If that crackpot believes that releasing dope into the streets, destroying tens of millions of additional lives, families, neighborhoods and harming US productivity “promotes the general welfare” he is NUTS!

He's nuts? It is as if no one seems to think that crap isn't already there! Are you going to run out and become a toothless methhead just because it is legalized/decriminalized?

Me neither.

But at least my door will be less likely to be kicked in by someone with the wrong address on a warrant, my dog may live longer, and the Cartels to the south of the US (spread throughout as well) won't be able to send truckloads of money home under the radar (when the DEA isn't laundering it for them).

Prohibition didn't work for alcohol, either--and the money involved rapidly corrupted parts of the enforcement agencies from bottom to top.

I don't use drugs, I hate them, they have, through the actions of others, cost me any chance to retire. I'll work until I can't or I die, whichever comes first--but the current setup isn't working, there is still a drug problem, and our Rights have been sacrificed on that altar wholesale for little good effect.

And the d@mned border still isn't secure! (Maybe someone's getting a cut?)

Legalize that crap and demand, supply and usage will increase dramatically. Todays user debris will be joined by tens of millions who have always been afraid of the consequences of getting arrested and have not had dope easily available.

Crime will rise as user losers commit even more to feed their new addictions. Traffic and other deaths and injuries will increase from more dope screwing up more people.

Your door may not get kicked in from the law but it might be from drugged up human debris needing more money to pay for that crap.
