Absolutely not. At least for a generation.

But it will be cheaper, and you'll have fewer people in prison.

How did prohibition work out?


You don't know

I'll tell you. Progressives (who pushed prohibition) claimed the jails would empty as drunks disappeared, but what happened is violent crime shot through the roof.

quote:

---

During Prohibition, violent crime increased due to gang-fueled violence, territorial disputes, and organized crime syndicates

The inner city violence is a byproduct of our drug appetite and drug prohibition.

Only dwarfed by the funding provided per bastard child, making deadbeat fathers nothing more than sperm donors, instead of responsible fathers, working and paying for their offspring, and teaching them respect for themselves and others.

Most do not have a Second Amendment right prohibiting the government from infringing on their right to keep and bear arms.

That has nothing to do with their lower violent crime rate.

The drug war costs more lives than drugs.

what a stupid statement. Just last year there were 108,000 overdose deaths in the US. That doesn’t include all the ancillary deaths caused by drugs. And that just in the US. You love making definitive statements from a place of complete ignorance.

Its fact. Between prison and death, the drug war is more costly than freedom.

I think you have problem distinguishing a fact from opinion. Don't worry, it's a common thing.

Of course you hate freedom, dont you?

Can you just stop with the stupid shite! There are problems with both prohibition and legalization but just quit with the theoretical crap.

Today we can and should take steps to make it harder for the cartels to get their product here. They have had it way to easy. It's that simple!

Do you have a better source? Sorry, but I'm skeptical of ANYTHING posted by that pinhead Eric Daugherty.

Your own government created this situation where Cartels profit.

They're going to argue with you no matter what. The fact that this statement is being argued says it all.

Freedom is legalization, with a massive expansion of government to oversee distribution and taxation of said freedom? How long before your "freedom" becomes a right, even for the poorest Americans, and therefore government provided for them, making the working poor, middle class, and wealthy pay ever more to provide that "freedom" to those who cannot afford to pay?

How long before the "freedom" is too expensive for the working poor and middle class, so their addiction dictates that they predate their fellow Americans, or resort to the same illicit sources your "freedom" was designed to destroy?
