Note the emphasis on, ON USERS
Carry_Okie: When this country enforced draconian drug laws ON USERS there wasn't a problem. 

When middle class parents wailed about junior's 20 year sentence for a joint, those laws changed.

They don't have a problem in Singapore. Guess why?7

Changed your tune. Now you make a leap to violent crime -- a real criminal act against a victim -- while under the influence.

Carry_Okie: I'm not for making possession, sale, or use illegal, but I AM in favor of heavy penalties for damages done to others while under the influence subject to due process of law. If you call that a police state, get a grip.49

The violent act is the crime, not the drug use. Glad you see that. Now acknowledge the error you made in post 7.

If you think you or your property have been damaged by a person's act of ingesting drugs -- perhaps while they were sitting in their home -- take them to court and try to convince an impartial jury that you were harmed and the extent of that harm so that you may gain restitution for your loss.

No, I wrote that piece over a year ago.

OK. I see your point and shouldn't have written it that way.

I read an article on FR that concerned a guy flashing a girl.

Your solution to that incident would be that if the girl felt that she or her property was damaged by that flasher, that she should take him to court and try to convince an impartial jury that she was harmed and the extent of that harm so that she could gain restitution for her loss?

After seven-odd years of participating on FR WoD threads, I've yet so see a WoD-supporter answer this question . . .
