You may have a point. I don’t think I agree. I was stationed in the Netherlands and saw the damage caused by a tolerant society of drugs. Parks over run with drug user, bus station unsafe, having to walk my kids to the bus stop to make sure they avoided syringes. Now I live in WA. Another society that is tolerant of drugs, and I can tell you all is not roses.
So that is a discussion we can have. But my comment was about another poster saying guns and drugs are the same argument and they are not.
Reread my post...you’re asking me to defend positions I did not take but rather what you assume I must believe
I was quite clear in denouncing meth abuse
I oppose the heavy handedness and overreach of the drug war....bigtime....especially asset seizures minus proof and draconian min mans
I am in favor of marijuana medical cards not recreational open market but that’s it....everything else illegal in some fashion unless medically indicated
I think alcohol is a fooking scourge that wreaks havoc yet it’s loved and exalted
That’s pretty concise....not much more to extrapolate from that
I too have lived all over the world and have business in Colorado where I travel a lot so I get it....I’ve written here about it....the scuzzy hipster pot Mecca quotient in Denver....
Washington state doesn’t have the pot draw Colorado does and it’s heavier regulated than Colorado
But make to my point do you get as worked up about the nearly 3000 alcohol related deaths in Washington state in 2013?
Compared to how many pot overdoses?
Should we ban alcohol....wouldn’t bother me in principle
Lets seize all of Olympia Beers assets while we’re at it.....I mean why not....it’s a danger...a proven one
