Not exactly. I believe with any sort of reform of drug prohibition should come two things: one, a similar retreat of welfare, and two, an increase in the penalties for all crime, especially violent crime.

I do not think that committing a murder sober should be punshed less than while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I feel the same about hate crime: is it more wrong to kill someone because of their race, or for the money? Is it more wrong to slay someone with a firearm or your bare hands? No.

I believe with any softening of our stance of drug prohibition should come a strengthening of penalties for all crimes. In my opinion, child rape should be a capital offence. Why is there such gnashing of teeth over what to do with sexual-offenders? If they are such a danger, don't let them out of prison. Likewise with murderers.

I agree. Actually, I could probably agree that murder, rape, child molestation and treason should be the four crimes that are capital offenses.
