Tobacco products, fatty foods, SUVs, and french fries could be made illicit in a matter of moments on a federal level by one stroke of the congressional pen, just like marijuana was made illicit in 1937 by the Marijuana Tax Act. There is no substance to your counter-argument.
Drugs dealers would be well advised to avoid armed confrontations with police officers.
Let me get this straight: because marijuana was involved, you have no problem with a paramilitary police officer gunning down a person in his or her home when that person may not have been armed???? Are you quite sure you're not just flexing your internet toughguy muscles here?
Ping me when it happens.
