You gotta be kidding... I have pretty liberal views on THAT issue, but don't tell me you want coke legalized... Dude... Sure it has zero fat and no cholesterol and can be organically grown, but... Wake up.

I think the idea is that natural drugs would be, like alcohol, sold and taxed by the Gov (state and/or fed) and synthetic drugs would not but if you get caught with some (personal use) it would not be a crime.

Why do you have fixation on "natural" drugs vs synthetic? Either kind is harmful to a degree, in the very least. I'm not a hard-core anti-drug by any means, but your position is silly. Cocaine has all the potential to destroy a person much faster and irrevocably, even compared to the evil alcohol. Taxes won't change that. Do you even know what you are talking about? I may agree about MJ, but not much else.

Sorry I'm not Sphota. I'm just giving my opinion on what he wrote and I think you still haven't got it. Lets call MJ a soft drug and coke a hard drug.
Soft drugs would be legal and taxed.
Hard drugs would be illegal but if you get caught with an amount that is considered for personal use you dont get thrown in jail.
