In a sense yes, drugs need to be legalized so the gov. doesn't have a monopoly on drug use here. Oh and if it were legalized it would give less power to the drug lords.
you have more of a chance of some chick running into the back of you putting on her makeup or talking/texting on their cell. the people who want to outlaw this stuff are retarded allowing the govt to take away just more and more freedoms where they do not belong. lets outlaw eating, smoking, listening to the radio, daydreaming etc because it causes wrecks. theres no end to it. the point is people need to be responsible for themselves and we have no business dictating their lives because it makes us feel better or seem more safe so we can sleep better at night. whether its controlling their greasy food intake, carbonated drinks, cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. or even freaking seat belts. this isnt a damn nanny state or at least shouldnt be. even some of the most intelligent people i know have been conditioned to think paternalistic government is normal and right, not even able to understand how terrible all this crap is. its time to wake up, ladies. we dont need protection from ourselves. thats not what its there for nor should it ever be.
Yes he was and he tried to eat that freaking 6lbs monster burrito. The burrito kicked his ass, dude was literally slump over on the table.
The argument for keeping drugs on the illegal list is illogical. The time / energy / money doesn't justify the end result. Salty your argument that basically b/c there would not be more "dangerous" choices that more people would be doing those choices. That is a total fallacy in that because their is a dangerous choice then there is obviously not a dangerous choice. The people that would have done it before will still do it, the people that were going to do it will still do it, and the people that are educated to their tolerance of risk most likely still won't do it. At the end of the day it's about personal responsibility. And for a person that advocates that you can't take the stand here that the govt. has to yet again control that choice for you. And if we are going to waste money it might as well be on law enforcement??? WTF I'll take my tax dollars back, go waste yours if you want.
Legalizing narcotics is not the answer, but decriminalizing it solves a lot of problems. Don't bust addicts, bust the black marketeers and violent drug gangs profiting by it. Like martin says, if a guy wants to zone out on drugs, its his life. I just don't want to put up with the violent drug gangs, Mexican importers, and mafia profiteers making it so expensive that organized crime has a motive to get into it and addicts must resort to crime to pay the price of addiction. In England, all you have to do is register as a heroin addict and you can get methadone at cost--really cheap. So addicts there don't have to burglarize your house to afford to pay drug dealers exorbitant prices. So, it takes the market away from the violent drug gangs. It also brings addicts regularly to the clinic where they can get treatment to get them off the drugs, which most of them want to do. Grass is not a narcotic and non-addictive but it does impair drivers and should be treated just like alcohol. DUI for you if stoned while driving, but no busts for simple possession. Bust illegal growers just like moonshiners and sell legal taxed cannabis at liquor stores to adults. What criminal gangs are going to get involved trying selling pot at $150 an ounce if people can buy it at Albertsons for $10.
In amsterdam they are trying to combat herion use, with....drum role.... Heroin. Why give someone a more powerful, more addictive, synthetic chemical to combat drug addiction? There is a place like a methadone clinic but they supply heavy heroin users with clean needles and real, non stepped on, clean heroin, in a controlled environment.
But what about the market for drug sniffing dogs? Did you guys ever think about THAT?!?! Just you wait until I tell PETA about this...
thats part of the next stimulus plan. painkillers for pets to replace cash for clunkers. it benefits 2500 other industries just by this one program. look it up.
