It will take the courage of the police officers, states attorneys, and judges to end this blight on American history. If we could have taken half of the 500% increase of public investment in the criminal justice system and invested it in American industry, and training Americans to fill those jobs.....this country would be facing a vibrant economy, and T would not have to post those intrusions of government into the lives of each of us as innocent victims to this self made police state.....it is time to end prohibition 2.....

Drugs are one of the most important facets of our economy.The legal ones keep us alive and the illegal ones provide millions and millions of dollars in salaries to law enforcement.

Illegal drugs provide millions of dollars in salaries? Cops don't get to keep what they take from the dope dealers. They should though. Addiction and vice creates the economic boom created by illegal drugs. Until there is a real penalty for selling and using illicit substances, like in say Saudi Arabia where dope dealers are executed, it will continue to grow.

Yeah, that's the answer.

Go nuclear in the war on drugs.

If there is no supply, there is no addiction. Pretty simple. And again, there is little to no illicit drug use in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I recommend seeing an addiction counselor at Lakeview and educating yourself.

I am talking about police jobs, lawyers, clerical people, judges. PB, If it wasn't for drug dealers to chase down there would thousands of cops looking for jobs. I am not preaching for drugs they kill thousands every year. Just saying.

And you are RUDE. What is the point in being rude.
Is it your own type of Viagra?

I agree about execution.
Selling Heroin is like killing someone.. So execute them and they won't come back.

The point is to ridicule the ridiculous, Petunia.

My mother taught me early on not to suffer fools.

Sorry if it offends your tender sensibilities.

I don't need Viagra, old man.

There is more crime than just drugs my friend.

Exactly what they thought when they passed Prohibition.
And it didn't stop drinking like they'd planned, pacedog. All it did was create the same kind of underworld of organized crime that the prohibition on marijuana has given us.

We are damned if we do and we are damned if we do not. If we legalize drugs to provide revenue to feed our greed the money we spend in law enforcement will shift to healthcare, rehabilitation, and programs for the drug addict. Just because we legalize drugs does not mean organized crime that supplies the drugs is going to go away. Over time it should curb violence committed by organize crime since they should start to dwindle away once their cash crop dries up. That is assuming that they do not move heavily into other criminal activities to generate cash like kidnapping, extortion, prostitution, human trafficking. We will still have crimes committed by drug addicts needing to provide for their addiction. We will increase the availability of drugs to children. Sure we have laws stating you have to be 21 to purchase but lets be real if a 15yo wants alcohol they can get it relatively easy.

If we continue down the same road we are on you know what that gets us, it moves us closer to a police state. Law enforcement relies heavily on monies used to fight drugs. Just look how Escambia and Santa Rosa counties budgets have expanded in the last 20 years. Look at all the neat toys law enforcement has been able to buy because of the money they get to fight the war on drugs. It is a sad truth but illegal drugs increase law enforcement budgets and they are always wanting more money.

I am all for legalizing marijuana, it is non addictive and no worse than cigarettes. We need to change but we have to put more thought into how we change or we can have a bigger mess than we do now.

Legalize all drugs and let the chips fall...the problem will fix itself...attrition....Massive quantities of processed and chemically enhanced food is legalized and obese people are dying in droves....horrible lingering deaths losing every penny they have accumulated and might have left to their children to the medical system in a desperate effort to restore them to a miserable existence where they can't even wipe their butts....so why not let people see what drugs can do just like they see what adulterated food can do...My parents both smoked like freight trains and both died from it early on....I saw that and won't touch a cigarette...

You will never convince the "reefer madness" crowd that legal marijuana is no worse than alcohol. And in the southern states where we live the reefer madness crowd will outnumber the rest of us for the foreseeable future.
So unless we're planning to relocate to the western states this discussion is all a moot point.

There is a story to how drugs became illegal. Pot has a particularly interesting one in this country that has little to do with its effects. I think you might enjoy it... major players like Hearst and his lumber monopoly and progressivism and how to manipulate public opinion.

I'm well aware of Hearst and his yellow journalism and his desire to eradicate hemp as an alternative to lumber. You use the word "progressive" as if it had some evil connotation, and you have yet to explain why.

Because it is govt solutions. It is using the govt to social engineer... it is force... it is authoritarian. Don't tread on me.

It beats the hell out of the financial sector stealing everything from people who work for a living. I'm not saying government is the answer...not by a long shot. But without government, where would we be? Government has a necessary function; unfortunately it's often bought off by private interests. The idea is government as watchdog. What we have now is government as enabler.
