Pat - the war on drugs doesn't limit itself to marijuana. If you legalize it, then what about the war on all the other drugs - do you think it will just go away? Legalizing marijuana would be just the beginning. Other illegal drugs would necessarily soon follow, otherwise the war on drugs would not go away and you wouldn't have accomplished anything.
Wrong - you'd have taken a big bite out of criminal profits by removing far and away the most popular currently illegal drug from the black market.
the new tack: if you legalize weed, you'll have to legalize it all
in my world, voters and individual common sense play a part in that process
if you think prohibition is for our own good, then why not outlaw alcohol and tobacco, those two drugs alone account for 93% of all drug related deaths...answer?
if you don't think alcohol and tobacco should be prohibited, then apparently we CAN be selective about which drugs are too dangerous to let go uncontrolled...
reminder...alcohol and tobacco are the sole cause of over 1,000,000 deaths per year...cannabis is the sole cause of ZERO deaths per year
anyone think this is about anything other than corporations, money, media indoctrination and managed morality?...then keep thinking
