Legalize it and Tax it.
Actually, that number, as you used it, is probably 99%, or more. After all, they aren't in "drug and alcohol treatment" for something that is legal for them to obtain... since, you know, none of those substances are legal for them to have.Originally posted by: Genx87
Anybody find it interesting 65% of kids are in treatment because of an illegal drug?

The statement in the video was actually (paraphrased) "of the children who are in treatment for alcohol and drugs, 65% are in treatment for marijuana."
Anyway... I personally believe that the criminalization of marijuana is ridiculous.
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to test physiologically for "being high" during a traffic stop? If not, then at least that is one valid argument against legalization -- one of the very few.

I asked that question in a different thread. They are all for banning things they think are evil but attack their magic herb and look out!

Well, the reason why these law enforcement want to keep it illegal is because it's easy to bust pot uses and a lot of revenue come from pot. They know that the war on drugs isn't working but it's keeping these people in jobs.

The spokesman, who is obese, was talking about how we see people destroying their health with drug abuse. Abusing food is also terrible for your health, maybe he missed that memo?Originally posted by: Possessed Freak

I am not so certain that tobacco was a good example, there is a HUGE black market for it.Originally posted by: Dragula22
Is there a multi-billion dollar black market supplying illicit products for tobacco, trans fats, SUV's, fast food, etc., that is funding gang wars and violence? No?
Are we chasing our tails trying to enforce something unenforceable and wasting billions along the way?

I've gone back and forth on this whole legalization thing for awhile now. I'm good with MJ being legal but as far as the others I'm not really sure.
Let's say everything is legal tomorrow. We're taxing the hell out of it and making a 'killing'. What would happen to all of the drug dealers? There source of income is now gone. What would be the next big thing uneducated street dwellers would turn to for cash?
