My bottom line on this issue is: I think marijuana is bad and I think the legalization of marijuana is bad but I think the militarization of police and the confiscation of property that go with the War on Drugs is much, much worse.
I want the swat teams gone. I want the property seizures ended.
We’re just going to have to deal with the public health problems of more addicts but that’s easier to deal with that than the loss of liberty that comes with more hitlers.
I’d rather have more addicts and fewer hitlers.
The militariation of the police is bad. That doesn’t have much to do with the “war on drugs”, it has to do with the growth of tyrannical government.
Our government is becoming a tyrant police state and that is happening even if all drugs were legal.
