If alcohol is legal, there's no reason other drugs cant be too. Fuck decriminalization.
What makes it obvious money is the sole objective reason for prohibition is that being high on drugs IS decriminalized, yet possession/conspiring/dealing isn't. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of "keeping people off drugs"? You don't necessarily have to be using to possess a chemical ...
Well you bring up a good point about alcohol being legal. Alcohol is probably one of the most destructive drugs out there, it wrecks more lives then anything. But people think sense it's legal they can maybe give it a try and not be like the countless alcoholics before them that lost that war.
I would like for drugs to be legal like they were in the early 1900's. The problem is some politician probably thinks if drugs were legalized, little johny is going to go to the nearest drug store and start shooting H.
That's probably not the case, people that weren't drug users before, arn't going to become drug users just because it's legal. What's going to happen is people that are already drug users and probably productive members of society, i'm not talking about complete crack heads here. There going to benefit from drugs being easily accesable, cheap, pure, and safe!
So i'm all for legalization. But the reason I said decriminalize, is because it's more realistic for the time being. What would make me proud, is if there was a federal mandate sent out to make possesion of drugs/distribution of drugs law enforcements lowest priority.
Kind of like how some cities/counties have made marijuana the lowest on there list of priorties.
