Of course, I know those things are happening now. IF the Government legalizes them, then the Government presumably will be responsible for the actions taken by those who are under the influence of the drugs. Go ahead....legalize drugs. And then be prepared to pay the human cost of the additional drugs used, AND the effects on others who are victims of the drug users, and this time with permission from the Government. I know considerably more than you would think about the whole sordid mess that is the drug culture. If it were up to me, for every drug dealer that is found to have more than $10,000 of street value drugs, the penalty should be jail for a minimum of 25 years. No time off good behavior. A second offense would be the death penalty. My guess is that we wouldn't have much problem with drugs anymore if the penalties were very stiff for any dealers found with them. They could move to the ME for all I care. They have laws that are much stricter than the ones I mentioned above.
