Impossible.. The liberals on here keep saying that the only thing that can save us is legalizing.
People are going to take drugs anyway. Let them.
Just don’t cut them any slack if they commit any crimes while high.
As a counselor I have spoken with crack addicts who said they wished the MJ was as easy to get as crack, because they would prefer. Since dates are not given there is no way to evaluate whether the increase in robbery and other crimes not to mention the desire to get blotto is due to the world economy going to heck in 2008. When Point Barrow in Alaska prohibited alcohol, the crime rate dropped 70%. People on pot tend to be mellow, not violent unless it is laced with PCP or similar.
Remember correlation is not causation. I am told that in Portugal and Switzerland the results have been quite different when drug laws were lightened.
Yup. One big happy Choom Gang. What foreign power would ever want to bother with peaceful lil’ us?
Something in these studies doesn’t add up. Decriminalizing it and legal, regulated sale are not the same. So the study looks at the same distribution method as when illegal. Pot is a stepping stone drug because the pot dealer sells more than pot. If pot came from a liquor store (UK lets minors drink I think?) its use among kids would be no worse than booze. The pot man wouldn’t turn buyers onto harder drugs. The pot wouldn’t be laced with pcp or worse.
We delegalize soda, but legalize pot...so amazing the nuance and complicity of the liberal mind.
