"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
There's No Reason To Fear Legalized Drugs
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2011-07-02 03:00
Compared to the legacy of the Drug War - violence, civil asset forfeiture, the rise of junkies - the decriminalization of all drugs could not possibly be worse.

"Decriminalization" is NOT the same as "legalization." Decrim merely means no prison time for possession or use, and usually stipulates arbitrary "for personal use" amounts that have no relation to reality and can only be verified by the same ol' same ol' methods of spying, invading, violating and robbing currently in use by drug warriors. AND since decrim normally keeps selling illegal, and if all I can legally possess is what I can use in one day, all you've done is increase profits for my local dealer, who is still breaking the law, and the violence continues.
The only people who fear legalization are the people who make their livings destroying other people's lives and the people who worship at the feet of those who would be gods.
