Make drugs legal and we will see a lot more Jared Loughners
I agree. Of course, they don't enforce the anti-drug laws now, so we're already seeing them. Remember, it's all a "lifestyle choice" nowadays. But drugs are seriously dangerous.
The reason alcohol is accepted is that in general, moderate use doesn't harm people and is actually even nutritionally beneficial. But there is nothing beneficial about drugs.
The same friend of mine who was verging on psychosis from her dope smoking could also barely walk up a flight of stairs...at the age of 16...without wheezing and coughing because she smoked so much. Pot smoke is apparently much higher in tar (that would be hashish) and more damaging than cigarette smoke, but that doesn't matter to the average leftist druggie, no matter how much he hates tobacco smoking.
