this is likely why prohibition still exists. I don't think you can create wealth you must transfer it and those that have the cash flow now will not give it up without a fight. from the massive prison unions to the "more police on the street" mantra pols to the obscene amounts of cash going to drug cartels and the crooked polititians they hold in their pockets like loose change, I have come to the conclusion that Bill Marr is right. The federal gov't is not your nanny it is your drug dealer. :wtf:
boaz Reviewed by boaz on . Argument In Favor Of Legalizing Pot Builds A recent article in this space was titled ??The price of legalizing pot is too high.? Ignoring our past national experience with alcohol prohibition, the author opined as to how an ??open market? causes greater harm. We obviously need our government ( not the one we formed in Sacramento as an independent California Republic ) to mandate what??s good for us. Another article offered the oft-heard sophism that pot along with alcohol is one of the ??gateway? drugs to meth and heroin. Rating: 5
