Republican view-point against

Legalize drugs? That's insane! What kind of Republican are you?

One that sees opportunities for tax revenue in which we can lower other tax rates, decrease the government run prison system, and get rid drug lords' revenue stream.

More taxes? You're not a Republican.

Normally, I don't like new taxes, but this one I could live with. It does the double duty of letting us lower other tax rates with the billions of dollars it would bring in and shrinking the government by releasing the unnecessary incarceration of non-violent drug offenders.

But Marijuana makes people lazy, how is that good?

Who cares! Lazy people are going to be lazy no matter what we do. The people that use drugs are going to use them anyway. Instead of wasting our tax money trying to fight it and cementing the drug dealers' revenues when should be making the money for ourselves.

Drugs are bad, think about the children!

Well, children already know drugs are bad. They are already bombarded with TV messages and school events that tell them so. Legalizing and regulating drugs would put less controlled substances in the hands of our children. Our children would also be safer without the huge network of violent drug dealers enticing them to get high.

Let's recap:

• More tax revenue from taxes I can live with, which will lead to the lowering of other taxes.
• Smaller government prison system when we let out non-violent drug offenders, which I like to call more revenue streams.
• And no more underground drug dealing system in which we not only don't make tax revenue from, but it cost us billions of dollars of taxes per year to fight.

There you have it. Concrete Republican facts that the War on Drugs is a bad business decision.
