You’re full of crapola.

Illegal drugs destroy lives, not just those of the user/addict, but their families. If it was only adults who made the choice to use addicting substances I would not be writing this, but that is not the reality.

Reality is kids using ecstasy and meth. If they survive the first try and keep using, eventually their brains are destroyed. Legalizing drugs would not improve the situation. It would only make the drugs easier to get and provide society’s tacit approval.

The best solution to the illegal drug problem is to arrest traffickers, smugglers, dealers, users then put them up against a wall and shoot every last one of them. Few people stick with a path ending in early death.

Do you even read what you write? You say that illegal drugs destroy lives of users and their families, and that the solution is to shoot every last seller and user. HEH!

You say that legalizing drugs would make them easier to get. Oh really...

Despite the fact that alcohol is a legal drug, often stored in parents' liquor cabinets and available for purchase if teens know someone over 21 years old, experts and adolescents say that marijuana is now easier for teens to get their hands on than alcohol.

You also avoided my question on the Constitution. Can't say I'm surprised, considering your previous laughable attempt to justify fedgov trampling of the Tenth Amendment:

I'm not sure that California has that power. (The 10th Amendment is below.) Rather the U.S. government, responsible for the "General Welfare", reserves that power for itself.

Maybe you should discuss General Welfare with John Conyers:

A reporter asked House Judiciary Committee Chairman, John Conyers, where in the constitution is the government given power to mandate that the people purchase health insurance. He answered "under several clauses…the good and welfare clause…and, uh..a couple others."
