Just don’t ask for my tax dollars to pay for the costs of drug-related crimes and treatment programs.

I don’t like how drugs are controlled and subjected to profit now. If I want to buy a drug for an upcoming migraine, I should be able to do that without a dive into the government’s lengthly bureacratic enrichment and authority programs.

If a person could register as a user and then allow the subject to be fair game in job interviews we’d have fewer hassles and more fairness. In the meantime, I’ll pay hundreds of dollars for a pill that should cost less than $5. The abusers are making the rules for the rest of us.

Understand? It’s a LIBERAL program!

So you'd prefer your tax $$ to go to funding more corrupt narcs, housing more non-violent 'criminals' in prisons, meanwhile interdicting only a tiny fraction of the 'contraband'? Not to mention empowering vicious, murdering gangs of foreigners with millions upon millions of black-market dollars, and depriving law-abiding citizens of more and more freedoms due to 'drug exceptions' to constitutional rights?

Yeah, love that War on Some Drugs. Gotta keep buying those shiny new D.A.R.E. vans for Barney Fife and co., dontcha know ...

I agree completely our tax dollars should not pay for treatment etc ...

but even if they did ... it would still be cheaper than funding the WOD.

Sorry buddy, you’re already paying a lot for that right now. Ever heard of a state prison, or probation, or narcotics officers and interdiction programs, how about drug sniffing dogs, narcotics stings, customs agents, flash bang grenades, gas chromatography to analyze the urine of parolees or people on probation, mandatory minimum sentences, helicopters specially equiped to detect marijuana farms in California?

The current policy in this nation is costing you a hell of a lot more than some funding for rehab and education programs.
