You stated: "The new law more or less tracks California law, and the law in many other states: users, if arrested, get diverted from the criminal justice system." That statement is just wrong.

Starting with San Diego and other parts of southern California, I'm sure that drug users would rather drive south across the border to get their drugs at lower cost and reduced risk, freeing up police on our side of the border to fight other crimes. The net result would be tantamount to putting more cops on the street in this country, and let the Mexican government take our place of being in the business of having prisons overcrowded with drug offenders.

Mark A. R. Kleiman, who knows a thing or two about drug policy, has an informative post on the pending Mexican drug legislation that I mentioned this morning.

If the MSM gave the real story on the true costs of the 'war on drugs', maybe the majority would come to the conclusion the humans are just beings. Beings represent life, life cannot be controlled. I know, it is a stretch, but the real problem is big pharma. They have no stake in drugs that can be manufactured by anyone. They same people who spin this story of 'legalization' are hypocrites. Alcohol, Nicotine, OxyContin anyone..... To solve the problem, you have to first understand the problem.
