ItIsntJustAboutYou do you buy petrol or anything made in China? Because if you do the your argument is null and nothing but the self righteous ramblings of a do gooder hypocrite!
What you've said takes nothing away from the fact that any one user does in fact contribute to and participate in dealings that causes lots of harm and pain for a lot of people (many of which don't want anything to do with drugs).
So basically you are saying that you are against a "major trend in global crime", but only if the governments of the world have to deal with the mess, and that you yourself (addressing anyone that uses here) accept no responsibility for the fact that YOUR use keeps the misery going. What's worse is that drugs are by no means a necessity in life. Everyone's use and/or abuse remains a choice (with the exception of those already addicted).
YOU want it legalized so you don't have to stand in a bathroom stall and snort a line, or drive to a shady part of town to get your stuff, or take risk getting in trouble with the law, or risk putting something in your body that you have no idea how it was produced or if someone had to sh*t it out after they got off a plane before you put it up your nose.
Please, please, please, don't act as if your main intention is to help reduce crime, or help those with substance problems. It happens that it might be a convenient positive for you to rest your argument on, when all you really want is not to have such a hassle getting your stuff. If you actually did care about people that suffer from the illegal global drug trade, you'd say, "You know what, I don't really want to be a part of this because it is horrific and disgusting", but you don't say that do you? You just keep on using and not worry about who you are harming because getting high is more important.
With the exception of those addicted, NO ONE (no matter how miserable) has the right to do ANYTHING that imposes negatives on anybody else. Especially when its something so pathetic as doing something that is solely for pleasure or escape.
Don't dare try and excuse yourself from culpability or responsibility for all the harm that is caused by drugs. Anybody that is still at a point as to whether or not they can choose to use is at fault.
Do you guys ever ask yourself questions like, "Would I want my kids to do this?", "Would I want my family knowing I am doing this?", "Would I want my son/daughter to date someone like me?".
Again Moonmixer the YOU in this post isn't "you", its anyone who uses those drugs that cause pain and suffering and misery for friends, family, or people halfway around the world.
