Watch the “Law and Order” conservatives rail against marijuana and then lean back and take a hearty sip of Beer.

They'll cheer the federal drug war, and then bitch about the federal abuse of power over things like the Endangered Species Act, or federal "hate crime" laws.

Clarence Thomas gets it.

“They’ll cheer the federal drug war, and then bitch about the federal abuse of power over things like the Endangered Species Act, or federal “hate crime” laws.”

Here are my options:

1. Deal w/ drug abuses like we have been doing. We fill up the jails, have drug wars (akin to Al Capone’s alcohol wars in the 1930’s), and basically don’t solve the problem.

2. We follow the Amsterdam example. We legalize it, grade it, tax it. We then get drug parties in parks, still get theft and violence, and still have people ruining not only their lives, but the lives of their families. We still don’t solve the problem.

So, yeah, I’d love to legalize MJ. I don’t smoke it, although I tried it a few times and I DID inhale and I kinda enjoyed it. Still, can anyone show me where we can legalize the stuff and not have MORE problems than we have now?
