Do you think that legalization is even remotely possible? I don't, so it's a non-issue. We need to restrain our state government lest we become the same kind of economic and social basket case we see in CA.
Personally, I favor legalization because I disfavor the assaults the war on drugs has made on our Constitution even more. They've used the WOD to assault the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th amendments for decades now and I'm tired of reading supreme court decisions that further erode our rights in the name of an unworkable project that was demonstrated decisively during prohibition to lead to more crime and a bigger police state.
Legalization won't make me take drugs, any more than the ready availability of alcohol has made me a drunkard. I tire of the nanny state and its ever-increasing scope.
I like your post. I’m beginning to wonder what the negative effects of legalization would be if the current WOD is having little effect arguably. Prohibition on alcohol did nothing to stop alcohol consumption. All it did was make the mob richer. Although they operate in foreign countries, the drug cartels are a modern day mafia.
Like you, no I don't. I am not arguing the pros and cons of legalization. Or the nanny state, which I abhor.
I am looking at the comments made on the subject. To me they are the issue. Ms. Medina could very well alienate the conservative voter base in the state by even “entertaining” the thought. And by doing so, we could end up with KBH. I don't want that.
I am simply looking at the logistics of her campaign and the ideology of the majority of her voting base.
As I have stated, I have not decided to vote/not vote for Ms. Medina. I just want more info than what she has said at the two televised debates I have seen and what is on her web site.
