You understand the principle then of what Vincente Fox said in his latest interview.

"Prohibiti­on didn't work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple."

 

Raise your kids and don't expect the government to do it for you. That's probably the best place to start. Then realize that it's easier to get heroine, crack or Meth then it is to get alcohol. Not because alcohol is legal but because it's sold by legitimate stores that have something to lose by selling to minors. Fines aren't the deterrent; the loss of business associated with getting caught is.

See, that's the whole thing though -- banning K2 is as stupid as banning marijuana.  Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that K2 sucks.  But a prohibition on K2 would be just as futile and harmful as any of the other prohibitions we're dealing with.

The answer, like you said, is to legalize pot.  No other action required.

umm Belen Castro thats all fine and dandy but what do you waste YOUR money on? buy chinese electronics or clothes or something? if you ask me thats worthless crap

Sober and drunk are your two choices, but it is not okay to achieve an artificial "high" (or similar to it), i.e. any effect that relaxes you but does not produce aggression, recklessness or a hangover.  If K2 were marketed as "synthetic alcohol", we would not be talking about this.

unelected agencies should not be making law via their "rules".  DownsizeDC has a plan and a method:

This was their email on the subject (which they give permission to reprint):

Quote of the Day: "It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume...that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him." --H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) American Journalist, Editor, Essayist, Linguist, Lexicographer, and Critic

Many who favor small government think partisan gridlock is good for liberty. If the Republican House majority and the Senate Democratic majority can't see eye to eye, fewer bills will pass. That's true, and good, but it overlooks one problem . . .

When the President can't get his way in Congress, he'll govern without it. He'll issue Executive Orders and the unelected bureaucrats in the regulatory agencies will implement new policies without Congressional approval.

That's one reason DownsizeDC.org created the Write the Laws Act (WTLA). Only Congress should be able to impose new rules.

But Congress doesn't have to pass WTLA in order to restrain the President and the bureaucracy.

Congress should threaten to de-fund any agency that imposes new regulatory rulings against its will. The agency will have to either reverse these rulings, or go out of business.

The President will complain. The agency will complain. But Congress holds all the purse strings. If the bureaucrats continue their war on liberty and prosperity, Congress should declare war on the bureaucracy.

Encourage Congress to adopt this strategy. You can do so by sending a letter using Downsize DC's Reduce Regulations campaign.

You can use all or part of the following letter . . .

According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, regulations cost the economy over $1.1 trillion per year. http://cei.org/studies-issue-analysis/ten-thousand-commandments-2010

And they are often imposed by unelected bureaucrats in defiance of Congressional will. That happened last month when the FCC created fraudulently-named "Net Neutrality" regulations. The President will surely veto any bill that repeals the FCC's actions.

But Congress STILL has all the leverage. All you need to do is threaten to withdraw all funding for the FCC from next year's budget. Unless the FCC abandons its Net Neutrality regulations, it will go out of business.

The House and Senate should also withdraw all funding of the EPA unless it withdraws its new greenhouse gas regulations.

Whenever an alphabet agency imposes a business-killing, jobs-destroying, innovation-stifling regulation without Congress's approval, you should propose cutting off all funding for that agency.

Tell the bureaucrats that you're the boss. Do not allow them to make regulations without your assent.

END LETTER

No Constitutional authorization for any federal law enforcement agency exists, so ALL of them should be defunded and disbanded.  But to get rid of the massive federal debt and the ongoing deficit, our government must also end all the illegal wars in which it is currently engaged, bring home all troops that are not on embassy duty, and close all overseas military bases.  The Constitution does NOT give the government the power to be the world's police force, nor to wage wars where the uSofA has not been attacked by the military of another nation.  Our Founders specifically noted our government should refrain from "entangling alliances" as well, meaning we should remain absolutely neutral like Switzerland, when it comes to the wars between other nations.

There are a lot of things that the USA Federal is doing that I never voted for, and certainly don't approve of, and sure as hell don't feel like supporting with my tax dollars.  The is very little that I agree with the Tea Party members elected to Congress, but refusal to raise the cap on National Debt is one of those that I can get behind.

Let's use that to shut down the Federal government -- no more DEA, no more TSA, no more DHS, no more USA in Iraq & Afghanistan & Pakistan & Yemen & Somalia conflicts, no more bloated Defense budget, no more Patriot Act(s), no more War on (Fake) Terror, no more War on (People) Drugs.  Of course this wouldn't be permanent, but it might just wake up our politicians to an adult conversation with the American taxpayers about ending the USA's tyrannical police state.  One could hope for such a change as this ...

Obviously they are about ending the criminal-controlled MJ market.  What do you think ending marijuana prohibition will accomplish if not that?

That's why I don't support either the Democratic or Republican Parties -- they are both wings (Left & Right) of the Corporatist Oligarchic Kleptocracy that actually run this country, as opposed to the constitutional republic that we used to be.

I don't know about everyone else, the issue surrounding the legalization of pot is such a non-issue for me, legalize the shit before it destroys this country from overcrowded prisons full of people who can't tell the difference between there, their and they're!

I mean really people, have an opinion but at least try to have enough pride in yourself that you can tell the difference between to too and two, there, their and they're

oh and lastly, it's bad, worse and worst.  "the worse thing" does not make sense, it's improper engrish.

Hand gels are coming soon....
