Thanks, Hitler for your point of view.
Godwin's Law?
Let me guess, you are a committed stoner and the mere thought of playing Russian Roulette with an illegal toxin offends you - well, the 35,000 murdered and counting from your suppliers offends me and every other person on this planet who are tired of supporting the worthless doper class.
"Mass Murderer" is sort of over the top. Its a self-inflicted wound, unlike the death and carnage that occurs against the innocent when stoners and junkies rob, loot and kill in order to underwrite their next fix.
Junkies and their merchants of death have a rich history in destroying cultures and societies. The dead, maimed and permanently ruined as a result of your sin of choice has a much higher toll of misery than Al Quaida, and look at the level and duration of violence many nations have invested in eradicating that menace that pales in comparison to that which is inflicted by your people.
Narcotics destroyed Columbia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Kosovo and nearly destroyed China a generation ago. Letting people like you self-inject the cure to this societal cancer is a small price to pay for the blessings of ridding your ilk from the face of this earth.
See, it is possible to play the over-the-top rhetoric game without invoking Nazi imagery.

“The Pusher” (lyrics by Hoyt Axton)
You know I smoked a lot of grass.
Oh Lord! I popped a lot of pills.
But I’ve never touched nothin’
That my spirit couldn’t kill.
You know I’ve seen a lot of people walking ‘round
With tombstones in their eyes.
But the pusher don’t care
If you live — or if you die.
God Damn! The pusher.
God Damn! The pusher.
I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.
You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With a lump of grass in his hand.
But the pusher is a monster
Not a natural man.
The dealer for a nickel
Goin to sell you lots of sweet dreams.
Ah...but the pusher will ruin your body;
Lord he’ll leave your mind to scream.
God Damn! The pusher.
God Damn! God damn the pusher.
I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.
Well now if I were the president of this land
You know I’d declare total war on the pusher man.
I’d cut him if he stands, and I’d shoot him if he run,
And I’d kill him with my bible, and my razor and my gun....
GOD DAMN! The pusher
God damn the pusher.
I said God damn! God damn the pusher man!
We have had a draconian "war on drugs" since Harry Anslinger got the Narcotics Act of 1914 passed, and the rate of drug addiction is exactly the same now as it was then.
But let's keep doing what we're doing. Let's make sure the drug cartels have so much money they can destroy entire nations.
I'm all for it.
I'm on your side.
Heroin deaths are up 100 percent in the St. Louis Metro area because of the purity, which is approaching 90 percent for the raw we are seizing.
It’s gotten bad enough that DOJ is starting to prosecute dealers for the deaths of their clients.
Now, keep it that pure and make it free, provided it you use it at a controlled enviroment and you sign a waiver, that was the high death tally scenario I was talking about.
I agree drug associated murders will go down, however, I believe violent crime will go up at least temporarily while gangs try to develop new ways to finance themselves. Armed robberies in particular.
No more so than alcohol. Nope. And since you MADE the statement, it's your burden to back it up. "Everybody thinks so" isn't proof.
And all but heroin are a lot less, by the way.
that often f up peoples minds and bodies permanently and your taxes end up paying for their welfare, medical and disability checks.
Often? Cocaine "often" causes "welfare, medical and disability checks"?
Do you have (I know you really don't) any idea how many doctors, lawyers, and wall street types use coke?
Of course if the drugs come in a form approved by the gov't, they're much safer, right? As long as the drug is effectively traded on NASDAQ - we're good?
Laughable.
Godwin's Law?
No, Moron's law, evidently. You outright called for the poisoning of thousands if not millions of people. Label fits.
Let me guess, you are a committed stoner and the mere thought of playing Russian Roulette with an illegal toxin offends you
Yeah, you're so clever. Let me guess, you're a pork fried cop made of testosterone and hog fat, with a 3" penis and Mommy issues, and you stomp dogs because it makes you feel well adjusted?
We done now?
well, the 35,000 murdered and counting from your
Beer deliveries? Vodka suppliers? Daylight shootouts with rum runners?
Ooops. Nope. All that is over. Because it was made legal, and the obscenity of profit and CORRUPTION was taken out of it.
