“Walking the streets without crime because of drugs is my business too.”
Can you possibly be ignorant of the fact that their being illegal creates crime? Real crime, too, not the “crime” of using drugs, which can only be considered criminal with a perverted sense of justice. I imagine the argument runs in your head like so: drugs are bad, and if people can abuse drugs with impunity they won’t be able to work and will turn to lives of crime.
Well, we have that anyway, seeming as how all prohibition does is push it into the black marks. Plus, we have lives of crime subsidized by black market trade. Plus again, we have all the loss of freedom to go along with gubmint’s increasingly desperate mission to do the impossible.
I can see you assuming that drug abuse would be worse in the absense of the Drug War, even subtracting the concomitant trafficking crimes. But I’d be happy to trade, for then we’d be punishing actual crimes. You know, malum in se crimes, not the “crime” of self-abuse. That could always be handled by nature, as I said, if it’s so bad.
You should see the link I posted about the liberalization of marijuana and the increase of crime.
The common sense truth is when you make more drug addicts you increase crime.
Your freedoms then get flushed.
If you can’t deal with simple truth because drugs are that important, then you are a failure to your country.
