you don't have to pay registration or insurance either if you don't own a car, you could ride in someone else's car for free, so forget about the 5 other dudes carpooling, they could carpool with anyone. now the guy with the fake social and the license and the car... that guy is paying taxes same as you, right? and I know plenty of people who have survived on less than $5 an hour... No, I don't... I think the BULK of the problem stems from the law forbidding people from putting into their own bodies what they want. Now your casual user has to deal with a "criminal" by virtue of the fact that there is a law against it. If drugs were legitimate, there would be real competition, and the free market would flourish. illegal drugs would become safer, real chemical engineers would be empolyed by drug manufacturers, their operations would be overseen by health and safety agencies...etc etc...
