That's what I've heard, too.

(Or were you suggesting you have evidence to the contrary?)

Socialist government policies such as high taxes, gun control, and unrestricted immigration have been the cause of social problems in Holland and the UK, not pot decrim.

We've already relegalized a potent drug---alcohol---having determined that criminalization caused more problems than it solved.

typical druggie post. Complains wod costs money (doesn't mention the cost in human misery, money, bad health, Hepatitis C, HIV or accidents)

Complains it clogs the legal system (doesn't note that most "drug" arrests are for crimes such as DUI, pushing burglery or assault, and that most "convictions" for "simple possession" are actually plea bargains down from larger crimes).

I think we need a demonstration of a MOAB(mother of all bongs) right overhead of these duckspeakers.

5000 pounds of BC Hydro ought to stun them into submission.

Shock.....and Awe.

So *I* should pay for the War On Some Drugs to prevent *somebody else's* misery? Socialist.

Rubbish---those acts would be illegal whether or not drugs were relegalized.

and that most "convictions" for "simple possession" are actually plea bargains down from larger crimes).

Provide evidence for your claim.
