>>I’m sure hes not doing it for the money. Total sarcasm.<<

It is legal and a legitimate source of income.

I have no problem with this decision.

The WOD is the 2nd stupidest war ever (the War on Poverty being the 1st).

If we were to legalize drugs we would save trillions of dollars and see crime drop by 50% or more — both inside of a month.

Oh, yeah - that’s all we need is millions of more Americans walking around stoned. That should definitely have a happy ending. /s

Exactly like China did in the 1840s. Oh, wait...

Sarcasm lately huh?

The use of drugs recreationally is the issue. Even if the “WOD” was surrendered, crime would continue- fiends still would be broke and thieving for dope, idiots would still cook meth in the tub, teens would still eat tide pacs, because it just is. Suddenly, all the illicit dope growers/processors/shippers/dealers /users would pay Uncle Sam taxes? USFDA inspections, quota production? You may have been smoking something too long friend.

every lucrative legit business is subject to illegal actions, the mob etc did not just do illegal stuff, they just did stuff illegally.

“WOD is the 2nd stupidest war ever (the War on Poverty being the 1st).”

Both part of a bigger war: the war on individual liberty.

Conservatives belief in law and order makes them suckers for big government intrusion - they get confused - since big government uses laws to take away our rights, and they support law - they don’t know which side to be on.

So you have so-called conservatives joining with big government of all things! It’s sad.

There’s nothing conservative about prohibition - whether it’s alcohol, drugs or guns. We are capable of making our own choices in life - the people that make up the government are people just like us, no better, no wiser, no more moral than we individuals are.

Conservatives should be the people who understand this and fight against government intrusion - but all too often they pick the big government side.

Sometimes I think Rand Paul is the only one left in DC that really gets it.

And we'd save mega bucks on education...Those who did make it to school wouldn't learn anything anyway...May as well shut them down...

And what about those millions of people who will get hooked on those drugs because they are now legal...When they can no longer afford them ya think they'll just quit???
