Yet those laws don’t stop them.

But they should still be held accountable. Do you propose eliminating all laws that aren’t 100% effective?

 

[C-south]

can also happen with alcohol yet...

I think butterfingers are good AF!

I understand you don't want to see the inconvenient truth directly in front of you. You need the govt to tell you what is good and what is bad despite evidence they don't care about you

I propose eliminating all laws that are not moral, such as giving the government the right to kidnap people for owning their own bodies.

What? I know drugs are bad. Even though your deflection is irrelevant I know alcohol abuse is also bad. I don’t need the government to tell me anything and I don’t mind laws that police drugs or alcohol abuse.

Your shift was irrelevant but it did demonstrate that bad things happen with legal and illegal drugs. No matter how much you want to control others, sometimes bad things will happen.

You obviously have no idea about what these drugs to your body nor how fragile the next generation is.

Yeah I do.

Hold them accountable for abusing the child. No law is 100% effective, drug laws I would guess are barely 10% effective.

Your rights end where someone else’s begins. If someone is geeked out on bath salts threatening people they should be held accountable. If someone is cooking meth they are endangering other people. I just don’t see where all these chill meth heads and drug addicts relaxing at home are being corralled up unless they’ve given a reason to be.

It doesn’t matter if they’re “geeked out on bath salts“ or drank too much coffee when a person harms another they should be held accountable. If I’m cooking meth or cooking spaghetti and harm someone else I should be held accountable.

I’ll go out on a limb and say drugs are directly connected to more crimes than coffee or even alcohol.

 

[1vol8]

Yeah I do.

Lord help you

 

[hog88]

Yes because of how much money is involved.

 

[hog88]

Lord help you

He doesn’t GAS about our opinions.

I think we all recall the continued wave of alcohol related murders after prohibition was repealed. Legend has it they're still shooting each other over Canadian whiskey and bathtub hooch.

I think the alcohol weapon of choice for murder is now the automobile

 

[Rickyvol77]

Actually a drug user can get clean and then lead a life where that doesn't follow them around. Licking then up did the opposite and creates a lifetime of hardship

Violent crime followed because it has been made an illegal act and allows people to prey on others.

75-85% of all drug addicts never recover

 

[Rickyvol77]

That's a different act altogether. When you remove the criminality of act 1 then act 2 goes away as well

That’s absolutely not the case

 

[Rickyvol77]

Did crimes related to illegal booze go down after prohibition?

Not the same thing. At all.

 

[Rickyvol77]

It not BS. I’ve witnessed it myself and have spoken to the chief, he knows exactly what’s going on.

Im talking about your small limited experience of a podunk department and extrapolating that most police officers are using steroids, are “punks” or are looking for a fight.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Because of the immense amount of money.

Which doesn’t go away with legalization

Which doesn’t go away with legalization

Case in point, legalized marijuana. I'm ambivalent toward marijuana but I don't buy for a second that the value will go down if legalized.

Very few users of heroin or meth recover long term

 

[hog88]

Not the same thing. At all.

How is it different?

I didn’t say most police officers. I said most young ones, under 30.
