By what metric can we measure the success of cannabis prohibition? If we can't measure it's success why are spending all of this tax money and law enforcement man hours enforcing prohibition?
>>70359509
>implying there's money being spent on prohibition
>>70360855
Without strict enforcement statutes are ignored and the rule of law is eroded in the minds of common citizens.
>>70361099
No one is spending money on it.
It is significantly easier to restrict cannabis than it is to restrict alcohol for the simple reason that anyone can make alcohol in their house without specialist supplies, as is the case with guns too, whilst people do need specialist supplies (seeds) to grow weed.
For somewhere like America I would imagine it to be impossible to restrict the availability of the seeds, for a small island like the UK it wouldn't be so.

YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS:
Tell me why we should legalize a drug that niggers love.

Pot raids cost money, thermal imaging vehicles cost money, simply having drug dealers in a community costs money both directly and indirectly, filling out paperwork costs money, prisons cost money, tax evasion related to illegal activities costs money, wasting law enforcement resources makes other crimes more common which costs money, training dogs costs money, longer customs searches cost money, having ex-convicts in a community costs money, ect...

The burden of proof is on the authoritarian who seeks to use funds acquired under the threat of force to fund his chosen policies.
>>70362228
Maybe that exists in the US, it doesn't exist in the UK.

Yes, the drugs exist here but pot raids, thermal imaging vehicles, paperwork, prison sentences etc don't happen on anywhere near a regular basis in relation to weed crimes.
>>70363493

It doesn't matter if it's not on a "regular basis" you should justify taking tax dollars and spending it on this particular policy.
>>70363820
I didn't said I wanted superior tax POUNDS used on the policy.
I said that there is no attempt to seriously control the drug here and that if there were it could be possible.

Okay. Marijuana should be illegal because it is objectively addictive (i.e. it increases delta-fosB expression in the nucleus accumbens and 10% of users eventually smoke daily) and it invariably leads to workplace & traffic accidents, especially when mixed with other legalized drugs such as alcohol. By legalizing marijuana, you violate other people's right to live when they drive on freeways.
The ball's in your court now, libertarianfag.

>Marijuana should be illegal because it is objectively addictive (i.e. it increases delta-fosB expression in the nucleus accumbens and 10% of users eventually smoke daily) and it invariably leads to workplace & traffic accident
If these are your reasons then you must think that alcohol should be illegal then also
>right to live when driving on freeways
then we should ban cars and only allow people to drive bikes

Show a significant correlation between drug prohibition and accidental death. If you can't the supposed effect is immeasurable and therefore not a justification to use use money taken by force.
>>70364098
Even if it's not serious, there's no reason to promote the existence of dangerous black market or to waste a single pound on prohibition.
>>70364834
Okay
