Two wrongs don’t make a right.
drugs shouldn’t be legalized even if it maens a smaller government.
Anyone who will starting taking drugs if they were legalized please pipe up here.
YES!
If we have any more Government interference in our lives....
I WILL NEED MORE DRUGS!!!!!!
While some government is inherently inimical to liberty, the biggest problem with big government is coercing taxpayers to finance it. So to legalize and tax a previously illegal substance doesn't grow government in an objectionable way, but rather "reduces the onerous burden of the War on Drugs, which has been used an excuse to expand the size and scope of government."
The welfare class approves this message ...
> Anyone who will starting taking drugs if they were legalized please pipe up here.
Not me but I bet the majority of libs are drug users to one degree or another. If legalized it will only up their dosage so expect to see poorer work performance, more theft and burglaries, more accidents, more violent outbursts and left shootings, etc...
The reality of libertarianism/liberalism, is that they lead to larger government.
The gains of libertarians and the left in the last 50 years, has proven that, now conservatism is almost non-existent, and soon to be erased entirely as the left/libertarians use social issues to take over the American vote by destroying our people, communities, culture and nation and moral structure.
Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian Party curtain.
Libertarian Party Platform:
Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.
Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.
Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments.
Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.
Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions.
Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.
Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
“drugs”
There all sorts of drugs now that are legal.
My neighbor does not smoke pot, she has said if it is legalized she would try it out.
Ok, that’s only one person but I suspect many more feel like she does.
Are you saying that only welfare recipients use illegal drugs?
If so, you would be wrong.
Make drug testing mandatory to apply for welfare. Ends that problem right there...
Still too many folks on welfare? End welfare. It isn’t in the Constitution...
Problem solved.
My mom told me (1958):
first drugs were ignored
then became unacceptable
then became illegal
then ignored
the problem will arise when they become mandatory
If they tax it that much a black market will develop to avoid the tax.
My personal opinion is that pot should be legal but not harder-core drugs. Pot should be taxed at a reasonable rate that does not create a black market and the taxes should go to fund rehabs and treatment centers. Would that happen? I doubt it, but that is what I would want.
No, I’m not saying that ... but many people on welfare are on welfare because their chief problem is substance abuse.
but can you imagine the howl from the Democrats?
So we legalize pot, the guv gets more money and needs to spend less money for enforcement. Does anyone here think that the guv will reduce the amount of enforcement officers?
stupid question, we have too many dopes taking drugs today and the last thing we need is for more dopes to be walking about and not taking life seriously because in their warped mind it’s all about me and me getting high.
Yep. Kinda makes you giggle a bit inside just thinking about it...
