Drugs is a broad category....... Otherwise some respectable examples

It's a broad category of wasteful regulation

Definition of what?

I'll assume you're talking about the second amendment. And if you allow the government to declare you an enemy of the state and take your gun rights, then what's the point in having a second amendment?

I've seen too many horror stories involving drug use and etc. to totally agree. I think pot is a joke and less of a concern than alcohol though.

Those horror stories are their choice, not yours. I don't think giving your kids Mountain Dew is a good idea since heart disease is the biggest killer in our nation; but I'm not trying to ban Mountain Dew either

Agree on the Mtn Dew, but last I checked Mtn Dew isn't quite as addictive as opioids.

You're actually wrong on that. Sugar is more addictive than opioids.

For those that think as you, would drug users who become addicts get support (financial, medical, psychological, or rehabilitory)?

Sure. Provided by friends, family, and charity. I'm actually working on organizing a support group for addicts in my area.

The human body actually requires glucose to function...... But not opium, heroin, cocaine, etc.

 

[Vol8188]

Not from taxpayers?

No. But it would still be more cost effective than hiring cops to track them, paying court cost to try them, and then paying to take care of them in prisons.

Your body can function off a diet consisting of nothing but fat and protein actually. Both of those are essential. Glucose is not.

But either way, it's not glucose we are discussing. It's sucrose

One more Q...if I cause the accidental death of someone tweaked out of their mind (they run out into street or similar) original have to take their life in defense of my property or safety, would you agree to prosecutorial immunity?

If you were not negligent in your actions, sure. If they were high, but you ran a red light or something else, then you should be charged.

Agree completely.

If your version of drug decriminalization was the law of the land I'd be all for it

I've not been in this discussion other than reading, but let's leave my Mountain Dew out of it mkay!

What are some laws that are on the books that you feel do not cause any harm to others?

All the ones we break everyday without knowing it.
