Pot (and other drugs) will never be decriminalized while the trend towards the privatization of prisons continues...with $billions at stake (much of it for Wackenhut, CCA etc,) together with a cheap captive labor pool, there is too much at stake for the correctional industry (!) which is naturally very well-represented by DC lobbyists.
The largest support for anti-drug laws in the US is probably organized crime. They continue to reap huge profits from cheap and readily available product at vitually no risk. People who make strong arguments against pot and other drugs being controlled by rational legislation are just dupes. They are supporting and making possible the existence of the very problems they claim to be against. Their silly , pathetic attempts to talk about the problems of drug users, is one of the biggest smoke screens of all time. You have no idea how pathetic your american anti-drug Czars looked up here at the hearings to decriminalize marijuana last year. They looked like high school students with a pet cause trying to make a case to universty professors and scientists. The only ones who listened to them were the right wing crazies in Canadian politics who wish they could be just like them.
Better yet, a drug treatment stint with an eye on getting the criminal back into the work force.
I was thinking more like hard labour. After all, who in their right mind would want to hire a convicted felon. Better to send them to a gulag where they can at least enjoy the company of their own kind. You know, some people just can't fit into normal society. It's a fact one must provide a solution for. This is their cry for help. Hopefully this solution will pay for itself and these people wont be a useless burden on tax payers like they are at the present time.

Im beginning to understand now.
Your a liberal trying to give the rightwinged a bad name.

Don't forget the prison wardens, whose Union is by far one of the most powerful lobbying groups in California, and resisted any funding cuts during the budget crisis.

Glad to see you find the sense of humor in all this. Maybe we are related after all.
