That cops would be able to spend more time catching other violent criminals were it not for drug arrests?

Your argument is weak.

First, drugs are currently against the law, therefore, law enforcement officers would be derelict of duty if they didn't apprehend drug law offenders.

Second, quite a few drug arrest result from law enforcement officers being called for other reasons, like violent crimes.

I'm sure that all you pot heads just sit around peacefully saying "Hey man" and "Groovy man" but the meth heads are killing people and breaking things.

As a side note: 29 people were arrested in the Huntsville, Al area yesterday with several tons of meth and pot. All of the meth and pot was brought in from Mexico. 27 of the 29 arrested were illegals.

What a stunning, brilliant argument. Full of logic, wit, and strength. You must be a Dartmouth man.

"The problem is they are making pot to be much more addictive and much more potent that it use to be."

Making it to be more addictive...ROTFLMFAO

I will agree that advances in cultivation and hybrids have made the varietals of marijuana more potent. HOWEVER, addiction comes in two forms...physical and psychological...marijuana is a psychological addiction meaning that you want to smoke more because it makes you feel good, not because you are chemically addicted to needing more THC(active ingredient in pot). Since the addiction is not chemical your statement is both patently absurd, shows a complete lack of understanding, and experience in the area. Please get your information from places other than anti drug commercials, such as personal experience.

Since the addiction is not chemical your statement is both patently absurd, shows a complete lack of understanding, and experience in the area.

Actually, there is evidence that THC is physically addictive. Please get your information some place other than from pro-druggie websites.

Also, I looked at your study, and it seems that the monkeys prove that they are addicted not how. They could be injecting it because of chemical or psychological addiction. Monkeys also know what feels good.

That is my point, one is not toxic right away [...] The other is instantly toxic (pot).

"Toxic" means poisonous ... only alcohol is that.

Why do you think it's relevant to legality that alcohol takes a few minutes to take effect while marijuana is much faster?

It's even toxic to pets!

It's even only toxic to pets!

There, now that's correct. Note that the correct version supports none of your hysterical claims.
