This is one argument I wish the GOP would stay out of
There is so much illegal money to be made with pot that it is a major source of all the crime
HArd drugs like crack being much worse, but if pot was legal I believe a majority would NOT skip to the harder stuff
And I speak from a lifetime of experience knwing such people and poissibly having spent some of my youth in such wasteful endeavors.
Big gov’t conservatives from Utah telling me what to do in my home really angers me.
You have to pick your battles.
I share concerns about the trend to legalize pot. But this is a battle the GOP Congress should stay out of. There is no upside but many downsides to getting involved in this.
I agree. I don't like pot, but I also don't like property forfeitures and I definitely don't like the Republicans getting off-message... which this issue threatens to be.

It seems like it’s the only thing the GOP is taking on.
Meth is pretty bad, not to mention dangerous to produce as well. Hardly anyone actually bothers killing other people over pot, it’s a wild weed and easy to grow, or it just grows. AFAIK, the people who use meth or coke are a very different crowd from those who use pot.
