Cough cough cough cough.  LOL

I'm going to have to look up Jaffa cakes, I have no idea what the hell they are.  Now I have heard of Alice B. Toklas.

OK looked it up.  Not quite the same thing.

Legalise weed and prog rock may come back in a big way! Either that or everyone would just sit around in their pants eating Jaffa cakes all day...

The laws sometimes have unintended consequences.  Alcohol prohibition was very profitable for the mob in this country.  The Mexican drug gangs are prospering with illegality of other psychoactive substances.

You can try to lock everyone up.  We have record incarcerations for drug offenses in this country already.  There is another way:

A decade ago Portugal took a radical new approach to illegal drugs by treating users as people with social problems rather than as criminals

I'm not only in favor of legalizing pot, but they should actually legalize everything.

There as an official research by the Callifornia government about that and, in the first year of legalization alone, there would be an increase of almost 3 billion dollars in tax money: stop spending 1.3 billion dollars with repression and gain 1.5 billion dollars with marijuana taxes.

Besides, statiscally, drug legalization lead to less consuption and less drug-related problems. Just see the Netherlands and PORTUGAL.

Another massive benefit would be that HEMP would then be legal.


...hemp is legal

List of Pros:
Less people in jail, Less prisons, less prison guards, less parole officers, clear up logged jam court agendas,  less money spent on enforcement,  creates new local jobs and businesses, curtails some of the drug wars in Mexico, gets rid of dangerous illegal growers in national parks and wild lands, some medicinal benefits for cancer patients and others with chronic pain and a growth of public tax revenues both from tax on the product and less government spending. 

All of these actually benefit most everybody. 

List of Cons:
Some people will abuse and hurt others (i.e. traffic accidents) some people will get hurt on the job being under the influence,  smart people become stupid,  some people will wreck their jobs, marriages and other relationship through abuse, "What were we just talking about?" type of questions becomes a big problem in communicating.

All of these are consequence of individual decisions and actions. 

No brainer to me.  It is on the ballot in California to legalize it this year and I am voting yes. 

I agree with that decision.

Pros: People would be free to own their own bodies. People would be free from arbitrary government imprisonment and fines. The black drug-market would take a large hit and lives would be saved.

Cons: None
