I did. Although I personally have no interest in it, this is one product we could well keep manufacture of in this country and suck the air right out of the Mexican drug wars. |

Sure we could make some money. Let's go all the way, murder, rape and mayhem could bring the big bucks. Let's legalize it all! |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I have to agree - with legalize, regulate and tax. There are valid reasons against it (don't compare it to alcohol - the sole reason to smoke marijuana is to get high - so, analogy fail). I come from a pragmatic perspective - the war on drugs has shown that redoubling our efforts (and more) will never achieve a victory. Better to get a handle on it and control it. Tax revenues should be dedicated to helping hard drug addicts get clean. |

Mayhem is very non-specific, unlike the other terms, which identify a focused activity. Also, mayhem frequently involves all three of the other activities, whereas the same cannot be said for the remainder of the list. |

Murder is the only word in the list which does not have an "a" in its second position. Neeneer neener. |

Maybe to vote to legalize this, but once legalized, they'd probably be too baked to remember to vote.

Conservatives who want to save taxpayer money and limit the power of the federal government should support legalization: http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2010/08/03/bruce-fein-on-marijuana-legalization-“if-it-is-broken-then-you-need-to-fix-it”/ Bruce Fein on Marijuana Legalization: “If It Is Broken, Then You Need to Fix It” By: Jon Walker Tuesday August 3, 2010 3:42 pm Ronald Reagan’s former associate deputy attorney general Bruce Fein, a member of the Just Say Now advisory board, appeared earlier today on MSNBC to make the conservative argument in support of allowing states to legalize and regulate marijuana. When Cenk Uygur asked why Fein is supporting efforts to legalize marijuana, Fein’s response was simply that the current policy has proved to be a costly failure and needs to be re-examined. There is an obverse to the proverb “if it’s not broken don’t fix it,” but if it is broken than you need to try to fix it. And I think at best you can describe the last 40 years and trillion dollars as an incomplete success. We see the marijuana trade fueling the drug cartels in Mexico, the incidence of drugs has really not been dented. We think that after 40 years of spectacular failure and more than a trillion dollars, it’s time to let the states experiment with their own control. Stop squandering federal resources on this, and devote more to real national security issues. Fein acknowledges that ending the prohibition against marijuana is a conservative position in the same way ending the prohibition against alcohol was conservative. It is getting the government out of people’s lives and It is trying to scale back the role of federal government to a proper scope and limit to what its Constitutional duties and obligations are, and it is going to yield, I think, a vastly improved landscape than what we have as of present.
