Getting a conviction on most crimes is an impossible task even with eye witnesses. If the local burglar stealing my stuff never gets caught for stealing but gets arrested for possession and goes to jail at least he is not stealing my stuff any more. After 3 convictions he qualifies for lifer status. Feel free to substitute child molester and the act of molesting in this scenario.

You don’t understand. Pot smokers are highly regarded tax-paying productive members of society. They never break laws and are never on welfare roles. We need more dopers and we need to legalize pot so we can tax it. And this time - the higher taxes WON’T lead to more government.

(At least this is what the pro-dope crowd tells me)

I'll bet they tell you no such thing - prove me wrong and provide an exact quotation.

Sadly this is a losing battle. People like on this thread don't care about drugs and their dangers. They look at alcohol as a trial case, and to legal and spread its use as a proof of. I don't even know.

Making more drugs legal seems stupid. I say go with meth. Legalize that, and see how it goes. Go for the extreme.

I say alcohol is a necessary evil, but anything harder including pot is not.

I, for one, never bought into the tax it argument. That is more for statists like you who need to feed the beast and fund other Wars on Whatever.
