I’m just looking at the logistics.
Texas struggled with gambling. Do you really think most voters will vote for a governor that promotes drug legalization?
He@#, we could have had Kinky..at least he can play some decent music. ;)
Do you think that legalization is even remotely possible? I don't, so it's a non-issue. We need to restrain our state government lest we become the same kind of economic and social basket case we see in CA.
Personally, I favor legalization because I disfavor the assaults the war on drugs has made on our Constitution even more. They've used the WOD to assault the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th amendments for decades now and I'm tired of reading supreme court decisions that further erode our rights in the name of an unworkable project that was demonstrated decisively during prohibition to lead to more crime and a bigger police state.
Legalization won't make me take drugs, any more than the ready availability of alcohol has made me a drunkard. I tire of the nanny state and its ever-increasing scope.
