That's happening anyway. There is a general disintegration of society. Legalizing drugs won't change that. I honestly believe that this "great experiment" is nearly at an end. And I believe that the "slippery slope" hastened it. 20 years ago, Obama would have NEVER been elected. But here we are with the chief socialist firmly ensconced in the WH.

While I agree with much of this, I think a lot of it is due to people expecting the government to do things that families should be handling themselves, and by launching the drug war, the parents were saying we need the government to raise our children for us, and protect them from these drugs. My grandfather's generation did not need to government to raise its children, which is why there was no large drug war until 1970.

Yeah. Right after the hippie revolution. *eyes rolling* A generation of spoiled brats. My generation.

The 60's did a lot of damage to our society.
