If all taxes went to fund police in schools would you be for legalizing recreational marijuana federally?

The real problem is that whenever a revenue source is created the money never goes for what it was intended, I.E. Lottery, Gas tax, etc etc etc. Politicians always find a away to steal the money.

Pot should already be legalized - just like Hemp should not be an issue - especially with all the uses for each of these plants - but then again if they were both legalized it would probably put the pharmaceutical companies out of business.

As for funding police in schools - leave that to the states and local municipalities - not the Federal

I am already for legalizing recreational MJ federally. Economically it makes sense. Heck, legalizing ALL drugs and then taxing and regulating them would be more than enough to pay for Universal Health Care - which would cover any medical issues arising from any potential increase in drug-related problems.

As for more cops, I don't think we really need any more - we really need to use the ones we have more wisely. We've slipped into an us v them mentality when it comes to policing, and that's the wrong answer. We need to get back to community-oriented policing where the police are a PART of the community they are protecting and serving. We need fewer cops worrying about whether you're doing 40 in a 30 and more who are walking the streets and talking to the people.

I find it interesting and curious that the same people who are for legalizing pot for recreational consumption are against tobacco and vaping in public spaces, saying that they are a health hazard.

Bad idea, most people forget that marijuana used to be legal. As well as cocaine, heroin and other drugs. They became illegal when their negative impact on society became unbearable. I have no doubt that weed will become legal throughout the U.S. in the near future. And then it will revert back to being illegal in 20-30 years after doing much damage.

However, I do applaud your out of the box thinking to address out school security issue.

Absolutely not, and never for the military. I have seen the effects of marijuana in Vietnam.

SPC David Willis Think there should be a few more options. I agree with whoever said we don't need more police, and I'm unsure if we really need to fund police in schools. When we had a plane crash into the twin towers airport security became a huge deal. Why can't we have that type of security on our public schools? With this type of income, you could do away with school systems all together, and have a laptop for every child, pay teachers to work from home, computer technicians to help out students at their house. Then lecture in small settings, have sports teams etc for social functions. That's off on a huge tangent, anyhow, I guess I would say I am against it.

In the 60's and 70's weed was the gateway to harder drugs on the street, that information came from the hard drug users that I spoke too, and there were many on the street at that time and place, murder was a common thing, like once a week or more attached to drug use.
In 1973 DMZ Korea, most smoked weed in the platoon, openly and not, hell even the Lt. smoked weed. MJ costed $2 legal size envelope, $5-5# sugar bag, $30 Pillow case, and $50 duffle bag, it was very cheap there, as well as hard liquor, $8 Chavez scotch, all others $2.
I've seen where on patrol some stupid higher then a kyte solder started shooting up the place because a rabbit ran across him while we layed on ambush, north of the fence. Everyone started shooting at anything, we even called in 105's for flares and HE, but the rabbit got away.
Later on, we all laughed because the North Koreans probably shit in their pants, and got out of NoMan's Land that night in a hurry. The ROK platoon on patrol that night later told us, "You F??ken GI's, you got the whole f??king line on alert, we all laughed and told them we were hunting for rabbits.
The weed use in the platoon then lead to the use of OJ's (MJ laced with Opium cigarettes) $20 for a pack of 20 cigarettes, 2 drags on one of those brought the platoon into LaLa land, in Technic Color, that numbed your brain. I could see why a lot of men didn't want to come back to the world, and get their heads straight.
Long story short, I just wanted to tell you the progression from weed to a harder drug, with living proof. We could of all got killed out there on ambush that night, just because of weed use, and maybe that rabbit saved all of our lives, and the North Korean's lives too.

It’s all bullshit, we are having the conversations they want us to have. There is more than enough of our money to fund security for our schools. If anybody wants to argue that, I’m all ears.

But aren't cops all "evil racists"?
I'd rather minimize taxes AND prohibitions, and instead leave it up to states on how to handle security in their indoctrination centers.
