>>>Police losing battle over pot, says prof
That's because it's a stupid battle.
They need to keep it illegal -- not because it's wicked and awful, but because the assinine prohibition is a great recruiting tool for our side, at least the libertarian wing of it.
What better argument for the ineffective, intrusive, and illogical nature of government than a multi-billion dollar, life-wrecking, police-corrupting crusade against a humble weed.
Amen.
Ummmmm...no argument here. I agree.
There are valid arguments for legalizing pot, even though I disagree. The fact that we are "losing the battle" is not a good reason. We wouldn't apply that to the crime of murder, for example, or robbery. In a related realm, we don't apply that argument to the abortion issue, even though we are losing that battle, it could be argued.
