Of course if people just did some homework they would know already.

Over a trillion dollars and hundreds of thousands in jail and all people can do is cry for more funding.

Cannot you see that no amount of funding will ever be enough? Did not Prohibition teach you anything? A full-blown police state won’t stop it. As if the last 3 decades of the highest incarceration rate in the world and perpetually-overcrowded prisons aren’t enough evidence to convince us to try something else.

If you want to fund something, fund recovery programs for those who seek help. Fund training programs for parents to help them educate their kids about the dangers of drug use. It’s none of your business what an adult puts in their body, be it broccoli or cigarettes or a beer or a joint: their body, their business.

And in case someone wants to start with the logical fallacies, I’ve never done drugs and neither smoke nor drink. It’s about liberty, not your personal preference to use the force of an armed government to prevent a cancer patient (or a healthy 20-something) from smoking a joint (though smoking tobacco is acceptable, isn’t it? Hypocrites ?) Liberty– remember that word?
