Alcohol is responsible for 30%, yes 30% of all traffic fatalities.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition: Press release: Police arrest more people for marijuana than for all violent crime combined

The FBI released a new report today showing that nationwide, police in the U.S. conduct one drug arrest every 20 seconds and one marijuana arrest every 42 seconds. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a group of police, prosecutors, judges and other law enforcement officials opposed to the war on drugs, pointed to the figures showing almost 750,000 marijuana arrests and more than 1.5 million total drug arrests in 2012 as evidence that no matter how aggressively we conduct it, this is a war that can never be won.

No, not really. Don't confuse the LE reports of alcohol involved with alcohol caused. This lie has been told over and over again by MADD.

Florida seems ok with plenty of other drugs though. You can get prescriptions all over. The lack of medical MJ seems a blind spot. I think they just prefer big pharma.

This is sadly true. They make it on both ends. The War has been a success. Not like they didn't understand where it was going. Always about the money.

I consider a criminal someone who commits a violent act, or steals. Not someone who smokes weed! Get off of your high horse Finn!

Jesus would've been a criminal during Prohibition. Hell, he was a criminal in his day too. Or at least they made him out to be one.


Shows you how twisted some people can be.

I know it. You know it, and that point has been made time and again. But a lot of so-called "Christians" who think their s*** don't stink and think they're of the moral authority to pass judgement on others seem to forget that little tid bit! The people who don't question ANY laws no matter how bad or immoral they may be would have been the same ones who would have been on board yelling "crucify Him!" Hey... the law is the law, right?.......
