Your kid is MOST LIKELY going to do some drugs......chances are, they will be okay, and they will grow out of it....But if they happen to get caught with drugs, do you want them driven home by the cops (with a stiff fine) so that you can deal with it, or tossed in jail and charged with a felony?

Kids get caught regardless of how smart or cool they are....so every time a parent stands up for stiffer drugs laws, I always secretly hope their teen gets caught with some E tabs and then they will see how a criminal charge makes that college scholarship pipe dream vanish.

The fact that marijuana isn't completely legal for adults to grow/use/possess is completely insane. There is NO rational argument against legalization. None. All have been obliterated. There is nothing left but the lies.

There is no debate.....Countries that have decriminalized hard drugs are making headway. They have less crime, and fewer criminals in jail. They also have fewer young people using drugs; the average hard drug addict is MUCH older in those countries.

Denmark has CLOSED prisons lately. CLOSED. While the Harper gov't has plans to build a series of super prisons, just like the USA....Wow.

It's so transparent that it amazes me nobody ****ing gets it. In the US, their for-profit/private prisons are also contracted out to manufacture a lot of machine shop type military supplies (body armour, shell casings, etc). So basically the weapons manufacturers are getting FREE labor from all the packed prison populations. Instead of moving jobs overseas, they just created a slave labor force. Mostly out of black and hispanic drug offenders.

This isn't conspiracy nutjob stuff either....it's all right out in the open.
Really good post, well said.
