Impossible.. The liberals on here keep saying that the only thing that can save us is legalizing.
A carload of paranoid pot-smokers tried to run me over; going so far as to pursue me down the road.
Cannabis is way more dangerous than people make out.
these are sickening.
Legalizing drugs while 90 million are unemployed will spike crime rates.
Drug cartels will not go away.
Legal marijuana is “let them eat cake” to pacify the masses and take their minds off their troubles.
Interesting read but I find it questionable considering the Netherlands has lower rates of drug use than the US and cannabis is legal there. I personally believe that the government does not need to protect people from themselves. As long as someone is using a drug responsibly in their own home, on their own time, that is their business.
I would like to remind everyone that cannabis has only been illegal since the early 1900s. The drug laws in the US are backward and perverse. The DEA classifies drugs according to their harm and potential for abuse. Schedule I is reserved for drugs with no medical use, high potential for addiction and can be very harmful to the individuals who take them. Cannabis is listed as schedule I despite the evidence from the medical community that supports its use in treating varying conditions. It also has no withdraw symptoms unlike other controlled substances. Its also interesting to note that the DEA doesn’t have tobacco listed as a scheduled drug considering it has horrible consequences to your health, no medical benefit and is extremely addictive.
Plenty of people today get doped up in their own way legally. Some people set up an appointment with Dr. Feelgood and give him/her a sob story about how they have anxiety problems and they get a prescription for Alprazolam (Xanax) and it is almost always covered under their insurance (often medicaid). Those who have a different taste go down to their local bar to get their favorite drug ethanol (Yum!). Need i mention caffeine?
They didn’t regulate and tax the supply change. It’s still produced and delivered under prohibition methods.
They should start NASCAR.....
I agree with the guy from a week ago. Let’s follow the Chinese model for dealing with illegal drugs. We just execute all the users. Then, the dealers starve to death. Can you imagine how much better this country would be with all the cowardly illegal drug users gone?
So liberals are dopes, what else is new.
I'll definitely be looking for evidence of this in Washington State. Have to admit I'm a little skeptical it's going to happen unless for other reasons entirely.
And note that decriminalization, by leaving the supply end illegal, misses the greatest practical benefits of full regulated legalization: an end to the hyperinflation of drug profits and the channeling of those profits into criminal hands.
It’s funny to me how similar the language of the gun grabbers and drug warriors is. They’re both quite terrified at the idea of people having ready legal access to stuff the people already have ready illegal access to.
