There is a difference between legalizing drug use and advocating it. Do you realize how many violent crimes are committed by drug dealers to protect turf? When was the last time two liquor store owners had a shoot out over turf? Back in Prohibition. You CANNOT control something if people want it. You can only take away from peoples’ liberties.

Don’t think it can affect you? Just do this: Go tot he airport with no luggage and $10,000 in cash. Pay for a round trip ticket to Phoenix returning the same day and pay in cash. I guarantee you will not leave that airport with your money because the DEA or the cops WILL take it from you and claim that you MIGHT be doing something involving drugs. You have committed no crime and plan on committing no crime but you will not get your money back without spending a large amount on lawyer fees.

Is that the kind of society you want to live in?

You can control something if people want it, you just may not be able to eradicate it. LOL, having paid cash for a ticket once, I simply got a personal escort to the ramp. I didn’t mind at all, and would rather live that way than live in a legalized drug society. Been there, done that, and it isn’t preferable to me by a long shot. I suggest anyone who advocates for legalized drugs do the same before they suggest it for America. It will be our kiss of death.
