The Drug Warriors usually toss up a few feeble pseudo-arguments before sinking to personal attacks. I guess they've given up even pretending to have a defensible position.

I've worked for 20+ years in the ER of a large hospital located in a major city.If you've got a couple of days I'll start to explain the devastation that drugs cause.

Libertarians,bless their little hearts.

That devastation has come about despite the War On Drugs - and there's no evidence that it would increase if the War On Drugs ended.

You mean, drugs like alcohol, which cause more misery and death than all others combined?

As for "illegal" drugs, do you really think that contraband law, which fills our prisons with non-criminals who have possessed the wrong substance, and results in the early release of violent (actual) criminals, helps ameliorate this "devastation"?

Petty Drug War Fascists, bless their Tyrannical little Constitution-trampling hearts...

Would you care to hazard a guess as to what might happen with bank robbery stats if it was completely (or even partially) "decriminalized" nationwide?

I’ve asked you before, and you never can answer.

Name me one (1) solid conservative politician that supports your pro-dope agenda.

(Note. Barney Frank and Ron Paul ARE NOT conservatives.)

You can blow your bong hit smoke all over the issues. The fact is... You are promoting a LIBERAL agenda.

Hazarded guesses are not evidence.

How many people who are deterred by the prospect of prison are undeterred by the prospect of addiction or death? Would YOU use drugs if they were legal?

[JustSayNoToNannies]

Did anybody claim drugs are good for you? Should I post some pics of what alcohol abuse does to people?

[jmacusa]

Never had to deal with booze though, right? Prohibitionists, bless their little hearts.

So we need to keep the drug war going so drug dealers will not turn into bank robbers?

No you haven't.

Conservatism is not defined by politicians.

(But Paul Ryan says marijuana laws should be up to the states. Do you agree with him?)

your pro-dope agenda.

I'm pro-freedom not pro-dope. Do you support the legality of tobacco and alcohol? If so, does that make you pro-tobacco and pro-alcohol?

[JustSayNoToNannies]

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. Did you intend to communicate something, or do you simply get a giggle from posting animated graphics?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, please. And then as you do so, admit that alcohol is (and should be) highly regulated and controlled by the State.

Admit that since Prohibition ended there are more laws and more taxes on booze than ever before. Admit that is what you want for marijuana - more taxes, more laws.

Admit too that is the dirty secret behind you libertarians - you advocate for more taxes, more laws, bigger government.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Legalise drugs? That’s a horrible idea!!!! Don’t you realise how much would get cut from the DEA’s budget if we did that???
