I think legalizing marijuana would definitely cut down on the amount of drug arrests.

I definitely know some in law enforcement don't support legalizing weed because they know it will cut down on the amount of work they'll have.

Yes, and that hasn't been efficient either.

All drugs should be decriminalized immediately. That will take the profit out of the drug business. There will be people who destroy themselves just as some do with alcohol, but it's the only way to stop it. It's not a good solution. It's the only solution.

If it takes the profit out of drug business... where do the profits go then? Magic?

"Not efficient" implies that it actually does not work. I see many parallels between the war on drugs and the war on terror. I think someone already wrote that in this thread.
The more you fight it the less you can control it. That is my opinion and somehow the statistics/reality shows that it is right.

Well... that's because we are being too kind... drop a few bombs on the drug cartels and its game over... they need large farms... a couple of radioactive bombs and its toasty for a long time... perhaps then the foreign government will take the war on drugs more seriously...

Legalize pot and gay marriage! The tax revenue on pot and childless gay married people paying the marriage penalty tax will cover universal healthcare!

Ha ha.
I guess you haven't heard of the GAYby boom.

In any case, I guess I can get on board with that even though the government shouldn't be involved with marriage.

I'll be running a gay friendly pot bakery when pot becomes legal and I'll even cater to some gay weddings.
