Well, make all the busts you want. They'll make more.
What? Are they gonna stop because you made a bust? 
You just made it more profitable for the next guy.

Like yourself, I think marijuana should be legal, if not completely legal, then at least for medicinal purposes. I don't however think other drugs should be made legal. Meth and others like it are destructive.

My deepest sympathies go out to you, Stone, and your victimized friends who are being made to suffer because they have the right to disobey all illegal drug laws because the illegal drug war and punishments against them is wrong.

I agree with you on that one Stone...
According to the "medical field" cigarette smokers and those who are exposed to second hand smoke are destined to be "doomed" with cancer, heart disease, childhood ear infections and allergies, a sore that never heals, ect...
So, why does the U.S. Government allow the legalized sales of cigarettes when the medical feild claims it's killing those who purchase them legally and any person who get's a breath of their second hand smoke???

Well, if we want to start making everyone elses bodies our own business and start jailing all those who do unhealthy things, why we'd all be in jail. Cigarettes kill FAR more than all other drugs combined. Why not prohibit them? That is, if your concern over others health is your primary issue.
I don't care about anything a person wants to do to their own bodies. I do however care about people using these drugs and what it does to their children, or what they do to others to get money to get those drugs. I've seen what sort of parents people that use these sorts of drugs become.

Drugs, whether legal or illegal are not the cause of crimes, or whether children are treated poorly.
People do that.

People on meth and heroin are more apt to be abusive and neglectful parents. That's just how it is.

My point exactly!
So, when a parent who is NOT a meth or heroine user abuses and neglects their children...who BELIEVES the CHILDREN vs. a parent who ISN'T addicted to an illegal or legal drug?
U.S. Society is more apt to remove a child from a home because of a parent's legal or illegal drug addiction because the assumption is every parent who is alleged to have a chemical dependency problem is automatically a bad parent.
A parent who NEGLECTS and ABUSES their child/children without any evidence of chemical use is more likely to be seen as a "DECENT PARENT" with PROBLEMATIC CHILDREN to deal with, thus these children who have no idea how lucky they are that their parent isn't high on meth, heroine or drunk when they physicaly or sexually assault them.
