That's all well and good, but don't then whine about peoples' lives being ruined because they're in jail.
You 'whined' irrationally back at #74:
Yeah, just think of the millions of lives that could have been saved if only pot wasn't banned.
I then commented:
Do you really think putting millions of people in prison for pot over the last 40 years hasn't ruined more than a few lives?
Try to keep up with your own empty rhetoric.
Well, I have. You're trying to equate the plight of drug users/dealers who consciously decide to flaunt the law and end up in jail or dead for their mistakes with the plight of the millions of entirely innocent victims of malaria, who could have been saved if DDT weren't banned.
The two situations are entirely different, and it's a small mind indeed that will not or cannot appreciate the difference.
People in jail for drugs had a choice in the matter. That makes all the difference in the world. Your moral equivalence argument just won't fly.
