It is silly to try to suggest that because Hitler was against drug use, those of us who oppose legalization are in league with despots...But to play the game, Jimi Hendrix, John Entwisle, Janice Joplin, and a number of other rock stars were for legalization....oh but they can't vote on the issue...they are DEAD...drugs killed them.

They aren't using up all those medicare resources that Kevin keeps harping about?

Sounds like they paid a high price for their stupidity. It was their decision to play the game. It was their bad luck to come up "snake-eyes". If people were not so protected from the consequences of thier actions, more people might think twice.

And people don't kill people, guns kill people. Thus, we should ban all guns.

Drugs didn't kill these people, their irresponsible use of drugs did. They could have easily died from alcohol poisoning or pefscription drug abuse. Why are you trying to absolve people from the their share of the blame by blaming OBJECTS instead of people?

BINGO, WE HAVE A WINNER.

It is equally as silly to try to suggest that because SOROS or any other god-damn socialist on the planet is for drug legalization, those of us who oppose the War on Drugs are in league with SOCIALISTS.

Do you guys flippin' get it yet?!?!?!?

It is silly to try to suggest that because Hitler was against drug use, . . .

Hitler was a heavily addicted drug abuser, as were many of is top lieutenants (e.g., Georing, who was addicted to opiates). The Nazis experimented in hallucinogens including psilocybin, and the Wehrmacht itself depeneded on ampthetamines almost as much as it did diesel fuel.

Hitler looooooooved drugs. Had he lived in America today, he would been a card-carrying libertarian.
