Way to go, they should do the same here in the USA, when prohibition was revoked, we did not see as far as I know excessive use of alcohol, it was regulated, licensed, controlled.
This continued drug war is just maintaining job security.

It should be legal, but solely within the confines of a private residence.

Oh yes by all means let's go the way of the Euroweenies let them show us the way to Utopia...

Drugs should be made legal and illegal aliens made felons.

Vast resources would be freed to pursue the illegal aliens.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP).

These are retired and active cops, DEA agents, judges prosecutors and other justice system employees, telling it from in the trenches of the WOD. They expose the WOD for what it is; a war against people.

How many of these libertines who believe they should be allowed to do whatever turns their crank also believe the rest of us have a responsibility to pay for their spoon-feeding after they become invalids from drug abuse?

More progress is to be made by trying to outright ban booze (again) and cigarettes. Might as well go for junk food too. People are eating, boozing, and smoking themselves into disability, afterall...think of the children!

Just need a few agent provocateurs willing to push it, and a plan for others to rile up the masses and bring a large backlash.

I wish FR would take out its next poll on whether to allow the private sector to regulate at least some of the less dangerous drugs, like marijuana. Prohibition of this sort is unconstitutional. But I won't expect the RINOS in congress to ever do anything about it. They like big government fanaticism and pushing people around. How many billions and billions do we waste on locking people up? And how much of the prison population are drug offenders? Half? 60%?

According to some FReepers I know, anyone arguing for drug decriminalization is undoubtedly a dirty pot smoking hippy himself, a traitor wishing for the destruction of American civilization, or both. I've been told so many times by the likes of robertpaulsen.

I wonder what the hard line Drug Warriors think is motivating these experienced police officers?

"Officers claim this would cut drug deaths and divert police resources to other crime-fighting priorities"

Other crime-fighting priorities such as SEIZING KNIVES ~ the Scots outlawed knives. House to house, drawer by drawer searches will be needed.

[johna61]

Really stupid Scottish idiots.

[verity]

Same old tired argument.
