Still wont stop the black market. The garbage will still come across the border, only laced for more addiction.
I am a proponent for legalization. And promote it as grown safe in the U.S.A. with no chemicals (when was the last time YOU bought boot-legged WINE or shine???).
The government stands to do nicely on taxes and people by and large will not be turned into criminals. Look, we already have DUI laws on the books. Are the DUI laws legit or not? a matter for another debate. But none the less, DUI laws exist and can be applied equally with marijuana.
Let the private sector hash out who can smoke and who cannot. Put it in hiring contracts and annual reviews. Employers can still say who they want to hire and many do dope tests already.
These crazy laws against a weed simply boggle the mind.
It is Prohibition part Deux with a larger Police state and growers/suppliers making some dank stuff for black market profit.
Legalize already. Those that want to will continue; those that never have will still be the never halves.
Oh and don't bring in coke or anything else..I DO NOT support that "refined" crap...Never have, never will. Can't pick it? don't sell it it.
And, as everybody knows, some minds are SO much more easily boggled, than others!!!
