Making a drug illegal doesn't make it harder to obtain or to get addicted and only gives rise to a criminal class where crime and death rate skyrockets. See: Alcohol Prohibition.
Pot is illegal in Denmark. See: Marijuana in Denmark
The only ones happier are the addicted, ant there are a lot more of them.
And if they're hurting no one but themselves, how is that anyone else's business?
Pot makes people less productive, do we need more welfare cases?
Drinking makes people less productive, too. We tried to outlaw alcohol. It didn't work.
Since when do we legislate productivity? This country was founded on the principle of self-determination. We let people decide for themselves whether they want to be productive members of society or not.
I will say this again. You cannot legislate social behavior. All that does is make criminals of otherwise law-abiding citizens.
Yet you seek to make law abiding citizen out of criminals...
Sorry, don’t think you are arguing out of anything but justification. You know full well that legalizing drugs in Denmark was a disaster of monumental proportions, and helping people kill themselves might work for Dr Kevorkian, but not for society as a whole.
Addiction is a horrendous drain on society as we burden the hard working yet again to clean up the mess on isle nine...
If you can argue to such duplicitous levels it is obvious you are part of the problem, not seeking answers.
I guess others will just have to bear the burden of your sin...
