“we need to secure BOTH borders, start deporting ALL illegals including the incarcerated foreigners and continue to educate children of the dangers of these drugs.”
I agree with all that but it won’t stop the flow of drugs. The drugs will keep coming as long as there is lots of money to be made. And it’s a good idea to educate people on the dangers of drugs, but we’ve been doing that for a long time now and it doesn’t stop many from messing around with drugs.
“I know it won’t be easy and it will take years and years but the legalizing these drugs will just make a bad situation worse...more drugs, crimes, overdose deaths and stupidity!”
I agree with that when it comes to the hard stuff. Pot doesn’t cause that many problems though and I think most people who want to smoke it already smoke it. Over a 100,000,000 Americans have already tried it. According to the government’s self reported statistics more than half of all people under 60 have smoked it. Use couldn’t go up that much. It would go up some but that would be a small price to pay when you think about the money we’d save, the damage we’d do to organized crime, the tax revenues we’d generate, etc.
“more than half of all people under 60 have smoked it.”
That should read “more than half of all American _adults_ under sixty....”
