Quote:Yes, it probably would, and the people of the United States have stated that drug use must be controlled in order to ensure those three rights to both the user and the people.whether the people have said that or not, how is the government controlling it right now? i do believe they're losing their "war on drugs" if all drugs were legal, then and only then, will the government be able to control them, thus then, the "war" would be over.
now, i'm not gonna get into a discussion about this, because everybody has their opinion and that's not going to change. although jays might have a better argument if he was able to come up with some actual factual information instead of just speaking his feelings based on what he's seen of other's drug use.
that said i'd just like to state my opinion that golisano is either an idiot who has no business being governor or he's being paid off by pataki. who the Hell uses a drug legalization platform for their big campaign right before the election, especially in a traditionally conservative republican state. all he's going to do with this is pull a nader and get some of carl mccall's liberal votes.
