We've legalized homicide "for the children" ... why not drugs?

I'm all for the speedy execution of anyone caught bringing red cocaine or heroin into the country. I'm also for 'states rights' in that a drug-producing state would bear all costs of keeping said drugs confined within their borders.

Other than that, I find it hard to believe -- speaking strictly in terms of debilitating and destructive Substance-Abuse -- that alcohol would not be the greater source of carnage, litter, absenteeism, withdrawal, addiction, clenched fists and venomous tongues than Cannabis.

Doesn't add up.

Speaking strictly within 'moral' terms, if you can make bathtub moonshine, no reason you shouldn't grow pot on your sill. Where that activity endangers or actually hurts another, the FULL measure of the law. Allows folks to decide for themselves what they will and will not abide in their own community.

A fake "War on Drugs" wherein it's abundantly clear our TRUE defenses against the REAL ENEMY (the marxist destruction from within that is the corruption of our leadership, agencies and military and the destruction and addiction -- or idolatry -- of our people) do not exist ... is absurd and intolerable.

All "get tough" measures on drugs have served only to imprison and punish the weak while NEVER addressing those truly responsible for the scourge.

Drugs DOES NOT WORK LIKE ANY OTHER COMMODITY.

It is SUPPLY that drives DEMAND for drugs.

Think about it.

I agree with you for the most part. I support the legalization of pot. I want treatment for users not imprisonment. I want severe punishment for sellers, ect.
