Where do you draw the line?
Legalize pot - OK.
Legalize meth? 100% addictive from the first time you use it. It will destroy your life in a matter of months.
You really want that for sale at your local Wal-Mart?
Absolute nonsense. Hysteria much?
Agreed.
Legalize meth? 100% addictive from the first time you use it.
False - however, legalization of harder drugs can wait until we've turned pot policy back over to the states and learned what lessons there are from near-nationwide legalization.
The question to ask is, would you do meth if it was legal? No probably not, most people won’t. Those who would will try it anyway legal or not, it’s not that hard to get a hold of.
Using all the money spent on actual measures to treat addicts and make sure once you get hooked you can make a recovery is far more beneficial, see the free heroin treatment facilities in the Netherlands, Canada or Switzerland. Legalization doesn’t mean it is available in wal mart necessarily, but it means revenue for the state and tighter control on potency as well as quality - something that has a severe positive impact on addiction as well.
Nothing is 100% and nothing is addictive from first use... Well maybe oxygen.
“You really want that for sale at your local Wal-Mart?”
Let’s take the warning labels off everything and let nature takes its course. We’ve got just way too many stupid people breeding.
Do you really need to be told that meth is bad for you? Do you? Cigarettes have come with warning labels for 60 years. People still smoke. Let them. Go die. I could care less.
