The loser who shot those women at that gym was frustrated cuz he
couldn't get any sex. I wonder how ,many other crimes are committed
by frustrated losers. If prostitution was legal, I think we'd have a
much calmer society.
Likewise, many illegal drugs should be totally legal. Pot is mostly
harmless but we put people in prison for it, what madness and waste of
money. How many lives are lost due to pot being illegal? Cocaine
should also be legal for similar reasons.
Drug enforcement is a huge business and helps feed the prison-
industrial complex. This is not a Liberal vs Conservative issue
because both sides have vested interests in keeping the huge drug
enforcement industry and prison industry going.
It's a case of too many laws and not enough good sense.

I could go with the pot legality, but don't think I'm ready to do the
same for cocaine yet. I think cocaine is too addictive too rapidly.

Maybe the legalization of pot would lower the demand for cocaine.
Right now you're illegal either way, so folks may be tempted to get
the most bang for their illegal buck.

It would be interesting to give it a try.
