So-called recreational drugs for adults only.
Highly addictive drugs by prescription of a doctor only.
Rules against driving, operating machinery or any transportation system, guarding nuclear weapons while under the influence.
Maybe....
Ummm, we already have those laws. They have been enacted in every state, and apply to all intoxicants, including alcoholic beverages.
What's missing is a prohibition against taxpayer-funded medical care for the consequences of abuse of intoxicants. And to be fair, I'd include alcohol and tobacco.
You want to quit? Sure, I'll help. But, I'm not paying for damage to your body that you did voluntarily.
I am against the continuing erosion of my right to be secure in my property, person, and effects which has come about as a result of the "War on Drugs", especially the presumptive siezure of property or assets without warrant or probable cause as the result of 'random' searches.
I am against the apparent corruption of the selfsame Law Enforcement Agencies which are there to secure our rights, prompted by profit motive from siezure of assets, or the corruption of those who are supposed to secure our borders (or those in their chain of command) by outside influences.
I am against the continued militarization of civillian police forces in the US.
To deny the profit inherent in selling something illegal, or the enhancement of those profits due to the clandestine nature of the activity involved is ridiculous.
To strip the activity of its profitability, remove the clandestine aspect.
I'll be the first to say that that alone won't clean up the mess--far from it, in fact things will look worse once the cover is stripped from the festering rot beneath.
There will still be 'turf wars'. There will still be the ugliness of addiction, the social problems, and crime, but the money involved will be smaller (and with smaller profit comes smaller incentive), and the real reasons for failing to secure the southern border for over 50 years (not 'cheap farm labor') will lose their overwhelming profitability and luster for those making the decisions to continue the Kabuke they claim is 'security'.
Nuts and bolts:
Drug users, to be legal, must be 18 years of age, a high school graduate or equivalent, and must legally commit to not ever holding jobs which would place them in a position to wreck the train, crash the lane, cause a pileup on the interstate, botch an operation, etc. They must understand they are permanantly signing away their rights to ever being a doctor, being elected to public office, being able to vote, or legally owning a firearm.
In short, sign away most of their options of their future to become a registered drug user, with the full knowledge they are abdicating the rights and responsibility of an adult in our society as well as the benefits which go with it.
Unregistered users would face penalties far worse than current laws as a deterrent to registered use, and if using while performing one of the jobs proscribed for users, would be stripped of all their assets as well.
Commission of crimes of violence and property crimes (theft) under the influence or by a registered user would be dealt with very harshly, as would all violations as a deterrent to breaking those laws.
All of this would be to emphasize the gravity of the choice to use or not use drugs, and the need for good conduct under their influence.
Licensed dealers, distributors, and suppliers would be required to pay taxes, the drugs could be sampled for tests of purity, for contaminants or adulterants.
The bottom line is that currently the use of these substances is underground. The extent is only estimated, those who hold critical jobs not subject to drug testing may use whatever substances they choose (Congress? The Executive Branch?) with relative impunity and no one is the wiser.
Until we restore the widespread cultural contempt for addiction which was present in the America of my youth (the corruption of which occurred mainly in the 60's and '70s and still persists today in pop culture and in media), we won't make any progress.
The war on drugs has been fought in the wrong place. Until we reinstill the widespread desire for excellence in our youth, the motivation to succeed (largely squelched by overbearing regulation in other areas of day-to-day life), the desire to create and build will be overwhelmed by the desire to "Turn on, tune in, and drop out" out of sheer frustration, aided and abetted by the Marxists' rhetoric of class and race 'warfare'.
The fundamental difference between the message of the Liberals and Marxists ("you're nothing, you can't succeed without us") has to be replaced by the concept that America has been built by people who had a dream and pursued it, a desire to be the best and reap the rewards which go with that.
