Doing drugs are a personal and lifestyle choice. There are other issues that need to be addressed than the personal choice of Americans.

I'd say the biggest drug problem we have now is the $4 BILLION a year going to terrorist groups from the sale of Opium in Afghanistan. If the primitive Taliban could manage to stop everyone from growing it, why can't Bush seem to stop it now?Supposedly, our spy satellites can read the date on a nickel from miles above the earth, but we can't find a huge poppy field that is being used to raise money for terror groups?Let's fix THAT problem before we go arresting our own citizens and putting them in prison for recreational drug use.

Ooh, did you touch a nerve here with me. We have been in Afghanistan HOW many years now? And the poppy production is the highest EVER?!?!? Afghanistan is supplying 93% of the damn heroin source for the WORLD.And I don't want to hear the "it's a complex situation" arguments. We should have solved this LONG ago...

We can't even keep drugs out of prison. What makes that doddering old fool think he can do anything about it on the streets?
