Violent crime in the U.S. is rising, but hey that doesn't matter because people are smoking pot! http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7370Marijuana Arrests For Year 2006 – 829,625 Tops Record High...Nearly 6 Percent Increase Over 2005http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sns-ap-crime,0,3234715.story
Violent crime rose nearly 2 percent last year, the FBI reported Monday in nationwide data that show a slightly higher increase than expected.After reading these two articles, a thought occurred to me? Are our goals misplaced? Nahhh Keep on trucking America! Whoo hoo! Send those potheads to jail! Yeah! |

The "war on drugs" is a national disgrace.
It has filled our prisons with people who merely sought the temporary release from sober reality that humans have sought since before history.
It has prevented cancer patients from finding a little comfort and temporary release from pain.

For those of you who can view our most sensitive thread in the paid member's area, I don't need to tell you why marijuana has a good effect on people, if you know what I mean.

25 people a day are killed in the US by illegal aliens. Here in Atl, crime is at its highest in history, illegal population is also at its highest. Wonder why crime levels are running so high. We have criminals from Mexico coming and going as they please. Commit a crime in Mexico, run across the border, commit a crime here, back to Mexico they go.
Endless cycle.

Correlation is not causation. The increase in the crime rate and the increase in the illegal population may both be a function of the increase in population. I don't doubt that illegal aliens do in fact commit crimes, but there isn't solid proof here that the increased crime rate is the result of illegal immigration. If you have data concerning the percentage of crimes committed by illegal aliens, that might be a different story. |

After reading these two articles, a thought occurred to me? Are our goals misplaced? You are drawing a correlation between 'violent crime committed' and pot arrests. How can one possibly have anything to do with the other? |

Ahk It's not an argument. It's a ridiculous statement that has been proven arong a gazillion times. Pot smokers have gone up... but abortions have gone down. I wonder if there is a corelation? /sarcasm |
