If they don't, they'll catch more real criminals with actual victims - a plus in my book, and a legitimate function of government.
Of course not. They will do just like they did back around Prohibition. Give ‘em a different job. Even if it is STILL one they aren’t supposed to be doing.
BATFE is the group I’m referencing in case anyone in the gallery missed it...
Wouldn’t that make welfare more expensive?
I steal my drugs.
Decriminalize drugs since drug prohibition doesn't work. Ask any one taking a hit in prison. The screwups are going to get their high no matter what the laws are.
Give the drug abusers a chance to clean themselves up but if they can't handle living in a free society then they should be stripped of their citizenship and given the boot.
Decent people shouldn't have to give up their liberty or money because a few chowder heads can't hold their liquor.
****They will do just like they did back around Prohibition. Give ‘em a different job.****
Exactly, like maybe Armament Retrieval Officers...
Obviously the stuff makes users (welfare recipients) lethargic, uninhibited, unable to function on so many levels, and is a gateway to other bad behaviors including theft, burglary, driving under the influence and causing MV accidents, neglecting your respondibilities, to name just a few. They seem to create so much havoc in general but don’t try to tell an addict that. They’ll deny it to the end or until their back is up against the wall. I just dont get the need to destroy my life with that crap.
> So we legalize pot, the guv gets more money and needs to spend less money for enforcement. Does anyone here think that the guv will reduce the amount of enforcement officers?
No they’ll just ship them over to DHS
Should pears be legal if it means that kiwis will be orange?
What a waste of time!
No. Cost of screening would be offset by a reduction in benefit payouts...
Of course, we could just always do my idea and re-privatize welfare to the charity based model we used to have.
Sink or swim on your own merits. No more FedGov Nanny to rob us blind with...
Or as they would come to be known, "Reactive Targets".
Many people of all ages take prescription drugs from their relatives and they find other sources to continue their drug habit. It seems crazy but I read an article about a woman who nearly died from household cleaning fluid. It has been a long time since I read the article but I think she tried to breath in the fumes. Some people are so addicted to painkillers that they will use household cleaning agents if they have no other access to drugs.
You have responded to a comment I wrote two years ago.
That must have been quite a nap, citizen!
Just so you know, my comment was intended to make people laugh, not to be taken seriously.
