Glenn Harlan Reynolds/Instapundit USA Today Column: 6 bills the GOP should pass.
- End the federally imposed 21-year-old drinking age.
- Decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.
Follow link for other 4.
I can support all 6 of these proposals. Decriminalizing marijuana at the Federal level makes sense, there are better ways to spend our tax dollars, not to mention tax collections from its sale. Its classification as a Schedule 1 drug is a combination of idiocy, pure government incompetence and a healthy does of malice.
I’m not nearly so enthusiastic about state legalization as it seems to have brought a level of chaos to Colorado and the associated drug trade in the surrounding states. That said, there are a lot more important things to worry about. I’m willing to entertain the experiment and in fact it’s happening right in front of my eyes (no not literally).
