My being called a leftist is so ludicrous it's almost funny. OTOH, if you're a practicising Nazi like paret, it may look that way. Sniffing glue is illegal. GREAT! Let's make GLUE illegal too! After all, if it's available, kids WILL sniff it. And heroin is not the same as coffee. And pot is not the same as coffee. Or alcohol. Alcohol is more damaging than either. Which should be illegal? Even the drug advocates should be able to admit that one drug does not equate to another. You're right. Now explain to me why alcohol is legal. Whether you like it or not, regardless of any arguments you come up with against pot or heroin (heroin, were it legal, would have a legitimate medicinal use, BTW- -it's a good painkiller) you are STILL stuck with the consequences of your decisions. You interdict the supply? The price goes up, the dealers and suppliers make greater profits, and more ways are found around your blockades. You actually LIKE paying $60K a year to keep a lowlife in a cell doing nothing useful when the federal deicit is out of control? You can't think of better uses for that money? Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.
