I smoked a lot of reefer in the 70’s and 80’s, so I do have an understanding of, and sympathy for, the legalization argument.

However, there are blunt, statistical, real world facts that must be dealt with, too.

In the world of employment, drug users are massively more likely to have attendance problems, attitude problems, performance problems, and honesty problems.

In the world of criminal justice, drug users and alcoholics commit at least 60% of the violent crimes in America.

I do not know the solution to this dilemma.

But before anyone jumps on the legalization bandwagon, please remember that there is direct statistical link between drug use and sociopathic behavior.

Legalization is wrongheaded thinking, usually by those who think it means they can walk around stoned out of their minds all the time, and not get busted for growing a garden full of the stuff and supplementing their welfare income.

Legalization does not mean that. legalization simply means that the government becomes the kingpin, commissions licensed pushers to sell it's drugs and provides them with their own territory. The government regulates the prices and the taxes on these bad, horrible evil (but now legal) drugs, and because they are bad, unrestricted taxation becomes the method in which they control usage (in the liberal mind anyways).

Private cultivation, smuggling illegal drugs, "bootlegging"(dealing0 is still illegal and still a class A felony. And the government will stop at nothing to protect it's turf.

What potheads really want, is decriminalization as described in this article.

Drug legalization will bring 0bama millions of new gimme voters. Voters who will vote themselves other peoples money.

We had 10 days of pre-voting here. Every day the gimme voters were lined up willing to wait a few hours to vote.

But before anyone jumps on the legalization bandwagon, please remember that there is direct statistical link between drug use and sociopathic behavior.

So we should return to alcohol prohibition?

It takes a fair amount of work to make any kind of alcohol, i.e. beer, wine or hard liquor. If God made it in nature, let it be. IMHO, God didn't do anything for nothing.
