The loser who shot those women at that gym was frustrated cuz he
couldn't get any sex. I wonder how ,many other crimes are committed by frustrated losers. If prostitution was legal, I think we'd have a much calmer society. Likewise, many illegal drugs should be totally legal. Pot is mostly harmless but we put people in prison for it, what madness and waste of money. How many lives are lost due to pot being illegal? Cocaine should also be legal for similar reasons. Drug enforcement is a huge business and helps feed the prison- industrial complex. This is not a Liberal vs Conservative issue because both sides have vested interests in keeping the huge drug enforcement industry and prison industry going. It's a case of too many laws and not enough good sense. |

Maybe the legalization of pot would lower the demand for cocaine. Right now you're illegal either way, so folks may be tempted to get the most bang for their illegal buck. It would be interesting to give it a try. -- John H |

Sell all drugs thru a pharmacy, and tax it so we can take that money and pay for drug education. No one has not used a drug because it was illegal. -- Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq.

It's a case of too many laws and not enough good sense. Prostitution should be decriminalized. If legalized, prostitutes should be required to report regularly and frequently for medical tests/exams. Possession of small amounts of pot for personal use should be decriminalized. Same for possession of small, personal amounts of some other drugs. Decriminalized drugs should be sold at low prices by licensed retailers |

It would be easy to agree with legalization until you put it into the perspective of your own children having easy and legal access to cocaine or pot. Long term users of both seem to suffer negative consequences and certain personality types are prone to dependence. We've already got legal alchohol and although very few would want a repeat of prohibition, there is no disputing the high cost to society of alchohol abuse. Do we really want easy and legal access to two more substances with the same potential? |

They already have easy access I know there are a lot of people growing their own weed but cocaine has to be illegally smuggled, distributed and sold. I would hope that the taint of serious illegality would discourage at least some people. |

Any kid right now can probably go out and come back within thirty minutes if you bet them twenty bucks. I don't think it can get any easier to get than it already is. Steve |
