Another good reason to stop jailing, and release personal users and minor distributors of pot. We need more prison space for potentially dangerous illegal aliens (especially non Latin Americans) and gang members.
That sounds racist when you consider that gangs and border crossers make their money in the drug trade. If we legalzie the drugs, they commit no crimss to arrest them on.
Or do we keep it illegal for "large" quantity? Would they still war over turf? How does that help things? Or would the criminals just fill the void with another illegal substance?
