No, but I would definitely support the war on people who keep incorrectly utilizing an apostrophe when it isn't warranted at all.

what is wrong with it? yeah you should have a lot of hatred for some dude who uses punctuation you don't like. Have you tried getting a life? Personally i don't think there's anything wrong with it looks fine to me. And maybe it might be better than anything you could come up with

Marijuana should absolutely be legal. Hard drugs should still be controlled.

If a person wants to smoke meth in the privacy of his own home and then stay up for three days straight binging on porn until his winky is rubbed raw, who are you to deny him that?

All drugs. Destroying the black market chain is imperative, as it would likely lead to a significant drop in violence across major U.S. cities and could possibly restabilize Mexico due to the shattered cartel revenue leaving them high and dry long-term and likely unable to control the Mexican government or collude with border patrol due to lack of funds.

Yes, all these violent criminals who suddenly lose their income will surely immediately stop being violent and become law abiding citizens.

With Sessions as AG expect the war on drugs to insensitivity. It should end but it won't.

"Let's fund this giant criminal organization with all this money we no longer have that was largely given to us by black market practices involving the sale of drugs!"

A lack of any organization would cause the system supporting criminals working under illegitimate funds to collapse. The reason people participate in gangs is (largely) monetary, not out of an innate need to satiate violent fantasies - the reason murder rates are high in certain cities is due to the concept of turf wars between gangs that result in violent shootouts because X person sold in Y territory they didn't "belong" in. This is a system that cannot operate on the scale it currently operates on if there was no structural support for it.

We've done this song and dance before with alcohol (and marijuana in some states) so we're already aware of the tangible benefits and the ensuing collapse of organized crime follow it.

It's simple: If there's a demand for something, it will exist, and a market will provide. It's better for it to be a regulated, taxed, and monitored market rather than one that operates outside of the boundaries of the law and is forced to use violence since basic legal conventions no longer apply because the operation exists outside of the law.

The hubris is that moralists act as though they can impose their will on people, but we've seen the effects of it- people still use drugs, but we get high prison populations, the festering problem of private prisons, the decreased stability of entire countries, and the ensuing violence caused by crime organized around drug funds.
