As long as there is demand, there will be a supply to fill that demand. That’s what prohibitionists never seem to understand, and why no “war” against a substance will ever be won through prohibition.

We didn’t always have a drug problem, you know.

Demand used to be miniscule. If it were miniscule again, that would be tolerable.

Careful now....you're makin' too much sense.

You know....I could care less if some states passed laws that dealt with illicit drugs.....as long as other states could pass laws that made them available.

The problem is.....our federal government is not obeying the tenth amendment and has no authority in this area. This is how this stupid war has got out of hand.

If the folks in Nevada would like to smoke dope and shoot up.....fine. Pass a law that allows it! Then the junkies can all move there. If Delaware desires to continue making these types of drugs illegal....then "They" can deal with the pushers and all the problems that stem from a runaway Drug Enforcement Cadre.

Soon....you will see folks in Delaware realizing that other states (that allow state regulated marijuana and other types of drugs) have less of a tax burden, less Law Enforcers, less Court officials, less clogged dockets, less death by doing bad drugs (not up to pharmaceutical standards). And more importantly.....the folks in Delaware will see Nevadans buying their weekend "high" at Thrifty, Rexall and Rite-Aid.....instead of having to deal with the "Bloods and the Crips".....and maybe becoming pushers themselves to support their expensive habit.

Maybe.....just maybe the folks in Delaware will then see how stupid this "War On Drugs" really is.....and has been! But, the most important thing to come out of this will be a recognition of the Tenth Amendment and the fact our Federal Government is not obeying the Constitution.

No....I don't do drugs....never have. I do, although... believe in the Constitution.
