The downside to legalization.

There is a downside to the legalization of pot: some of the individuals in the legal system who depend on the arrests of pot smokers might have to find worthwhile jobs instead. Look at all the paychecks that get cut: The cops make their collars. The bail bondsmen get their rake off. The prosecutors make their cases. The social workers write up their interviews. The clerks push their papers. The lawyers collect their fees. The judges render their verdicts. The prison guards make their rounds. The vendors sell their baloney sandwiches. The construction firms build their additions. And the shrinks nod their heads.

It's the same thing(only scaled way down) with slavery. You know how many people had to get new jobs once it was banned?

Hey, they can still bust you for swd (Smoking while driving) or public stonery. The popo will still have their Ego inflation mechanism intact. Everything is going to be alright.

im ok with swd if we have legalization. it's not a huge compromise, and to be honest if your careless enough to get pulled over for smoking you kind of deserve it.
