what's "...working in Canada, Switzerland and the Netherlands."

I think what we have now isn't too nice. Crime rampant, lives destroyed, criminals making a fortune. Drug money ending up with terrorists. I'd prefer that the drug addicts not have to feed their habits by committing crimes and that bad guys not have a source of abundant cash.

Think about it, how does a drug addict feed his illegal habit? By stealing, by dealing or by hooking. In other words, making drug use illegal causes crime to go up, because the cost of drugs goes up, and users have no other way to feed their habit than by committing crimes.

And one of the most troubling crimes being committed is that where users try to get other people hooked on drugs so that they have a bigger base of users to sell to. To restate that, making drugs illegal means that there are more, not fewer users. Again, not too smart.

Finally, I don't care what they look like.
