Another tough crackdown on gangs is recommended, as we just celebrated the start of Prohibition in 1920? How’d that work? Gangs rose up, machine guns, corruption, innocents killed. The solution then was government regulation of booze, and tax it to the max.

Why can’t we try that with marijuana? Newt Gingrich is on YouTube, with the “World that works, v.s the World that Fails”. If you find it hilarious, please consider where the The Drug War belongs.

Nixon started up the Drug War. He had to be “tough” on something to make up for withdrawing from Vietnam? When marijuana was outlawed, gangs turned to cocaine for its higher profits to make the risk of jail worth it. Indiana is the biggest producer of marijuana, Louis Rukeyser reported many years ago. How many American farmers could get off govt. subsidies if marijuana, and hemp, were legalized?

Jeb and the Repubs are spending hundreds of millions of $$, to “shine a light on science”. Yet every scientific study of the safety and/or usefulness of marijuana, is like burned at the stake. It’s a plant that’s been used for centuries, presumably put on this earth by the “Intelligent Designer”. Whom so many claim to have “Faith” in.

But FL is putting its money on man-made “creations” from subsidized laboratories? Or throwing even more, at more jails, more kicking down doors, more strip searches, even of children who happen to be in a house where an adult is selling “controlled substances”?
