I dispute that hard liquor is "readily" available to kids - who report that they can get illegal-for-adults pot more easily than they can get legal-for-adults beer.
Once hooked, a lifetime of fighting addiction.
Marijuana is less addictive than alcohol.
Staggering around in a daze, desperate and cold-blooded, abandoning and destroying families, ,leeching off welfare,
So you thought "Reefer Madness" was a documentary?
robbing pedestrians, and breaking into houses.
Legalization brings down prices and thus drug-buy-motivated theft.
Heroin is extremely addictive, and today’s highly potent marijuana is not only harmful to the body but a gateway drug to cocaine and heroin. No matter how many low-level drugs you throw at people, they will push against the boundaries and seek ever harder stuff. You need simple bright lines against dangerous drugs. No marijuana allowed!
Your compromise solution – the heroin-and-Jack Daniels utopia — will still have burdensome rules and be a big, malignant mess. Even if drugs are cheap, addicts will still need living expenses. They will mug people and break into houses to support themselves. Or go onto welfare and get free drugs forever.
Yep — Reefer Madness revealed the truth. It showed the libertarian obsession with getting high on marijuana. Most (juvenile-minded) libertarians care little about “good libertarianism” — rolling back harmful economic laws involving minimum wage, runaway entitlements, insider trading and antitrust etc. What they love most is drugs, sex and rolling back the laws of God.
