I have found that arguing with people who want drugs lagalised is a terrible waste of time, so excuse me for not carrying this further.
I lean to the side of legalization. I don't minimize the arguments against it.
But weren't all drugs legal, including opium, until about 100 years ago?
Thousands are doing so already - and all the laws against it accomplish is to channel hyperinflated drug profits into criminal hands. And there's no reason to expect a substantial increase in drug use under legalization; how many people are undeterred by the dangers of the drugs themselves yet undeterred by the remote chance of arrest?
Hey buy all the dope you want man. Theres plenty of room in the next cell.
Nonresponsive. I want no dope - but many others do and are undeterred by the remote chance of arrest ... so all the laws against it accomplish is to channel hyperinflated drug profits into criminal hands.
And all the laws against killing in Chicago are a waste of time in the South Side, Lets just get rid of those laws.
The laws against drugs are not just a waste of time but an active detriment across the nation - whereas nationally 2 of 3 murders are solved. And murder violates rights, unlike drug making, selling, buying, or using.

Funny how you were willing to start the argument and reply twice, and only determined it was a "waste of time" when it became clear you were losing badly.
