No, only in your mind would there be drug traffic into a regulated America. There wouldn't be a market for drug trafficking. You see, your boys classified marijuana with heroin, and above even cocaine. There has never been a weed overdose, can we say the same for alcohol and other drugs, even prescribed drugs? The truth is, the war on drugs hasn't worked, and will only get worse. If your guys had recognized that years ago, and let people smoke their weed legally, you wouldn't have this mess that isn't working. You, and your ilk have given rise to the prescription pill problem we are fighting right now. The good news is, your generation are leaving, and we can move on. It's sad to have to say it, but it's true. Until the 50's kids are gone, the drug war will continue to be a losing battle. I'd bet if weed were legal for the last 30 years, we wouldn't have this drug problem.

Well, at least you have hit on something that is important. The dreamers of your ilk are notorious for letting their imaginations run away with them. Matter of fact, that is likely the default setting for most of you guys. You don't realize all that you lack with regard to experience, typical greenhorns thinking you know all that is necessary to make policy decisions which will guide something as profound as the direction of this nation. The depths of your naivity are revealed when you make posts on national defense and the like. Hey, I bet if Nancy Pelosi had just taken somebody like you with her, the PLO would have been more than ready to sign a peace agreement with Israel. No, I disagree with you, I believe as a nation we sorely miss the wisdom of the Henry Hydes and the Howard Bakers. Now, with chip monks like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi at the helm we more resemble a ship of fools than a ship of state.
