LOL @ GOP Rep. Trey Radel

I do. It's illegal and he's a lawmaker. We need to elevate our standards. They are slipping rapidly, and your comment is proof.

I think we need to reevaluate our drug policies. We spend billions fighting the supply side of narcotics with no significant impact. I'm sure the prison-industrial complex is happy about that but it also destroys families, particularly minorities

You don't have standards?

Of course I do. And many are likely as different from yours, as many would be similar.

So again I ask, who decides what the standards are?

I think we should expect our elected officials to abide by the laws they make for starters. And pay the consequences the same way we do when they break them. I'm not okay with a United States Congressman doing cocaine.

I agree with that. But I do agree that the drug laws, and especially the way they are enforced, need to be amended.

the best categorization i've read of the "War on Drugs" is the way it's amended to read "The War on [some classes of people who do some types of] Drugs"
