I'm packin', are you?
This says it all. Another reason why our Criminal Justice system needs to be fixed. Drug laws need to be abolished (Why is it a crime to hurt yourself? It shouldn't be unless you try to hurt others that are unwilling in the process) and the DEA needs to go away (yet another way to balance a budget, get rid of unnecessary government agencies; BATFE, IRS, the Department of the Interior, this means you too!)

C'mon, I'm a Correctional Officer, I see what these yahoos are capable on the inside, you don't want the violent ones back on the street or the sex offenders. But if it comes down to money, then I guess its alright, right. I mean why even go through the process? All for the greater good, or is it? And to whom, who will ultimately benefit, where will this saved loot go to? Also, how are prisons expensive when most C/Os (in my area) are living at the poverty level and are staffed by skeleton crews paid thousands less than police officers. If we got rid of "victimless crimes" then all we would house are the public enemies and not those who , if necessary, require treatment. However, if alcohol and tobacco are okay, the other drugs should be leaglized too, we need to quit spending money on useless crap and pay for that which is truely necessary, the defense of our United States. This nanny government we have somehow gave birth to, needs to go away, right now.
