Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I read an article a few months ago that said Amsterdam was having to close over 200 "cafes" because drug use was getting out of control in the city. Hmm, I thought marijuana was supposed to be harmless and not a gateway drug? Odd that the city's drug problem steadily grew worse over the decades then. In a message dated 2/27/2009 3:07:43 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Let me add: I think this isn't a bad idea. Let MJ be a state's rights issue and not a federal one. That way we will be able to see the effects of easy drug availability in those states that legalize it. Of course, I would also like "migration penalties" for those of a certain party that supported the idea of legalization if they then try to flee the state because of the increase crime and health care costs.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 That would be up to the state in question to write the rules for medical use or total legalization. But that assumes the ability to detect whether their motive was due tocrime and health care costs. Get a jump start on your taxes. Find a tax professional in your neighborhood today.

" Yes, people don't think of collateral damage when they make these decisions. It will come back to haunt them. I think the main reason the federal government is getting lax with drug enforcement -aside from the expense which they cannot afford- is because a subdued public is easier to manipulate, and the pro-marijuana for medicine crowd is very vocal.
