Decriminalize but don’t legalize.

Legalization will lead to a whole rainbow of new laws and taxes that none of us need.

With Decriminalization we can use existing laws and impose rational penalties and fines. Kinda like alcohol.

“With Decriminalization we can use existing laws and impose rational penalties and fines. Kinda like alcohol.”

no, not kinda like alcohol. pretty much nothing like alcohol. alcohol is legal for all adults over the age of 21. decriminilization means that it’s still illegal and still has to be smuggled into the country which does nothing to address the problems of violence in our cities, at our border, and around the world.
by making the purchase of these substances legal on the open market, we take away the monopoly that the cartels and drug gangs have.

No more than with the regulation of alcohol.

With Decriminalization we can use existing laws and impose rational penalties and fines.

Decriminalization, rather than legalization, would keep in place the source of 2/3 of the cartels' revenue they get from marijuana.

Prohibition lead us to a whole rainbow of new laws and taxes that none of us needed.

And now some of the same forfeiture laws will no doubt be used to fight Obama's "War on Assault Weapons".

Where does Liberty end, and where does it begin?

Ask yourself that question, and if you can answer it, you're already wrong, because that's YOUR answer. Not everyone's.
