Time to treat drug use/abuse as the problem it really is, a misdemeanor. We have a prison system clogged with people doing hard time for a problem best served by the medical community.

The copper unions are against it Bob, better rethink

I'm generally for that kind of thing except the heroin. Hard drugs are inherently different imo. Folks usually don't shoot people over a j, but their next fix....

Folks are going apeshit over this. Some are saying it's a Nazzi thing in OH, but heck they've been giving blood tests here in TN for years. Guess folks up there think they should be able to drive drunk and cops be ok with it.

Bob, I see your point though. Heck, even though I don't smoke weed, I do wish they'd relax the laws on it in every state. It wouldn't be a problem near as bad if it didn't have to be snuck in, killings over it, etc.

Google 'the Emerald Triangle' Dave. We have every cowboy capitalist diverting streams and then polluting them with fertilizer run off from their illegal grow operations.

Sure is funny how the librul anti Koch guy George Soros is bank rolling this one.

Only because their next fix is so bloody expensive. Legalize it and price it right. I never could understand why people want to fry their brains but chaqun a son gout.

FRENCHY ALERT!!

I've seen the effects of hard drugs up close sadly. Right now heroin is the #1 killer of young men in Cleveland, largely because it is so strong cheap & readily available.
