“Last year in Oregon, there were 13,000 citations and arrests for marijuana,” he says in the ad. “That takes time, time better spent solving murders, rape cases, finding missing children. The system’s broken.” [...]

What a crime! Unregulated horticulture!
The Horrors! Why they deserve to have their doors kicked in in the middle of the night, pets and family shot on site! How dare a subject decide for them self what drugs or treatments they want!
The kings men will decide that for them for the right payment of course!

I predict the lesson will be that it went as well as ending Prohibition did, and that further legalizations are the way to go.

Have you read your own tagline? Who has standing to tell you what you can put in your body? To whom do you give such authority?

You are an idiot. Legalizing those drugs will make America into a loser nation. All our rivals and economic competitors are with you on legalizing all drugs... and making America stoned and weaker and stupider.
And the welfare state will get more entrenched because these stoners will vote Democrat for the freebies

I would say it would save some dogs. SWAT units routinely light the dog up first thing, if the dog does not respond to the flash bang.
All part of the WOD.
The cure for the WOD is worse than the disease.
FWIW, I worked a fed level drug and gang task force for roughly five years. We arrested alot of people, tapped alot of phones, but in the end we didn’t make a damn bit of difference.

Legalizing those drugs will make America into a loser nation.Legalizing the drugs didn't make America into a loser nation. What makes you think that millions of your fellow citizens are deterred by the illegality of drugs yet would be undeterred by the inherent risks of drugs?
