So what would legalizing "prevent"? They're going to stick up the same liquor store if it's legal or not. It will still cost money they don't have. All you'll bring is a rash of new taxpayer funded government programs that will "provide them" with the drugs they need....At our expense. If this worked it would have been adopted by now. It hasn't. As I said Holland hasn't legalized it, they just look the other way. Legalizing it would add to the already escalating healthcare costs. More people would use, not less.
If you take something that is illegal and expensive, and make it legal, cheap, and plentiful, use will go up, not down. Then come all of the health costs associated with it's abuse. There is no way legalizing would solve any problem we currently have with drugs, except for making more lazy, non productive idiots. Which we already have too many of. If you dropped cigarette costs back down to a buck a pack, use would go up, not down.
Well, since Obama just created a new bureaucracy today, I'll give you what I consider the second biggest issue after the billions of dollars pissed away annually on this useless boondoggle.
I will preface it by pointing out that just like murder, those who are going to will do so and f*ck your laws.
Legalization would remove one of the primary covers the Govt has been using for decades to under mine the Constitution and erode your civil liberties.
And people like you, and several others, cheer them on while they tighten your collar.
For starters I'll give you 3 words," No Knock Warrant" Every single state in the Union has suffered innocent citizens murdered by cops because they got the wrong address or some informant just made up a story to get paid.
Just last month there was a thread about a homeowner who answered his door armed since it was late at night and was killed by police at the wrong door.
Forfeiture laws, search and seizure, under the ruse of "drug investigations" have become a notorious shake down where LE Agencies supplement their budgets by stealing the assets of "accused", not convicted, "accused drug suspects.
Even if you are found not guilty, seized assets are not returned, frequently they have already been auctioned off before you come to trial.
Currency laws, If you have a large amount of cash, gold, or other valuables they can be seized simply because you have them, then you have to prove they are not proceeds of drug sales.
Privacy laws, based on SCOTUS rulings you have no privacy. Police can come onto your property, place tracking devices on your vehicles, look through your windows, question any one they can think of about you, and search you on the street.
The only things they need a warrant for are to actually enter your home or business or tap your phone.
All under cover of the "War on Drugs".
"It's for the children " right ?
Horsesh!t, just like gun control, it's about control .
Many of you keep an eagle eye on your gun rights, mean while you swallow the rest of the BS that they have been using to f*ck you six ways from Sunday.
