Yes sir, that is my position.

I just found this thread and haven't gotten through all 7 pages, so if this is old news, I apologize.
I will believe it, and applaud it, if/when it happens.
I found this ironic" "There will be no congressional earmarks," Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., and Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., said Monday in a statement announcing their plans, which were quickly endorsed by incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D- Nev.

Talk about putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
BTW, the Democrats controlled Congress at the time.

That's because alcohol is cheap and readily available. If drugs were legal, they'd be cheap and readily available so stealing your stereo wouldn't be as much of a concern either. Take the risk out of selling drugs and you'll take the bulk of the cost out of them as well. Add to that, more space in prisons for real criminals, less court time and the benefits keep mounting. The downside is that crack addicts will still be crack addicts. Same old, same old.

Like I said, I have no problem with the legalization of drugs, the only problem I foresee is a cry from the left to use my tax dollars to support all these baseheads after they have ruined thier lives.

I'd perfer homeless. There's less incentive for them to procreate.

I'm a firm beoiever in legalizing drugs and requiring self-determination. Want to get high? Fine, but you won't get a dime of my money should you decide to do so is my philosophy.

Half the people in federal prison are there on drug charges. You are already paying for it... that is fact.

The problem you fear is based on speculation.

Most baseheads are very good at getting their own money. They are very productive because cocaine is a performance enhancing drug.

that sure would be nice, but ill believe it when i see it. what ever the dems do im sure it will be an improvment from the republicans which spent like drunken sailors...tomc

funny you brought that up,when out founding fathers wrote the constitution they had set forth a message to the future leaders to call a conference together of delegetes from all states to revise and rewrite the constitution so it could better service the american people. now over two hundred+ years later still no constitutional delegation, just one patch job after another(amendments). maybe this is what our country needs,with every proposal out for all to read and ask there reps for clearafication....tomc

robert, im afraid they would get your money and everyone elses money. who do you think would pay the goverment to creat or harvist the drugs,us the tax payer. congress would turn into one big stonerd convention. crews flying the plan your on , put the plane on autopilot and get stoned ,why not its legal...tomc

And what would you call LBJ's $7Trillion War on Poverty? Spending like a drunken fleet?

Ah tomc, alcohol is legal. Where are all the drunken pilots?
If anybody had incentive to stay sober, it'd be a pilot. He sits in the nose of that giagantic bullet and is the first one killed when it hits the ground.
