Now Sacramento politicians want to add more. Of course we all want to be safe, but Proposition 205 will not make us safer. It just throws money at the crime problem without addressing why the crime rate has gone up.
Crime is rampant due in part to government's ''war on drugs.
It's similar to the Prohibition era of the 1920's. And drug prohibition doesn't work today. Drug laws are the problem, not the solution. If drugs were legal, the price would drop and most addicts would no longer have to steal to support their habits. Without the high profit margin, drug dealers would go out of business and no longer be on the streets trying to hook kids on these substances.
