Yes, I think they should be, but that is another discussion. Whether you think they should be legal or not, theres no real debate in the fact that increasingly strict laws havnt reduced drug use
at all. Sure, the pendulum swings to the low side every once in a while, but quickly swings back up. I brought that up because I think the same thing would happen with abortion, even if the SC overturned Roe V Wade. Sure, we might be able to throw a doctor or woman here and there, in jail for getting or performing an abortion, but it wont come anywhere close to reducing the amount of abortions in any way. Too many people view it as a right.

The courts interpret the laws remember? That's why it's important for the SC Justices to be balanced and mindful of "the other guy," even if it's not their personal point of view.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't look at the individual's personal views, they aren't there to represent themsevles, but to represent the consituents that did vote for them.

Really, what I'm saying is it doesnt matter what the law is, as long as so many people either agree or disagree with the law, it wont change. The laws cannot and will not be enforced effectively.
In my view, if your pro-life, or pro-choice, it should be the last thing you think about, when choosing a candidate.
