Good ideas there. Most bureaucrats (public officials) I have met have few morals, and were it not for fierce penalties, could be easily bought. Most are not worth the money they are paid now, never mind increasing their salaries.

The big reason for light penalties for drug dealing seems to be the fact that the market is so huge. If drugs were decriminalised, the profit to criminals would disappear, just like it did with alcohol so many years ago; why must we re-learn this lesson, at such great expense??

My feeling is that we should just pitch them in jail, regardless of the overcrowding. If they don't like it in there, then stay the hell out, simply by making an honest living and sticking with legal products. I really don't care if they have to hotbunk, two at a time, just stay out in the first place...

Legalize already.
Who cares what people do in their own homes.
Plus, we could really use the tax money.

In their homes isn't an issue; behind the wheel, however, could be.
