And here's the thing. People love to sanctimoniously judge people who don't believe in the efficacy of government programs. It's all fine and good until they actually have to give their own money. If all of you feel so impassioned about it, then put your money where your mouth is.
But it is our money we are talking about. Right now our money is what actually goes to the War on Drugs, support our bloated prison system, pay the salaries of all the courts involved in drug cases, replace the materials and suffering caused by people feeding their habit, the loos of productivity and redirection of resources.
The Federal Government is still the one body that has a presence and authority everywhere in the United States. It simply seems reasonable that they Federal Government should be the best way to manage a reform.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

And no one said it was.
