Bernie Sanders next president of USA

[spanky4ever]

When USA legalize marijuana; maybe u have more room in your jails? Imagine how all that ppl now sitting in jail, instead could work on your crumbling infrastructure?
And maybe when USA concentrate less of being world police, you have more money to help ppl with tuition free education?

(US Drug Prisoners) "The United States leads the world in the number of people incarcerated in federal and state correctional facilities. There are currently more than 2 million people in American prisons or jails. Approximately one-quarter of those people held in U.S. prisons or jails have been convicted of a drug offense. The United States incarcerates more people for drug offenses than any other country. With an estimated 6.8 million Americans struggling with drug abuse or dependence, the growth of the prison population continues to be driven largely by incarceration for drug offenses." - See more at: http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Prisons ...

In some US states; marijuana is legal, in others u get jail. If u have 3 small crimes, u could even go to jail for life!. Makes no sense to me.
Im not talking about heavy drugs - but Marijuana! I mean, alcohol is a far worse drug, and u can buy that everywhere.

Quote:“Marijuana prohibition has been a costly failure—to individuals, communities, and the entire country,” says Tamar Todd, Director of Marijuana Law and Policy at the Drug Policy Alliance. “Washington should be praised for developing a smarter, more responsible approach to marijuana.”

The report’s key findings include:

Filings for low-level marijuana offenses are down 98% for adults 21 and older. All categories of marijuana law violations are down 63% and marijuana-related convictions are down 81%.
The state is now saving millions of dollars in law enforcement resources that were previously used to enforce marijuana laws.
Violent crime has decreased in Washington and other crime rates have remained stable since the passage of I-502.
Washington has collected nearly $83 million in marijuana tax revenues. These revenues are funding substance abuse prevention and treatment programs, youth and adult drug education, community health care services, and academic research and evaluation on the effects of marijuana legalization in the state.
The number of traffic fatalities remained stable in the first year that adult possession was legalized.
Youth marijuana use has not increased since the passage of I-502.
Washington voters continue to support marijuana legalization. Fifty-six% continue to approve of the state’s marijuana law – about the same as when it was approved in 2012 – while only 37% oppose, a decrease of 7 points since the election of 2012. More than three-quarters (77%) believe the law has had either a positive impact or no effect on their lives.

Marijuana should be legalized. The thing is, thelat prohibiting effectively does nothing towards decreasing the usage, hints are even that it increases the usage (it makes it extra exciting because it is forbidden). Legalizing marijuana:
- removes the criminal network surrounding the drug from society
- makes it so that the government can ensure the marijuana is of good quality and doesnt have any chemic waste in it
- gives the government tax returns
- frees up police resources for other things

What's your point? You shouldn't go to prison for drug dealing either.

[spanky4ever]

I think it schizophrenia to legalize M in some state, and sending ppl to prison in others, or giving about 100.000 ppl each year, a penalty that stick to them for the rest of their life.

Yes, I think drug dealers of heavy drugs should go to prison. But who in USA hasn't tried marijuana??

And when u have more room in prisons - maybe you could close some down, freeing a lot of tax dollars?

When it comes to military - USA are spending absurdly lot of tax dollars. If u cut half of it, you would still be the nation in the world with far much more spending then everybody else.

When you listen to the conservative candidates, most of them want to carpet bomb ISIS - meaning the Syrian civilians (cos thats where ISIS is hiding)
Sanders is saying that the Arab nations has to take on ISIS with ground forces.
If USA carpet bomb civilians, they will only achieve more support for ISIS.

Any addiction ruins lives....... You wanna make porn, video games, and alcohol illegal as well?

lol >_<

putting cocaine and heroine on the same level as video games, damn it lol how am i supposed to take you seriously

when did I say cocaine was on the same level as video games, although there are examples where video games have had a worse effect on someone than cocaine. Point is you can't outlaw something just because it ruins lives.

[spanky4ever]

HALLOOO: I was talking about Marijuana - not heroin, cocaine or any of the heavy stuff. I would argue that alcohol is far worse that Marijuana. And alcohol is far more addictive and the reason for many family breakups, violence, traffic accidents etc.
Personally I have never used Marijuana, but i would if it was legal though

Don't you think it's strange that the people at Sanders' rallies are predominantly white, young, and middle-class?

[spanky4ever]

Dont forget women in the same category, ant both sexes over average educate! What do you think they have understood that the black ppl have yet to realize?? I have heard one possible explanation; that the black ppl are less political interested, and prone to vote for the one their leader suggest.
