And you know that I'm not? Do you think the imprimatur of government legalization equals good public policy? If you do, then I guess if you live in Massachusetts you believe gay marriage is good public policy.
Just because the government legalizes something doesn't make it good public policy. He is a link to a study showing the economic and societal costs of alcohol and drug abuse. http://www.nida.nih.gov/EconomicCosts/Index.html If after reading the link, you think its still GOOD public policy to legalize marijuana, let me know why other than a generic "we can make better use of resources."
Well, at least you're consistent.
The benefits of the failed drug war have been far outweighed by the oppressive government dismantling of our Constitution. Personally, I don't care what plant my neighbor has. Neither should anyone else.
