Then why the 'for the children' bs?

I didn't say 'for the children'. You did. Legalization implies acceptance. For the same reason, I do not want legalized marriage among gays, it implies acceptance to little kids. Fight for the legalization of drugs all you like - it's obvious you are for it.

I dont think you can ever 'win' the war on drugs. That doesn't mean we should let it become just another part of daily life.

tang0r: It is helpful to remember that legality is not social approval, and our laws recognize this.
You: "Maybe so, but our children do not."

it implies acceptance to little kids.
Our Constitution is not based on little kids. Little kids are not a separate species...They grow into adults. If you legislate for little kids you are ignoring the adult that little kid will grow into.

Fight for the legalization of drugs all you like - it's obvious you are for it.
I am for the Constitution and against the un-Constitutional drug war that endangers my kids and grandkids.

Let's look at the facts:
The drug war has increased, not decreased, teen drug abuse.
The drug war has increased, not decreased, availability of drugs.
The drug war has increased, not decreased, drug strength.
The drug war has increased, not decreased, violent crime
The only drug war decrease is the price of illegal drugs.

Marijuana has never killed a kid...the drug war has killed many.
