Legalize drugs, and you'll have a drugged nation.

Like we don't now.

I for one would not do heroin if it were legalized. Would you?

If drugs were legal, people would not be getting shot up in the streets trying to sell them.

Personally, I say legalize it and tax it. Alcohol causes far more damage than all other drugs put together. Prohibition didn't work for alcohol, and it doesn't work for any other drug, either.

People who want to do drugs are going to do them whether they are legal or not.

Take the criminal element out of it, and the profit goes out of it for drug lords and the fifteen year old boys they use to sell it.

Not only that, but we would spend a whole lot less money on cops trying to stop it, which is futile, and putting non-violent offenders through the court system and into prison.

Your name suits you.

The minute you legalize cocaine, heroin & pot, you open the door to political scrambling for the biggest chunk of taxation. You think it's bad now?

We cannot legalize illicit drugs. If we do, we will only be taxed further and ours will become a socialist society.

Then, when we're under control, they take away the drugs, then the rights. Then guns.

What do you do then? You're addicted.

Well then. Legalize suicide, but tax the Hell out of the surviving family.

Legalize private ownership of an MI Abrams tank, and the use thereof on public streets & highways. Be sure to tax it ;)

Tax tax tax. Bah.
