Pot comes out of the closet.......hopefully not a dupe dude.

A Cato study says legalizing drugs would save the U.S. about $41 billion a year in enforcing the drug laws.

I knew that Cato was good for something around here other than showing off his latest guitar acquisition!

Time for me to go take a few hits!

The more I learn about how politics really works you start to see certain people don't want to fix problems or waste. They are making too much money off the problems. With things like Iran-Contra and the CIA selling smack during the Vietnam War it makes you wonder how much of the drug trade is sponsored by our own government? That would explain part of the reason border security is lax and then someone makes money off the private prisons and chasing the drug dealers. I don't think anyone is really all that serious about stopping drugs. Probably the only way to come close to stopping it would be to shoot anyone selling drugs and anyone using them and make them pay for their own bullet. That's the Chinese way of dealing with the problem and even at that, there would still be an underground market going on. People jsut want them that bad.

[Hardrock69]

Uh.....how much money is generated simply by making drugs ILLEGAL?

And WHO, exactly, made these drugs against the law?

You are absolutely correct, Nitro.

The DEA and DOJ have no answer for Colorado and Washington yet on their pot legalization....because the Feds have to figure out a politically expedient answer, while saving the budgets of their ongoing MASSIVE FAIL War on Drugs. They are afraid of their funding disappearing. If not so much due to CO and WA, then eventually when other states begin to follow suit.

Talk to anyone who works in an emergency room and they will all tell you they see way more problems related to alcohol than pot. Alcohol kills a lot of people and a huge of amount of problems are linked to it. People got fed up with it and made it illegal and it just resulted in gang wars and gangsters that became so rich they became very powerful. Finally they just made it legal again.

Basically you can go to the liquor store, and buy booze that you know won't make you go blind, and the government gets the tax money. Sure it still kills people, wreaks homes, and destroys people but people want it and by making it illegal, you empower a bunch of criminals.

Legalizing pot is a no brainer. It's safer to society than alcohol is. Also, it allows people who want it for medical reasons to have some.

It's a grass roots movement. Literally. A movement to legalize grass.

No kidding it's a no brainer... Honestly, in the last 40 years has anyone ever read a news article that read... "A fatal accident occurred on highway XXX. Two people were killed and 3 seriously injured. State Police suspect marijuana was a contributing factor in the crash." For that matter you can't find virtually any references to weed related deaths. It's impossible to overdose on it.

I did a simple search on the web and there's nothing out there... only one reference that I saw but there was no supporting facts indicated that the CDC reports 1-2 deaths annually in the US related to pot.

Also it's a load of bullshit that marijuana is an enabling drug that leads to other illegal drug use. I'd say that's only a result of the idiots who outlawed it in the first place... so acquiring it puts you within the realm of the criminal world of illegal drugs. The weed doesn't drive people to move on to heroin, coke, crank, etc... the need for weed sends you to the same store. You don't see any correlation of people drinking beer graduating up to being heroin junkies do ya..?

I can honestly say that the only thing that ever happened to me driving stoned was that I got lost on a road that was less than two miles from where I grew up. Still don't know how that happened. But it sure beats passing out drunk and waking up just in time to steer your car out of a ditch.
