Black market for weed still exists.
Black market for bootleg liquor exists.

Hardly anyone uses them. They represent a pinprick of the total market.

Black Market, if you want to call it that, is still used by more than "hardly anyone". Lots of people get extra when they go to dispensaries in legal states then sell to their friends in the illegal states they drove from to get it

I can't wait to get on my first airliner with a stoned cockpit crew. No problem as long as they don't crash, right?

I mean, legalizing drugs wouldn't end FAA random drug testing for airline pilots. That said, I think you run a greater risk of mishaps/industrial accidents/car wrecks/etc. with full legalization of all drugs, hence why I think certain drugs should remain illegal. Now "what about alcohol"? IMO, with full legalization I think you provide more points of failure (i.e. more opportunities for someone operating heavy machinery/safety critical job to be under the influence). There must be a way to quantify the impact on one's mind due to certain drugs, so I would use the results of that study to form a baseline for determining what drugs should be illegal or not.

However, even if someone is found with an illegal drug, instead of focusing on incarceration and ruining people's lives forever, I think rehabilitation should be the main goal and not strictly punitive for drug related offenses that have no victim.

Eh, that’s no different than a kid with an ID buying booze for his buddies. Hardly a “black market”….

I have been sparring with Hog on his asinine stance that drunk/stoned driving/flying shouldn't be illegal. Only crashing should be. :rolleyes:

It all comes back around to - where do you draw the line?

I think rehab is fine, but who is going to pay for that treatment? How many times can they fail and return to rehab before you determine that it is a waste of time and money? And it is not the government "ruining their lives". They made the choice.
