> No way… Crime rates would soar…Has anyone considered that the reason that people committed a crime was because they were ON drugs in the first place - legal or not? That they weren’t necessarily committing a crime to get illegal drugs, but the drugs themselves caused a violent behavior which lead them to committing a crime - something that would not have happened if they had not TAKEN drugs? In actuality, crime will rise when drugs are legal because more people will be taking drugs.

Then why does the Netherlands have a lower drug usage rate than we do? Look at prohibition, and all the bull shit that caused- legalizing a drug thats less harmful than alcohol is a bad idea?

a whole lot of people would lose their jobs if narcotics were legalized. police officers, prison faculty, dea agents, public defenders, ect. these people are depending on you, the tax payer, to feed their families and pay for their big screen TV’s and SUV’s. they need these jobs to continue the war on drugs. declared on your family members, your neighbors, your community, your country.
support the war effort…dont be unpatriotic…support the war on the people of the united states of america. :bloated:

they’ll lose their jobs? no. even if they did, they could get into the rehab industry. the DEA and 5-0 could spend more time cracking down on cocaine. that’s the drug we should be worrying about. cocaine is the new weed.
legalizing weed would make it less appealing. the clout about april 20th would go away, and people would act less idiotic and annoying about it in general. i swear to god, some people are so immature about it that it makes me want to puke.
if anything, they should get tougher on alcohol. people act like fucking morons on the booze. i used to hate weed more than alcohol, but it’s just the opposite now. it’s pathetic how dependent we are on alcohol to have “fun”. everything is centered around it when it comes to entertainment. a large majority of people in this country don’t know how to have fun without drinking. it’s pathetic. KEGSTANDS!!! WOOO!!! fuck that shit.
on an unrelated note, fuck this state. what a peice of shit.
