“Allowing the FedGov to dictate what you can and can’t grow in your garden, or smoke in your own home: Priceless”
You forgot one other statistic: Amount of government provided benefits - food stamps, welfare, and other great-society transfer payments that is used to purchase marijuana and other drugs.
Per my previous post, I do support legalization, if government benefits of all kinds were predicated on a negative drug test. I’d also let employers test anytime they wish. As many employers already do.
I have been an advocate of this for some time now. You SHOULD have to pass a drug test before getting government benefits. And as for businesses drug testing, that is their right and, as you mentioned, most do, so then all that is left is getting weed legalized and making a negative test requisite (sp?) before receiving government benefits. I fail to see the problem.
