Could pot and hookers save Detroit?
    #14324305 - 04/20/11 06:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

DETROIT (AP) -- Denver's already the Mile High City, but one outspoken Michigander thinks Detroit should embrace the nickname.

The Detroit Free Press reports attorney and occasional political candidate Geoffrey Fieger recommended legalizing marijuana and prostitution in the cash-strapped city during a taping of WWJ-TV's "Michigan Matters" program. The show airs at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Fieger says he could turn the city around in "five minutes" by telling police "to leave marijuana alone and don't spend one dime" enforcing laws against it or prostitution. He says such moves would attract young people and "make Detroit a fun city."

Oakland County Executive Brooks Patterson joined Fieger on the show and says those steps wouldn't fix unemployment or illiteracy.

Fieger is best known for having been assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian's attorney for many years.

"Could pot and hookers save Detroit?"  No....  It is a straight cesspool.  Don't think legal hoes and weed would save motown....  I am thinking more along the lines of thermonuclear warhead.

That us a great Idea actually.

Drug and sex tourism are a HUGE industry and some of the classic destinations are not what they used to be.

Anyone who knows Windsor Ontario at all knows that EVERYONE crosses the boarder for 3 things - relaxed drug laws, massage parlours and untaxed casino winnings. 

Detroit could take a huge chunk of that tourism.

i think we can all agree Prohibition is the main cause of crime out there if pot wasn't illeagle more tax dollars less gang dollars same for everything from cocaine to hookers and i lived in Detroit for 9 years its not that bad its just what happens when you take all the jobs and schools away and insert corruption and douche bags so i think a nuclear warhead is a bit too much but u cant blame people for trying to make a living when faced with no jobs maybe not everyone is able to over come hardship like others

What relaxed drug laws? I live here we definitely DONT have relaxed drug laws. Also crossing the boarder for a 150 dollar hand job is probably one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard.

Likely It is the combo of untaxable casino winnings and $150 handjobs. 

I am not from windsor, but I have had no problem smoking freely on the street.

Perhaps I just got lucky. 

As to the Prohibition causing most crime in Detroit.  I dont agree.  I believe it has MUCH more to do with the unemployment rate. 

It used to be a great place with plenty of opporitunity for whites and blacks.  The Auto plants shut down...  The whites moved away and the blacks were left with no hope.  Drugs and were a symptom of an ecconomically devistated community, IMO.  Violent crime arose out of tremendous competion for the little money that was around. 

Still, either way it remains; Turning Detroit into a mecca of soft drug and sex tourism would really help that city...  Even just for temporary recovery and moentum to develope a new direction.

It worked for many other cities in the world.
