For the record I think no knock raids and such are a bad idea.
But that does not make me want to run out and have pot as available as Budweiser...
There is a middle ground.
Like the middle ground between liberalism and conservatives
No knock raids are part of the WOD, if you’re for it AT ALL you are for no knock raids. And I was against the WOD long before last week’s incident, largely because I saw what the WOD has done to the country, like making no knock raid the standard (not just for the WOD anymore, the vast majority of warrants are now served with a SWAT team and no knock, 30 years ago there was no such thing). It’s simply disgusting. Try to buy enough sudafed for a family of allergy sufferers. You can’t, not by yourself, you’ll need multiple adults buying from multiple locations, then your buying stats go to the DEA, and if they decide that’s “too much” bang goes your door. Better hope you don’t have a coffee maker. Coffee makers are made up of a heating element, a beaker and a filter, which when couple with the presence of sudafed means, in the eyes of the DEA, you run a meth lab.
And frankly having pot as available as beer the answer. Alcohol is actually a very effectively regulated drug. As has been point out by many, the presence of white market alcohol killed the majority of the black market, it’s much more difficult for children to get a hold of than anything forbidden by the WOD because the black market is so small and the white market isn’t willing to take the risk. Nobody is actually pushing for drugs to be wide open. I know that’s the strawman drug warriors like to push but it’s just that. Notice EVERY SINGLE PERSON on this thread that’s spoken out against WOD has said regulate it like tobacco and alcohol. NOBODY is saying give it to your kids. If you REALLY want to keep pot away from your kids, which is an admirable goal, you ACTUALLY want it legalized EXACTLY like Budweiser, which right now at this very minute is harder for them to get.
