[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can't help themselves.  Out of control spending forces them to find any revenue stream they can.  Once they spend all the pot revenue, they'll be legalizing heroin next.[/quote]

LOL

1. Heroin and pot aren't even CLOSE to the same thing.

2. Take a look at Portugal. They legalized essentially every drug there and guess what? They have the lowest overdose rate in Europe and their gang problem is a thousand times better. Legalizing drugs helps bring in state revenue, makes it safer for people to use relatively safe drugs like pot by regulating them, and takes incentives away from gangs to get into the drug business.

Also, it's not like if you legalize heroin, suddenly tons of people are going to be like "you know what? lemme just shoot up some heroin. great idea!" [/quote]

Portugal doesn’t have a high risk poor migrant uneducated illegal immigrant population crossing their border every second. OP, I’m with you! I’d call your local board member to complain. It would be even better if you have an active neighborhood association to draft an email complaint so that residents in your community can just plug in their information and hit the send button.[/quote]

Actually Portugal is a major trafficking point for drugs. It definitely has issues with drugs and gangs like we do in the US.[/quote]
