Dude, I agree with you in some ways, if we were only talking about people who smoke weed and take drugs..Unfortunately the government and media connect drugs and violence.....they try to argue that if the drugs wern't around there'd be no violence....but thats just not true....this is about the seperation of drugs and weapons. If drugs were regulated by the government, like alcohol is, there would be no gang violence (at least not associated with that paticular market). Look at Al Capone and the whole boot legging industry before the government decided to take the taxes for themselves .....Unfortunately drug dealing is associated with violence. But that is only because the government chooses not to regulate the drug trade and leaves it up to the gangs and black market.
Weed is the first thing that should be legalized....but in my opinion it really doesn't matter what drug someone is taking. It's their body and they have the right to do to it what they want........all drugs should be legalized and regulated, and the government should collect taxes on any drugs that may have an effect on the total health care costs in the long run....(heres a whole other question...do taxpayers want to pay the med bills for people who smoked ciggarettes and kill themselves? Or are they human and say..."Fuck! people make mistakes! (smoking, over-eating, etc)...I'm here to help provide basic human needs.. even if you did it to yourself..)"
I'm an addictions councellor who works at a methadone clinic in Canada. I have seen people fill their veins with liquid that is somewhat suspect when it comes to quality lol...but when it comes to high quality, clean drugs... (and in my experience there is very little difference between a person who shoots decent smack and a person who smokes a joint or a ciggarette, Really) what is the difference?? (and I'm not talking about addiction potential...I'm talking about damage to your body....A pretty sterile syringe or shot of diamorphine verses SMOKING just about anything... Injecting pharmaceutical grade diamorphine/morphine/hydromorphone etc. is less harmful than smoking tar and poison chemicals into your lungs. Doc never says smoke...but he sticks ya with a needle....
I really hope this doesn't pass, but I'm not as hopeful as some and there is increasing pressure from the states to tighten drug laws.....just look at all the new regulations regarding precurssors and products containing ephedrine and gbl. There are very few small meth lab busts in Canada, and there was no need to regulate the sale of consumer ephedrine products. Most of Canada's homemade meth is manufactured in large scale labs.
