[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 589568, member: 483"] Why does anyone think that anything would change if they were legal? You think the cartels would just pack up, go home, get educations and office jobs? You think Mexico is just going happily grow a new export market? You think they could even if they wanted to? Sorry. The cheap, untaxed, unregulated, cartel drugs will still flow over the border. The Fed will still wage their drug war for the same reasons they do now. Cartel drugs will still be in high demand. You think the Fed would consider just legalizing them and allowing every TN redneck with an acre of weeds to start producing completely unregulated? That's not even part of the debate. And even if it was, it would only be for a few years before some college kid got some sort of poisoning from some sort of fungus they got in a joint grown on some idiot's land where he was feeding his cows glowing green grapes or some ****. There would be commercials with a cute little vegetable-girl in a motorized wheelchair typing her message to the audience with a Stephen Hawking voice saying, "Unregulated drugs did this to me. Don't be a victim. Support the Marijuana Industry Regulation Bill during this fall's election cycle." Then the public will be screaming for regulation again. How is that TN redneck going to compete with the cartels then? Just like we can't compete in the labor market due to regulation now, we wouldn't be able to compete in the drug market. I agree, the fed shouldn't be able to tell me what I can or can't put in my own body. On the other hand, if they legalize drugs all they are doing is bringing the users out into the open, intermingling them with productive members of society. In that case, the Fed shouldn't be able to tell a non-user how they are allowed to protect their body from harm either. If I suspect an obvious drug user may wish to inflict harm upon me or mine, I should be able to preemptively extinguish that user without fear of legal repercussion. That user has already devalued his own life anyway. The logic test should be this simple: Did perp test positive postmortem? If yes, no trial or suits allowed. If no, proceed legally as usual. That would be the only way I could support legalizing. Otherwise it's just more of the fed protecting the vampires over the productive members and getting more money and power in the process.
