Hatred of Cops and Support of Drug Legalization

[Aerows]

52. I support the police.

I couldn't tell the difference between a pot plant and a potted plant. I support the legalization of drugs because it seems absolutely dumb to me to make growing a plant illegal, yet pharmaceutical companies are free to charge exorbitant sums for dubious products and enjoy little to no liability.

I think we can all agree that people shouldn't have access to dangerous drugs - the problem is that far too many people disagree with what is actually a dangerous drug. How is something grown in a garden somehow more dangerous than some medications that desperately ill people rely upon for their quality of life?

It has NEVER been about public safety anymore than Prohibition was about public safety. It's about profit and profiteering. You have a handful of sanctimonious folk that think that somehow making a certain substance illegal will limit the availability of that substance, but the vast majority? They slather at the bit because it is a multi-trillion dollar industry with money obtained excise free in most cases and employs tens of thousands of people in the US alone.
