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.

Decriminalize ALL drugs. Stop making it profitable for the criminal to
sell drugs, the drug users will find it if it is legal or not.

Sell all drugs thru a pharmacy, and tax it so we can take that money and
pay for drug education. No one has not used a drug because it was illegal.

Prostitution should be decriminalized. If legalized, prostitutes should
be required to report regularly and frequently for medical tests/exams.

Possession of small amounts of pot for personal use should be
decriminalized. Same for possession of small, personal amounts of some
other drugs. Decriminalized drugs should be sold at low prices by
licensed retailers

It would be easy to agree with legalization until you put it into the
perspective of your own children having easy and legal access to
cocaine or pot. Long term users of both seem to suffer negative
consequences and certain personality types are prone to dependence.
We've already got legal alchohol and although very few would want a
repeat of prohibition, there is no disputing the high cost to society
of alchohol abuse. Do we really want easy and legal access to two
more substances with the same potential?

I know there are a lot of people growing their own weed but cocaine
has to be illegally smuggled, distributed and sold. I would hope
that the taint of serious illegality would discourage at least some
people.

I understand there are people in Texas doing life for the possession
of small ammounts of weed.

In the case of cocaine, I think the taint of illegality is a big part
of the attraction. The mystique is just about the only reason I can
think of for someone to pay $100 a gram for this stuff (usually to get
laid). As a drug the powder is really a pretty mild thing. It is
certainly a heart stimulant but if you snorted pure caffeine (or
smoked it) I imagine the effect would be similar.

I also think the problem is addictive personalities, not the drug
itself and you would actually end up with about the same number of
people addicted to something, no matter how many different chemicals
were around.
I do know a lot of abusive drunks who are less danger to society when
they just smoke pot.

As our friend a Federal prosecutor told me. We have not slowed down the
import of drugs over the years. And they reason we know that is the price
has not risen. Supply is keeping up with demand. So we might as well tax
and regulate the trade.
