kelpdiver 2 #101 August 5, 2010 Quote Plus, I think that once people try pot, especially if they have been drunk on alcohol before, they realize that the legal status of drugs has nothing to do with the actual safety of the drugs and therefore might be more inclined to try other illegal drugs. That has been the status quo that could now change. Making pot legal may send the message that in that case, it never was a real problem. This isn't true for cocaine or heroin, and it should remain readily apparent. (of course, if Obama loses in 2012, the new Feds will continue to run ads about how smoking weed will make you kill your sister and redo the damage).

Andy9o8 2 #102 August 5, 2010 QuoteQuote I have wondered about this, and I'm not sure if this would be the case. Maybe so, but... It could just be that we'll see a huge increase in other (harder?) drugs coming across the border, with the violence continuing. only if there is demand. Otherwise, the price plummets, and the incentive to kill each other to sell it goes with it.. Legalizing pot alone won't make much of a blip for too long; the cocaine and heroin traffic will still provide plenty of fuel for the engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
