Actually all drugs were legal when the Declaraton of Independence and the Constitution were written.
But, let's return to your statement: if pot is legalized we will have a nation full of drugged citizens? Oh, please.
I do not understand your argument. Are you saying that people do not do drugs because of their character, as you quoted Walter Williams before; or, are you saying that they do not do drugs because of our law, which you seem to also claim.
Also, in your arguments you ignore the crimes that are taking place because of the drug dealers, then charge us "legalizers" with not being serious about the problem. Let's see, what's worse? Murder or Pot legalization....let me think.
FYI, I never mentioned pot.
The feds are going to add you to their database and make so much money off you and your “legalized” drugs!:
Tokin’ Resistance
By Howard Stansfield, 12/12/96
Soros, who declined to comment for this story, writes that the drug problem as primarily a criminal problem is a misconception and that eradicating the drug problem is a false idea.
A drug-free America is simply not possible. You can discourage the use of drugs, you can forbid the use of drugs, you can treat people who are addicted to drugs, but you cannot eradicate drugs.
So what would he do?
I would establish a strictly controlled distribution network through which I would make most drugs, excluding the most dangerous ones like crack, legally available, he writes. Initially, I would keep the prices low enough to destroy the drug trade.
Once that objective was obtained, I would keep raising the prices, very much like an excise duty on cigarettes, but I would make an exception for registered addicts in order to discourage crime.
