I have been changing my opinion on drugs lately; and I don't even take asprin. If the federal government were out of the drug enforcement business and allowed states to decide for themselves, it seems possible that the street gangs would lose their funding (illegal drugs).

I do not think legalizing drugs could make the problems any worse than they are presently.

Not to mention that should drug use become legalized, that does *NOT* mean that people will suddenly be allowed to use drugs at work.

Businesses would still be able to ban drug use as a prerequisite for hiring.

So if you want to make money and actually not be a bum on the street, you *STILL* wouldn’t be able to use drugs.

Unfortunately for the die-hard social conservatives, that level of thought is too difficult for them to think through. If there isn’t a Father Government there to beat you with a law, then people’ll suddenly just go ape-sh@t and do the most immoral things possible.
