*** begin quote ***

Legendary singer Tony Bennett called for the U.S. government to legalize drugs during a tribute to Whitney Houston in the hours after her death.

“First it was Michael Jackson, then it was Amy Winehouse and now the magnificent Whitney Houston,” Bennett said. “I’d like to have every gentleman and lady in this room commit themselves to get our government to legalize drugs, so you can it from a doctor, not just some gangsters that just sell it under the table.”

How many decades have “we” been trying Prohibition?

Didn’t work for booze; won’t work for drugs. The Gooferment can’t even keep drugs out of its prisons.

Never mind that people die from “junk”.

Never mind that it corrupts our police force.

Never mind that it enriches the criminal cartels.

Let’s put WalMart in charge.

It’s guesstimated that drugs would be as cheap as aspirin. And “pure” (i.e., an adict would know what they were putting in their body.)

It’s further guesstimated that ¼ of the jails are full of non-violent addicts.

It’s estimated that ⅓  of the minority male population has a felony criminal record.

It’s destroyed the black community. (It could be argued with help from the welfare state enslaving the black community and destroying the black family with absurd rules.)

So can we try something else?
