Author Topic: legalize all drugs... (Read 1954 times)

lazs2 · « **on:** August 26, 2006, 07:06:01 PM »

for adults. Another thread got sidetracked...

I feel that there is no need for the "war on drugs". The so called war gets my car broken into and $1500 worth of car destroyed for a dime bag worth of drugs that some murdering scum drug dealer puts out on the street...

It fuels the black clad ninja secret police and the drug cartels and the endless expense and political bs posturing.

Don't get me wrong... I am a former drug addict and alcoholic and dealer and criminal... I hate the frigging whole drug scene but.... I know how ridiculous any "war" is on it.

Who is winning? are adults afraid of being busted by the police? hell no... Are the cartells and street level dealers ever gonna quit making that 5,00000 % profit? don't make me laugh!

Want to stop drug abuse for the most part (at least better than we do now)? Want to put the dealers and criminals out of business?

Make the drugs legal but... If you get caught driving under the influence... is is a DUI... any amount.

Give employers the right to drug test employees if they want. they have the right to have a drug free of allmost drug free workplace if they want.... or not..

It's not the cops the casual user fears.... it is his livelyhood and his drivers licence. And it is the casual user who is funding the murderous gansters in the drug trade.

ya got a better idea? lets hear it.

I love touring Amsterdam where the burnouts are constantly bugging your for money. I love seeing the wasted lives due to easily available drugs.

Do you think there is no crime since drugs are so easy to get? Do you think drug addicts are differant there? Do you think they don't steal there to feed an addiction? If you think any of that is the case, you are mistaken.

Better yet. They steal any and all medications theur parents and grandparents have. No matter what they are.

They then choose to snort, smoke, and who knows what else. Supposedely Viagra is supposed ot be good for snorting....

Just as a reminder. This is white suburbia. By no means a bad part of town.

I don't think its a "leftist" idea. It makes sense. It is logical. But I don't see the government of the USA ever giving the official nod to legalize heavy drugs.

I also try to "never say never." But it wouldn't happen for a very long time.

I'm kinda for legalizing drugs... kinda.

But then the government would have to be, in effect, the supplier for good smack or whatever. It begins to sound like socialism. The more I think about it, the more unlikely it seems that a USA government, or the people for that matter, would ever allow it.

How bout telling people how to get some of that sobriety you've got?

A better idea would be to have done this a long time ago.

One thing about drug testing at work though, if drugs are legal employers should not be able to fire workers for having trace amounts in their system. They should be able to fire them for working while high, but not for doing something legal on their own time.

Gunthr · « **Reply #9 on:** August 26, 2006, 08:07:09 PM »

true, eskimo... there are a lot of angles to it. To me, the biggest thing is that drug dependancy is bad, and culture in this country will not soon elect politicians who will legalize drugs... not to mention that it would be worse for our society that what we have now, my 2 cents.

We could solve the drug problem tomorrow if we just poisoned the confiscated drugs and then put them back out on the street.

Tylenol sales went in the dumper when it happened to them.

Taking the libertarian track, Government has no right to legislate what anyone willingly does in their own home (that doesn't hurt someone else). So home based Mary Jane use is OK by me.

That doesn't mean that I think Marijuana is good, but it isn't as bad as some people say it is.

That being said, I think there should be severe penalties for DUI with pot. Past that, I think each state should decide whether public consumption should be legal.

But a big no to any other drug.

Unless it's smoking....tobacco... we should heavily legislate against that.

So looking at kiddie porn is ok then?

IMO smoking pot and doing hard core drugs are very different. Both seen as bad to me. But Id be willing to accept legislation on one and not the other.
