I said I was withdrawing, but I continued to read for a few days....I think I am the only voice on this thread who represents a contrary position Guys and gals, why don't you give the legalization of street drugs a rest??? Surely there are more important "rights" issues than focusing on this seedy one...your continued focus on this issue only confirms the perception when I came to this thread, which I had hoped to dispel, that the LP was a party of pot-heads, snorters, and shooters. Your emphasis should be on fighting the unjust laws and practices. Laws and practices that are unfairly placed on those accused of drug involvement. I believe a heroic effort is being made in the War on Drugs per se....I do not agree with un-constitutional law enforcement however....lets keep the first, and reform the second. There are so many issues that you could reach out to middle America, and become a majority party....if your intent is to redress the injustices attendant to the War on Drugs...then go after that...it is a valid point, and resonates well...........if you continue to advocate drug legalization, you will be constrained to a small minority....the only problem with being a minority is that you can only talk about the problems you would like to rectify, but are politically powerless to effect them.
