By now there should be no profit in pot for California producers since it is readily available to anyone who wants it.

I don't know what that has to do with anything - but it's obviously wrong: pot is readily available to anyone who wants it AND is willing to pay the drug-war-hyperinflated price.

Of course the “real crimes” are those someone else is committing.

Are you implying I break any drug laws? You're mistaken.

I'm implying no such thing.

Good to know. What did you mean by that statement about "someone else"?

Yes, it takes both users and laws against sale. We've seen for alcohol and other drugs that such users can't be eliminated - the living-in-reality choice is to eliminate the laws.

Given abuse of alcohol is a problem why on earth add fuel to the fire?

Because continuing the War On Drugs fuels a different, bigger fire.

Do you support removing fuel from the substance-use fire by re-banning alcohol?

SOME drug users - inlcuding users of the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol - victimize their spouses and children by rendering themselves unable to meet their responsibilities. Why should ALL users - including those with no spouses or children - be punished?

Why punish speeders who have never had a wreck?

Speeders pose a clear and present danger to others; this is not the case for users of alcohol or other drugs. Also, speed laws apply only on public roads whereas drug use takes place in private bloodstreams.

Legalize drugs and take the profit and crime out it, right?

California has legalized pot and the profit and crime are still there.

If you’re going argue privacy for drug use then it should be private and in private. No drug shops or hidden plots in the national forests with guards willing to shoot the wandering hiker.

“Speeders pose a clear and present danger to others; this is not the case for users of alcohol or other drugs”

Really? I guess some naked guy trying to break into a school was just there for sex ed.
