Anything that is a natural plant, herb grown in US should be legalized. I don't think the government should have any say or profit from anything that is natural. I mean what's next, can't tap maple trees because the sugar is bad for the teeth? I don't think pot should be commercially produced necessarily but think it should be legal to grow your own for personal consumption.
Does that mean we can start growing poppy in the Appalachians? We thought business was good from reefer, that won't be nothing compared to heroin.
Yeah it does.
If a person wants drugs, their going to get them. I'd rather they grew their own whatever than buy if from god knows where and steal my stuff to pawn at the pawn shop for $20.00 to get it.
At a very young age we know what works for us and what doesn't and anyone who makes the choice they are going to do a addictive drug they are going to do it. Peroid.
They can go to the medicine man and get them a prescription for an addictive drug or they can buy it from the drug cartels or they can grow their own.
Locking people up in jail for drugs is not working. We are paying trillions of dollars to lock up drug addicts so that when they get out they go back to the same old thing.
We were having the discussion the other day about money going to the school for this and for that and some of you don't support any more money going into the schools. What about all the dagone money that goes into housing drug addicts. I'd much rather support education rather than drug enforcement.
If drugs were legal it would be more likely that the drug addict would only hurt theirself rather than the rest of us. That may sound harsh but it is my opinion that your never going to stop someone from doing what they want to do. You can spend all the money and man hours you want and you will never stop drug abuse.
