Epicurus,
You're being overly dramatic.
I did NOT state that I don't care about the people whose lives have been devastated by the war against drugs; I'm fully aware of the damage it has caused. What I said is that I don't care about the kids who get locked away in juvie for a week or two, and learn a hard lesson in the process. Do I agree with that approach to the issue? Not at all. But kids know better; they shouldn't be smoking pot anyway.
Can we agree?
The war against drugs is a terrible waste of resources, one that continues to be supported by BOTH major parties. This is not the Dem vs Rep issue that Topspin makes it out to be. If we want reform, we're going to have to elect Libertarians and Greens to national office, or sensible people like Ron Paul.

the tax could pay for fee healthcare and college for everyone.
I was mentioned that to my congressman who was at a campaign meet n greet. I asked him with pot being less dangerous than either alcohol and tobacco why didn't they legalize it? He gave a good answer, he said "Christ! We have enough problems with alcohol and tobacco.
Do everyone a favor and fuck off, you sick freak.
I see no Democrats passing laws to change it either.
Because Americans are prude.
As far as I can tell.

Cause as I state earlier, they have enough problems with alcohol being legal and all those consequences. They don't need to make things more difficult then they all ready are.
If they legalize it, they have to regulate it. If they have to regulate it they need to create an infrastructure to enforce the regulations. Then they have to address the health problems and social consequences of legalizing it. Considering they all ready have enough head aches of these nature I can understand why those in government have little, if any, incentive to legalize it.
tho
yeah, like jessie helms
the reps have turned their backs on non-whites in recent decades

try looking at what happens when the government makes illegal what the people want, even if they are hypocrites about it, like prohibition worked real well to suppress alcohol
there are too many people that go to church on sunday but feel free to sin the other 6 days of the week

pot was made illegal for the following reasons:
prohibition was just over and the liquor industry did not want the competition;
hearst had paper mills set up to make paper from wood pulp when the residue left over from extracting thc from the cannabis plant or using the fiber from male plants;
cotton growers did not want competition from male cannabis plant fiber - note that the fda and usda keep male pot plants from being grown because of the minuscule amount of thc in the plant;
it is too cheap to grow so there is little profit in legal pot;
too many people are hypocrites about drugs - same reason for prohibition
