Plain hemp materials alone would generate so many new companies and jobs, not to mention the smokeable stuff, the tax alone would really help the economy and the prison population would be reduced by 75%
Saying you pay for it with extra law enforcement isn't a very good point considering the amount of time and resources involved for a single arrest of possession. As far as the other drugs you listed, you are putting apples with oranges. And also I think they should all be legalized. It should be up the user if they want to use or not. Statistics show that when drugs are legalized use goes down. The number one killer in this country is heart disease, yet I don't see crap food being illegal, and I don't see exercise being being required.Society abuses what is legal now. And you pay for it with extra law enforcement, higher insurance premiums, etc. I really see little need to add even more options to the abuse list. What about heroin, LSD, PCP, crack? Make those legal too? Come on, grow up. And yes your kids would be able to buy it.
Too late for that. It seems like anytime you go to the doctor they try and shove pills down your throat. Our bars are full everynight. Our coffee shops are full every morning.Spin it any way you want. Personally, I don't want to live in a drug cultured society.
