"We have more crime from the black market right NOW than we would with a decriminalized drug trade."

Well, duh.

"Someone sitting in their basement getting bent does no direct harm to you."

800,000 marijuana arrests last year. How many would you guess were sitting in their basement getting bent when they were arrested? One, maybe?

The other 799,999 were out and about, affecting my life and the life of my children. I consider that harmful and detrimental to my efforts at raising them drug free.

Raids on private residences are common.

How many have you and your children witnessed using pot?

You can't raise your children drug free without government force? Is that you Hillary?

Have your children ever asked you if you have used drugs in your life?