We will trade 35,000 MURDERED for 15,000 overdosed.
I'm perfectly fine with that, given we also lose:
The Police State.
Surveillance.
Bank snooping.
IRS Reporting.
Warrant-less Searches.
Kicking in doors for plant matter.
Stomping goldfish to death.
Cops shooting innocents.
Crowded courts.
SWAT police tactics.
And we'll also get to fire about half the cops, jailors and other beneficiaries of the War on Drugs.
So yeah, I'm real good with it.
Maybe we can open up some Wal-Marts and we can put those brains to work returning carts and greeting customers.
And do you suppose quality control is an inherent characteristic of LEGAL or ILLEGAL markets?
Just curious.
If it was "BAYER" Heroin (again, that is, for those that do not know history) would you think it would have a consistent quality and delivery? Or do you think junkies would have to guess?
I agree drug associated murders will go down, however, I believe violent crime will go up at least temporarily while gangs try to develop new ways to finance themselves. Armed robberies in particular.
We'd better make some new laws RIGHT NOW. We need to outlaw EVERYTHING - because potentially, Gangs could do something to make more money. And they could do it FROM ANYTHING!!! We have a LOT of work to do. Everything is a problem!!
The Committee To Make Everything Illegal.
CMEI.Hmm... not very catchy.
SUNFO? Save Us Now From Ourselves?
No matter, we'll get the slogans down in time for the photo op.
Just shut down the friggin’ border with our troops. Force everything through legal ports of entry. When they fire a shot at our efforts, hit ‘em with a couple of warheads until they shut up. It’s that simple.
So..I gather you think making illegal drub legal would be a good thing.
The cartels would be just become legal multi millonaires. You think that the cartels would just quit because it would be legal. they would become protected companies.
Americans have enough trouble with drunks. WHy have drugs add to the problems.
Seal the border and fry dealers. Dry the supply and the problem fixes itself.
Why don’t the cartels simply move in and run the alcohol trade.
That’s an easy answer one alcohol users require taste and quality two stoners could care less what they smoke just as long as they get stoned.
So, in order to save the law we kill it and turn to an elite force of police vigilantes who have the power to kill people that they deem drug dealers.
You're so smart.
But I agree with you. I think absolute chaos and a criminal government is the way to go.
OK ... so you’re nuts.
Your kindergarten level sarcasm would be improved if you stopped ingesting substances
You want to give law enforcement agencies the right to kill people that they simply believe to be engaged in drug trafficking, no evidence or due process required, and you say I'm doing drugs.
You're the one in kindergarten.
It would be funny if this rogue agency you want would decide that they like your house, and to get it all they had to do was kill you and say you were a drug dealer.
That would be hilarious.
I'd be surprised if you have two brain cells in a row.
Try 'em and fry 'em. Or hang them
Dry the supply and the problem fixes itself.
A fence on the Mexican border with 5,000-10,000 military patrolling it would seal it shut same as Israel does with fences, sensors and patrols
But the Feds never want to do the easiest, simplest and cheapest plus we have an open borders lobby in DC
Mexico sends us most of the illegal drugs we get. As such they are an enemy nation. A narco nation. If they can't sell their poison drugs here the Mexican narco-gangs go bust. We would be doing Mexico a great favor by sealing the Mexican border and keeping out Mexican trucks.
Seal that border and the drug flow will be 5-10% what it is now and same for illegal aliens
I’m being attacked by two Nanny-staters at once. It’s hard to keep their nonsense straight.
I think the government should protect us from all things harmful, especially ourselves, because people who work for government are far smarter and better than we are.
And if the drug laws are channeling so much money to criminals that they have more money than their governments, that's their government's fault. They should tax the peasants more.
And we shouldn't stop with drugs. If people are fat, we should criminalize fatty foods, whatever that means. Results don't matter. It's our INTENTIONS that matter. We can do anything we want as long as our INTENTIONS are pure.
Anybody who is appalled by the things the WOD has brought like asset forfeiture laws that allow cops to legally steal and entire police departments taking bribes from drug dealers must be a druggie.
I don't even touch alcohol. I bet you do though, don't ya?
