Over 300 Economists Agree: It’s Time to Legalize Marijuana

[Warren DeMontague]

17. I doubt it.

The real problem is, $$$ entrenched interest$$$ enjoy the $$ drug war $$$ gravy $$$ train too much $$$$$.

It'll happen. Actually, the problem for pro-legalization people isn't a lack of enthusiasm, it's been a lack of candidates willing to stand up to say that it's time to end the insanity. When candidates DO stand up for legalization, that position ALONE is often enough to get them into office, or at least give them far more votes than they would have had otherwise (see Ventura, Jesse... or Paul, Ron)

The waning enthusiasm gap is actually on the part of the people FOR the drug war, at least the ones who aren't enjoying the lucrative never ending money and treasure bath that falls out from the fun and profitable act of pissing away $60 Billion a year in taxpayer dollars to throw cancer ridden grannies in prison for smoking a joint. Those 30 of the 40 you talk about? 29 of the 30 will drop it when you remind them that THEY have to pay for prohibition.
