You mean if the world was perfect?
In reality you take in account the system you actually have not an idea of the perfect situation.
So if you block up the resources in Marijuana lawsuits that is the reality.
And the real bad guys have no one left to monitor them.
But you know that.
"He represents something that is so un-American as far as I'm concerned," Paul, a one-time GOP presidential candidate, said on CNN's "Smerconish."
"The war on drugs is a war on liberty."
He said that the federal government does not have the right to "regulate the sale of drugs," and that doing so is "constitutionally questionable."
During U.S. Attorney General nominee Senator Jeff Sessions’ confirmation hearing this month, the Senator told Congress that if the states prefer to keep the possession, sale, and distribution of cannabis legal then Congress should pass a law that makes it legal at the federal level.
“The United States Congress has made the possession of marijuana in every state, and distribution of it, an illegal act,” Sen. Sessions testified. “If that’s something is not desired any longer, Congress should pass a law to change the rule.”

Thus, Americans in these 'legal' states, should be pissed off at their reps in congress not Sessions and Trump Admin.
Edit add: so with that fact...Why did Congress not change the law? Why is the MSM not asking that?

I’m pretty sure democrats and a couple of republicans and independents would vote to legalize it. But the majority of republicans, I’m not sure. And republicans are majority and decide whether to even have a vote.
Sessions knows that the chances of a bill passing is not good. He’s just forcing his will and enjoying it very much.
