Why, as Americans, do we allow our drug policy to be ridiculously out of date? Police continue to crack down on citizens who smoke marijuana, while bankers are allowed to get off free, and in some cases with massive bonuses, after they nearly brought our economy to the brink of collapse. There is something fundamentally unfair about this. Perhaps it is because marijuana smokers who get caught tend to be lower income, and bankers have money to contribute to political campaigns or to hire lawyers that will protect them from their due justice.
Or another possibility is that Americans are just stupid, and support right-wing moronic politicians that seem to lack the ability to think critically, with their denial of global warming, evolution, and also still believing being gay is a choice and therefore it is somehow immoral. In order to fix the drug laws, Americans MUST come out openly and support legalizing marijuana. It can be regulated and taxed. This will take the criminality out of the process, and it will also bring in MUCH needed revenue to the United States government.
