Once Cali starts taxing the crap out of it, you'll see heavy enforcement on any coming from Mexico. Silly politicians....

Originally posted by reelop19 View PostWeed prices will go down. All drugs should be decriminalized like in Portugal and the Netherlands and they should be a source of tax revenue. It will turn drug dealers into contributing members of society and it will save us a shit load of money used to fight drugs.
Because we all want drug dealers to be contributing members of society by handing out drugs.
This is where I lose it with Libertarians.
Because there isn't a drug problem in the Netherlands right.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

If they write that many tickets you think the bloated California government is really going to kill that stream of revenue? No way.

Because there isn't a drug problem in the Netherlands right.
(1997-1999) "The figures for cannabis use among the general population reveal the same pictures. The Netherlands does not differ greatly from other European countries. In contrast, a comparison with the US shows a striking difference in this area: 32.9% of Americans aged 12 and above have experience with cannabis and 5.1% have used in the past month. These figures are twice as high as those in the Netherlands."
Source: Netherlands Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, Drug Policy in the Netherlands: Progress Report September 1997-September 1999, (The Hague: Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, November 1999), pp. 7-8.
Comparing Important Drug and Violence Indicators:

Lifetime prevalence of marijuana use (ages 12+) 2001 36.9% 17.0%
Past month prevalence of marijuana use (ages 12+) 2001 5.4% 3.0%
Lifetime prevalence of heroin use (ages 12+) 2001 1.4% 0.4%
Incarceration Rate per 100,000 population 2002 701 100
Per capita spending on criminal justice system (in Euros) 1998 €379 €223
Homicide rate per 100,000 population Average 1999-2001 5.56 1.51

although in retrospect because I got arrested I ended up spending a month up there waiting for my court date and saw some epic shit, multiple bears and a few wolfs so I guess I'm not really that mad about it. didn't really like having to drive back up there to spend a fucking day in jail though, but it was kinda a nutty ExperienceLast edited by assoutE12; 10-02-2010, 02:27 PM.

I ran my car off the road though so its not like I wasn't in the wrong plus the guy I was with had dreads and admitted to having pot to a park ranger because they said they wouldn't care and would let us on our way. they gave me a DUI because I "failed" a field sobriety test and failed their survey like 4 hours after I had smoked.
