And therein lies the divide in the GOP...the (l)ibertarians and the moralists ("real" conservatives).

I suspect we'll never agree.

I know only that I will resist with all of my abilities those who would tell me what I can or cannot do as long as I hurt nobody but myself.

And, please, spare me about how "the rest of society will have to fix me or take care of me" etc.

I don't want any help or interference of any kind.

This CA proposition is a good one and it will pass. And it'll take large bucks out of the prohibition industry...on BOTH sides of the law.

I’ll spare you the morality of this issue. Since morality and being a real conservative are of no value to you.

But think - on an economic scale - when you say “And it’ll take large bucks out of the prohibition industry”, do you really believe the cartels will go broke, disappear and vanish away like a Chicago bootlegger back in the 20’s?

Don’t be naive. All legalization will do - with regards to the cartels - will turn them into legal and legitimate businessment who pay taxes.

And of course the demand will be greater. But this is where you get to tell me all those pesky murders will go away and- oh yeah - our illegal immigrant problems will be done with.

And so on.

You libs are living in a dope induced haze.
