Really, MW, you need to catch up on the whole issue and why drug laws, at least most of them, are as wrong as can be, both on the science and the law.
Well, MW, you're entitled to oppose drug legalization and post any source that you wish to try to support that position, just as I'm entitled to support drug legalization and challenge your sources. What you might want to consider doing is challenging your sources and note for yourself, why opponents to drug legalization can't provide an accurate study or poll that actually supports their position? If studies are clearly wrong as in this case and as in the case of the FairTax, then perhaps there is no valid rationale for putting blacks in prison for smoking pot while whites roam free doing the very same at the very same rates, and perhaps there is no valid rationale for the income tax since it hasn't paid the bills in 102 years and was passed in 1913 to make up for tariff revenue losses when traitors then as we have traitors now were making it easier and cheaper to import foreign goods at the expense and loss of our own industries, workers and their revenues and incomes.Quote:

If you don't like drugs, don't use them. If you don't want your kids to use them, make sure they don't.
The people of Colorado made a personal freedom decision, one I support, one that I hope all states eventually see is in the best interest of their state-at-large. Watching disgruntled bureaucrats and former bureaucrats lie about a War on Drugs they lost before they started and continue to do so decades is just not something I'll turn the page on, so I'I do the work to research their sources and call them out when they are wrong.
This is just one of a few issues that you and I agree that we disagree on. It's not that I'm right all the time, I just do the research and work to find as much truth about something that there is to find and then I post it.
