And the tax we could collect on it would be astonomical, not to mention we would save on the "drug war." Controlling other certain substances and taxing them, like we did with alcohol, would help with more hardcore drugs. (No, I don't think those drugs are good. But I think drug laws do more harm than the actual drugs.)

I watched a thing on weed on cnbc tonight. Since the state law in California is legal for medicinal purposes, there are dispencaries where people with prescriptions can legally buy pot. The people who run those dispencaries pay taxes, a LOT of taxes. the rest of the country should follow suit.

Eric Holder apparently said states will now be in control of their marijuana laws. Good. It's about friggin' time.

Why we can't quit giving them govt assistance. If you're illegal, why are you entitled to it?

Now, as far as INS goes, we really kind of need to let the INS do its job...and we need to kick every.....

No it isn't. Perhaps they could try to make their own country better.

You'd just get shot by the drug lords, who have 60% of the population actively backing them.
