“I’ve seen what drug addiction has done to the people of our state and the people of our city,”....

What city is “our city” for OweMalley? Annapolis? If he means Baltimore, someone should smack that clown upside the head. It was his policies while he was mayor of Baltimore that allowed that city to become one of the heroin capitals of the US. That, along with his invitation for illegals to move in, is among his crowning mayoral achievements. Lordy, how I loathe that creep.
I am not in favor of legalization, but, as someone said upthread, Lil’ Marty and Hoyer are probably being paid by the drug cartels to keep the drugs illegal and, therefore, expensive.
It’s virtually impossible to keep kids from anything.But for kids trying to get booze unless it’s from mom and dads liquor cabinet they’re not often successful getting served in a bar or liquor store. Drugs laws certainly aren’t keeping it from them now. Kids find a way to get alcohol and cigarettes. Would outlawing those two things prevent them from getting it? Prohibition didn’t stop anyone from drinking. I understand the basic conservative principal but does taxing, say, coffee create less of it? Competition is what holds down prices.And as far as a good laugh I couldn’t think of anything funnier than you.
Then bring back alcohol prohibition and outlaw cigarettes. The drug war has been going on now for one hundred years. At this point what is the standard for failure? Drugs are ultimately a question of money. Get control of the money and then you’ll get control of the problem. But prohibition certainly works well for the drug dealers as prohibition did for Al Capone.
So making it worse by making it easier is a good response?
MY laws?
sorry to be so late, haven’t been keeping up
I really don’t remember the subject for which you attacked me, but I have to say, if you aren’t a lib, you are well on your way.
The insults and attacks are completely unnecessary and point to a person who really wants his comments to be relevant but fails completely.
Good luck with your next screed and have a good day.
