I am not a drug user or advocate of drug use. So spare me the hateful emails to the contrary. That being said.......
As Americans we spend BILLIONS each year in alcohol and tobaco sales. Companies like Anheuser-Busch spend $10 million just for a 30-second slot during the Super Bowl to try and get you to buy their alcohol! And tobaco sales? In the BILLIONS! So why then does our government spend over $60 BILLION a year trying to keep you from smoking pot, snorting coke, and popping some little white pills with hearts on them? Honestly, what's the difference between people buying and absuing alcohol, and people buying and abusing pot, coke, or ecstasy? Seems to me that by legalizing drugs, not only will we save $60 billion a year or more, but we could actually MAKE billions on the taxation of drugs! This is in addition to putting drug cartels out of business and reducing crime by over 50% on average! Thoughts????
