RVTECH:You make a good point but legalizing drugs would have to be on the Federal level and cover the entire US as opposed to just a few states to even begin to eliminate the gansta/drug culture. For example:
Legalizing MJ only makes it easier for the middle and upper classes to acquire MJ as they no longer need to find 'illegal' sources for it. Those who cannot afford 'legal' MJ will still need a way to acquire it - cheaper or for 'trade' and the illegal growers fill this need. Also the illegal growers supply states that have not yet, or may never legalize it,. And it has already been proven (by getting caught) some 'dispensaries' have been buying from illegal growers to cut their costs. Most end users don't know the difference.
Apply this example to all other drugs and the result will be the same.
In your neck of the woods; Cagle Addition & everything along Burgess (west of Huntington) 99% of the grows do not have water rights. Medical grows & otherwise are using well water. This is stealing water from the public. Just about anyone that should enforce marijuana laws is aware and does nothings.
When push comes to shove, whiskey is for drink'en & water is for fight'en;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;going to be interesting.
Do we grow food/raise livestock or use stolen water to grow marijuana?
