You’re just flat out wrong.
As far as the numbers, I’m going off what was on Glen Beck’s show Wednesday.
Now, as far as the dollars because it’s being pled down? I’m adding in court costs, incarceration costs, enforcement costs and estimating based on an average that it’s about $50,000 for an 18 month average sentance.
Sorry if I don’t have the exact numbers in front of me, but I’m giving you as close to an approximation as I can. Do you think given the police, court, jailers time/cost, that it would be $30,000? $40,000? I was giving a fairly reasonable estimate given all the factors.
I believe personal responsibility is also key.
I do not believe it would be the ruination of our country. They said the same thing about alcohol. Look where it got us.
No, not wrong.
Municipal courts would bankrupt a city if it cost 30-40 K for each drug incarceration. So on the face of it it makes no more sense than claiming shoplifting costs 30-40 K per prosecution.
Don’t confuse Prohibition with the Volstead Act.
Doesn’t matter anyway. I agreed to legalize everything if you agree not to charge the system for medical costs and allow cops civil immunity from the spike in dealing with people under the influence. So what’s the problem? I am agreeing with you.
Smoke away.
