Gee, if my logic was "imbecilic at best", what would be the worst case? If my "rhetoric" was so "imbecilic", why did you condescend to respond to it? Of all the things to get insulting about, the right to keep and bear drugs is not one of them. Sanctimony should be reserved sacred things, not whether (or not) you get your freak on. Thomas Jefferson you aint. Step away from the bong, Zon (or needle/coke spoon/angel dust). You're the one who wants to use the arguments of cost effectiveness, jail overcrowding, and (most of all) the "failure" to arrest every drug dealer and seize every kilo of drugs as reasons to make your (and everyone else's) favorite drugs available at popular prices. If my imbecilic analogies hit a little too close to home, sorry!
You advocate enlisting government agents to initiate harm/force against people that have not harmed anyone but perhaps themselves. The act of ingesting drugs harms no one but the user. Don't give me the communitarian/socialist pap about increasing health care costs for the community because fat people are worse in that regard as are tobacco users and alcohol users and a list of others.
But it's not a war against inanimate objects. It's a war against people. How pathetic are you?
what a poor argument...presuming somebody is doing drug because he's in favor of particular party...the argument of cost effectiveness, jail overcrowding, and (most of all) the "failure" to arrest every drug dealer and seize every kilo of drugs are still good arguments no matter what you put in your body...i don't sufer from the WOD because i live in quebec and i can smoke pot as i want, most people do, and still am one really productive member of society, but i do have sympathy for those who get in jails when they should be treated for a health problem, because it is really what it is, that's it. If you didn't experienced with drug you cannot say the opposit.
You guys are still stuck with a religious mentality that leads nowhere...God (whoever or whatever it is) doesn't want us living as dead people, he wants us to LIVE!!! I am a really balanced person, i make choices reasonabely but i am not putting my limits where the governments puts them because they are not balanced, they have a motive of profit...How do you want to trust somebody with a profit motive???
