Same arguments were used during Alcohol prohibition.
As for modern drugs, prices drop=less crime. Restore our true RKBA to us and we'd be able to easily defend ourselves against the 1/10 of .1% who get violent while under the influence. Plus, we could actually keep violent repeat offenders in jail longer as we wouldn't have them full of non-violent hippies who's only crime was possession.
But the users will still steal, still rob and still do crimes to get money for their habits.
People do this for food, sex, and out of a sense of sheer chaos. Maybe we should just make everything illegal...

Prices would drop? Like in cigarettes? give me a break, they are outrageously taxed now. That is why people are smuggling them across the boarder of Canada at an alarming rate.
The Right to KBA . I agree with 100% but you have a large percentage of the population that will not or can not use them. Are you willing to go out and protect someone else grandmother? I doubt it. because that is who they will target.
>1/10 of .1% who get violent while under the influence.<
you are SO far off base you have not seen anyone on crystal meth have you? PCP? Pot laced with either of these?
I am a living witness that the numbers are far greater than you are posting. I am also here to tell you about something called ambulation after death. Look it up, it’s damn scary.
I have seen hand cuffs ripped apart, street signs ripped from the ground and officers attacked with them. Doors to patrol cars kicked from their hinges.
You could shoot these people and they will still beat you to a bloody pulp.
yet somehow, YOU are going to stop all of this, or you believe that all americans are gonna have guns and stop it, But you fail to realize that everyone does not want a gun. Even many that do, if not most, would never shoot someone when it comes down to it.
Now we are talking about non violent hippies, but your not counting all the other users .. are we talking about pot or hard core drugs?
