Couldn’t have said it better myself. Leave these kids alone and go chase the real drug dealers and violent criminals. Our system is a hypocritical monster.

Just legalize the crap. I don’t smoke it but I bet alcohol has destroyed more families than marijuana has. Plus, think of all the tax dollars we wouldn’t have to spend on housing these dingdongs and the tax dollars made from a new industry.

Thanks to Prohibition, we now have a far higher percentage of our own citizens locked in cages than any other nation on the whole planet. Apart from the fact that these extra prisoners are not contributing economically to society, it also costs 50,000 dollars per annum to incarcerate them. Additionally, their families often go on government assistance, leaving the average tax payer to pick up the bill. Their kids may also be taken into care, or raised by foster parents—again with our money. Now add to all this: the court costs, jail costs, and the salaries of all those people that have to deal with the enforcement of prohibition—like police officers, judges and public defenders—and you’ll start to get a fair idea of why “Black Thursday” (October 24, 1929) happened during the period of another of our great experiments: Alcohol Prohibition (1919-1933)
