I said, at any rate the republicans and democrats from that era will be dead before long, and we can move forward. Even though you are on record as saying you would agree with legalizing weed, you look for any reason to disagree with me. I get it. At any rate, in 40 years America has spent 2.5 trillion dollars on the war on drugs, and it is obvious it isn't working. If weed had been legal, a lot of these other drugs would not be here for the average person. Like I said, people from the 50's will be gone soon enough, and America can move forward and try a new approach. It's obvious his generations approach isn't working.

I am not disagreeing with you. I am correcting you. You cannot expect people to agree with you when you just make up your own facts to support your opinions.

Besides the fact that neither Nixon nor Reagan were able to work with a Republican Congress, the war on drugs continued unabated during the presidencies of Carter, Clinton, and Obama. Even during Obama's first term, federal agents raided marijuana dispensaries in California, which were operating in accordance with California laws.

Legalization will not solve our drug problems. I don't support legalization because I am stupid enough to want to partake. I have very little sympathy for drug addicts or regular users. I believe that if people want to engage in self-destructive behavior to prove the law of natural selection, then the government should let them - provided that they not take others down with them. It will be cheaper to let nature take its course than to keep the idiots in prison.
