Just read here in Vegas that the Prive nightclub at Planet Hollywood is being fined by the state for $750,000.00 because their bouncers weren't fast enough making a girl put her tits back in her shirt in the club and allowing too much "lewd and lascivious behavior" in the club
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest must be rolling in their graves at how repressive and authoritarian government has become. "We the people"? I don't think so.

There are a few drugs like Meth and Heroin that I could see keeping illegal because in the end they very well could end up hurting society as a whole. Meth is so addictive that most people are full blown addicts after using the drug just a couple of times so I could see how people could try it at a party just for fun and end up going down a really bad road. Plus the recovery rate for meth is about 10-15% so most people who get on it never get back off it. Heroin is kind of the same thing. The recovery rate is a little bit higher, but not much. I could see situations where if these were legal more people might try them and get hooked on them and then everyone else ends up paying for them because they either resort to crime to pay for their habits or they end up in a rehab or jail and the tax payers pick up the tab.
But weed is a different story. A ton of people smoke it on occasion and never have a problem. It is no more addictive than regular cigarettes or booze.
