The ‘war on drugs’ has cost more lives, cost more money, and destroyed more businesses than anything else. Prohibition does not work, never has, never will. Cigarette smuggling is now a major business in New York.

Decriminalize it, tax it, license it, use the proceeds for treatment. It will fund treatment, get the gangs out of the drug business.

...use the proceeds for treatment...

Tobacco and Gasoline taxes have had a habit of being used for non-related spending.
How will they keep this in the box? If they can do that, I might agree.

You’re one spreading the myths and pushing the liberal cause.

There will always be a drug prohibition. Cigarettes are completely legal and the police killed a guy selling cigarettes illegally. When weed is legalized, it will be more expensive than stuff on the street because of taxes and legal fees. Teens will be forced to buy weed illegally. People will still be selling weed illegally and the law will still be cracking down on it.

Sorry, but your attempt to pollute our country with pot is misguided at best. You are, quite simply, wrong.
