Then would you like your taxes raised to provide funding for undercover agents to find and arrest the druggies, whores and johns. And how would you like your taxes raised again to provide prison space for the people who get caught?
It's crazy how so many conservatives are strongly opposed to legalizing marijuana, due to their fear that people will get high over it, yet, I never hear any of them complain about drugs, like Chantix, advertised on TV that come with the possible side effect of making you feel like killing yourself.
This conservative says legalize it. I don't do either but have no problem with others doing it. Hell, both are quite natural.
Then I'll buy stock in trojen, chef-boy-r-dee and doritos and be set for life!
As is the case where there is no victim, there should be no crime. All drugs, sex between consenting adults, gambling, etc. should all be legal activities.
What consenting adults do is their business. If it interferes with others then it becomes an issue.
Indeed.

LOL! I agree, but I never understood the misconception that legalization of weed was exclusively a liberal stance.

Correct. Unfortunately, we have too many busy bodies and wanna-be dictators in our society and in our government who think they know what is or isn't good for the individual.
Government is not your moral code.
Government is force.. when individuals use force against another to remove another liberty citizen to citizen property, and or life then the government protects the rights of the individual.
Weed and prostitution have no harm to life and liberty of individuals.
unless the individual is unable to defend its life or liberty against another individual. IE Children or those with mental issues.
There would be a lot less welfare queens if they had to sell the bodies to pay their bills.
I see what you did there. And to add, they could do so legally. Potentially reduce the amount of people on the government's teet, freeing up a potentially lucrative market (or markets since weed would also be legal), thereby people get to exercise more of their individual liberties without fear of prosecution... win-win!
