No thanks, since the legalization of marijuana in Holland, heroin addiction has tripled. Please post your source. Have you ever dealt with or seen a heroin addict other than in a movie? No. .2% of the population uses heroine. It would be much less costly to treat those people, even if the rate tripled than to spend it on a drug war. It is not something you want to see, believe me. The belief that marijuana is not a gateway drug has been proven over and over to be wrong and the belief that legaization does not increase the use and addiction has been proven wrong in countries that have already tried it.
Again, post your source. What do you suggest we do about the most widespread gateway drug of all, alcohol? Why not stop the first gateway drug?
Or we could do the liberal thing and just allow all those drug and disease ridden people to come into America and do what they have been doing. Hiding out in liberal run states and killing real Americans in large numbers.
It is the job of our government to protect our citizens and our borders.
Why do the libs believe the opposite?
Why do liberals want to so easily give up our country to people who are criminals?
I want the military on that border and want them to have the right to protect our country and our citizens as those people are enemy combatants and need to be handled as such.
I believe we need to put the military on the border and close it completely. No one in and no one out unless they are deported for being here illegally.

Oh, well... uh, maybe Ron Paul was right about the fence...

Speaking Out Against Drug Legalization, Fact 9 (http://www.justice.gov/dea/demand/speakout/09so.htm - broken link)
Alcohol can be a gateway drug and more education is needed. Tobacco can even be somewhat of a problem. Fortunately, the use of tobacco is on the decline in this country.
I don't hold the Gateway Drug theory as an absolute, in any form. It's possible, but come on. That's like saying, "Oh, I had sex for the first time with a person, now I'm going to bang some animals." Sure, you have some messed up people that might blame the gateway, but that ignores the fact that they were messed up to begin with!

I don't blame the gateway drugs completely, but to ignore their part in the problem when it has been demonstrated repeatedly that there is some corrrelation is ignoring what can be a precipitating factor. That is not dealing with it effectively.

I never said to ignore it. I certainly don't want the government trying to determine their one-size fits all solution to it. We have solutions that have been suppressed for long enough, waiting to break through and help those who need their addictions treated by actual experts in the very narrow fields that they may fall into.
