“The nightmare of law enforcement is having crime go down when criminal acts are legalized. That seems to be what’s happening when it comes to marijuana. And one can extrapolate that some or even much of the lawlessness that government intends to protect us from likely doesn’t exist. On the contrary, it will likely create a good many jobs, a thriving additional industry and improve the quality of life for many who will enjoy the plant recreationally or use it medicinally. One could, of course, extend this observation to numerous other so-called victimless crimes where both parties consent to the so-called criminal activity.”
