By the way, what ever happened to state rights ? The Feds seem to be the only ones resisting sensible changes in drug policy...oh wait, that's right, they are making too much money off of it to make it legal ! Sure helps getting those non-violent "criminals" (aka minorities and slackers) off the streets and into cheap labor camps too.
Nope, can't stop now...might make them look foolish to admit they were wrong these last 100 years or so...all those families they split up, and college kids with bright futures, who end up in prison for 20 years from indulging at a Pink Floyd show. Yeah, GREAT laws...gotta protect us against ourselves...it's the American way. Just ask Ed Markey !
By they way, somebody better let the CIA know about these "illegal" drugs !
I think those Columbians and Contras are a bad influence on our good 'ol honest, law abiding boys in the CIA...yeah, right !
Something like 50% of High Schoolers have tried an illegal drug....I think it's around 30% who have used an illegal drug recently. Better get ready to write a big fat tax check to Uncle Sam to pay for those prisons we're gonna need. No sense wasting all that money on education, no...these people are EVIL CRIMINALS !
Putting it in perspective:

Interesting...the *Republican* governor of New Mexico supports legalizing pot, and "harm reduction" stratagies concerning other drugs. I guess those republicans aren't ALL clueless after all !

Right here in my home state: "In February, a Wisconsin state poll reported that 80 percent of voters favored legalizing medicinal marijuana to qualified patients." Good 'ol Wisconsin. It's not perfect, but at least some of that progressive spirt remains.
Looks like the anti-drug clan are the ones who have a cloud of smoke obstructing their view of reality...
VOTE LIBERTERIAN -Ed Thompson for WI Gov in 2002 !
Ok, This has gotten off topic enough. I'll stop before Jeff gets upset. I think I've made my point, and done it well. Too bad I'm preaching upon deaf ears for the most part. Wake up people !!!
