Of course.....Mr Shitman does drugs.
REAL Life is all about taking calculated-risks....and, why (you) "conservatives"/Republicans are such pussies.

Legalize drugs and the violence will remain. Especially for those who commit violent acts while they are ON drugs. If someone is high and eats the face off another person, it doesn't matter at that point whether the drugs are legal or illegal. The legal status of the drug has no effect at all.

Oh are those violent drug cartels that exist from Mexico all the way down to the fields in South America where they grow the drug plants.....just going to give up what they own and control right now?
Will those drug cartels set up their own stores here?
They're going to quit being VIOLENT once they can sell more drugs???
You people are insane to believe they are going to let some Wal Mart to take a cut of their billions.
Freedom-minded types certainly won't like my take, but the history of the entire fucking civilization of mankind says this is a fucked up idea.
China had 90 million opium addicts at one time.
Read this slowly, for comprehension:
'Given the experiences of countries such as Great Britain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, China, Japan, Spain, Egypt, Iran, and Thailand, it is little wonder why countries that traditionally have had lenient drug laws are all moving in the direction of illegalization. '

I knew better than to say that.
Nonetheless, that is my bias.
Choices. Evaluate the risks and consequences.
Prison, yes--in some cases that is a possibility. Illness and death and financial loss and heartbreak for those who must stand by and let the chips fall where they may.
Be my guest. I see nothing positive about this sort of choice.

I won't change my mind.
"Weve got bigger fish to fry. It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that its legal."
How many people have died in drug related violence in Mexico since 2009? Far too many. That's despite decriminalization.
I do agree with my Prime Minister though. That the current approach isn't working. It's refreshing to have a politician be blatantly honest. He surprised a lot of people.
There are just so many factors involved. Prisons for profit just doesn't seem right. The fact that this corporation wanted a " 90 % guaranteed occupancy " is outrageous. That completely perverts the Justice system.
Oscapella cites a recent pitch by the Corrections Corporation of America, the largest operator of prisons in the U.S. The company told 48 U.S. states that it would buy their existing prisons, provided the states could guarantee 90 per cent occupancy.
AND
In 2009, Mexico enacted a law that decriminalized possession of minor amounts of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD and methamphetamine.
While people aren't prosecuted for having small sums of these drugs, they are encouraged to seek treatment.

Drugs do not cause violence, people do.
whatever. there are still 'risks'.
I don't have a 'broad frame of reference'--a boomer, fyi--just not something I would choose for whatever reasons.
