87% of their budget is currently spent on cannabis crimes.
So if we take cannabis out of their mix, what are we spending all this money on?
Part of the issue is media, too, and their reporting, because if you actually look at the amount of deaths that are reported, maybe very few alcohol deaths are ever reported on the news.
Right.
But one out of two heroin or ecstasy deaths are reported.
So even though we only have 26, more than half of them are reported.
So it seems like a bigger issue than it is.
And I'll point out that no cannabis deaths are ever reported because cannabis doesn't kill and cannabis is safer.
So we have that opportunity now to shift.
Well, the other issue is we're pushing our kids into a hard drug market.
I mean, anyone that goes out to try to obtain cannabis on the street right now
Who IDs them to find out how old they are before they're offered crack?
The drug dealer decides how old you are.
I'd say that there were several scientists, even Jocelyn Elders, who decided for the country.
She stood up and said, you know, this is ridiculous, and she got fired.
I mean, anyone that does stand up, Professor Nutt over in Great Britain just stood up and said, this is ridiculous, cannabis is safer, and he got fired.
See, I wasn't going to go there, but let's do.
I know.
But that's safer, too.
You'd rather have them at home beating off with a joint in your mouth than out raising a ruckus in the community, right?
