What a crock! Individual freedom and common sense would go a long way to reducing much of that “crime”.
If pot were legal, and adults were actually allowed to make their own health care choices,
as conservatives relentlessly proclaim, then much of the drug crime wouldn’t even exist.
If prostitution were legal and our Big Brother government wouldn’t need to pry
into the bedrooms of consenting adults because money for sex is so evil and
such a terrible crime causing so much unspeakable pain for the “victims”,
then this “crime” would also vanish from the books and the courts, and
the Big Brother Police State wouldn’t need to waste so much of our
taxpayers’ hard earned money to protect citizens from themselves.

Tox, you so right. What a crock!That is; refering to your statement.
You are clearly stating that if all of these crimes were legalized then we wouldn’t have crimes. You
must be a rocket scientist.
Just what we need, allow tractor/trailer truck drivers high on MJ to be on the roads. Why stop
there ? Lets legalize all drugs, acts of rape and molestation, theft, etc. Then we would have no
need for law enforcement.and most of the gov’t . Just think of the tax savings for the slight few tax
payers we have.
