As for the economics, from a purely financial standpoint, it's almost impossible for me to believe that given the costs of not only oncarceration, but also investigation and enforecement, AND the forsake sales tax revenue, thAt legalization, certainly of certain now-illegal drugs, wouldn't be a big net positive. But, of course, cost is just one piece of the puzzle.

I think it would stop a lot of heroin use if they let prisoners take the pot. Over here they say pot stays in your system for about a month, whereas heroine only stays in your system for a day or so, therefore, then, we take heroine rather than pot to avoid failing the random drug tests in jail. Pot heads often go in and come out real junkies.

OK gotcha. We just see things differently. I do agree with you correcting my wrong judgement of "under the influence" wouldn't be a criminal activity, I totally agree with you that it still could and probably would be under the fact that drugs would now be legal. My bad on that one.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

When the state adds marijuana businesses and strip clubs to the list of businesses where electronic benefits cards can’t be used then the potheads will not be able to buy any pot anyhow or go to a strip club.

I'm simply point out that to me, and for most people, saying that you think something should be legal is not the same as saying that it causes no harm and is fine. It's a very straightforward position; quite literally, the only possible disagreement with it is to take the position that everything that causes harm should be illegal.

I lost my 37 year old son this year. He hid his illness quite well and in every other way seemed to be a happy, well-adjusted successful adult. Of all my kids, he was the one that seemed to be the most 'together' and had the strongest will. He had been a high school wrestling star, put together his own kids wrestling team in Florida and had just returned from Kuwait. Turns out he was a heavy marijuana user and had had some severe paranoia issues. I strongly believe this contributed to the problems that caused him to take his life. |

Rockwell, may we offer our condolences. We have seen such things happen with our own eyes as times gone bye.
