That's why we need to legalize ALL drugs.<br /><br /> Of course, the cartels, being organized for their economic benefit, will seek other ways to make money. Since they most likely cannot compete in the legal world, they will still try to find illegal commodities. If they cannot find a way to make money, they will shrivel up and die. <br /><br />In this case they might take an entire nation down the tubes. Just how much of the Mexican economy is tied up in illegal drugs could spell the death of that nation.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299704149790677041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-33635867027299498402013-04-09T02:25:18.082-07:002013-04-09T02:25:18.082-07:00One point that has not been made yet which is the ...One point that has not been made yet which is the main reason that pot has not been made legal is that there is no test for it that can conclusively tell WHEN it was used. If you get stopped for DUI, there are tests to tell if you are or are not over the legal limit--not so for pot. You may have stoked one up 15 minutes ago, or maybe it was last weekend---no way to tell when. Same for workplace usage, no way to know if it was while you were on break, or was it 2 days ago that you got high---no way to tell.<br /><br />To answer your question Z, yes I am for legalization. Give the government something to spend some money on, coming up with better testing. It won't take long.<br /><br />Tax it and treat it just like beer. It'll be cheaper than it is right now, and a ton of crime will go away quick.

Would you prefer a local farmer's market, or maybe your hairdresser can sell the stuff?<br /><br />It doesn't make any difference. Medical marijuana is just an excuse for most people in Cali and other medical pot states to smoke the stuff for enjoyment. Legalizing the stuff takes the crime out of it, but not the stupidity.<br /><br />The same applies to all the other illegal drugs. Milton Friedman had a fascinating case for legalizing all drugs. It just makes sense. Like COF said, earlier, there is a literal trail of blood from US cities to the rest of the western hemisphere, and it is getting worse.<br /><br />Legalizing drugs will present new problems, but certainly not thousands of people being murdered for the stuff. Once stuff becomes legal and available, there's no reason for people to pay hoods for their high.<br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665311979954859271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-76598166579961622882013-04-08T22:38:37.560-07:002013-04-08T22:38:37.560-07:00Const.
