“Since both accomplish the same thing,”
And that’s my point. Putting more impaired drivers on the road doesn’t make it safer or kill less people. If you can come up with a way to stop the blood I will back you 104%. But I need to hear it and someone has got to sell it to a group of morons that are already knowingly causing the death of people for their recreation.
And I guess you didn’t read about Oregon. And these fools in other states will see this and they will stretch it just as they did with the legalization in Oregon. And thanks to these recreation people, we now have hard drugs on the streets, legal. And it will not stop the sales coming from the cartels as they will be losing their gold mine and they will fight back. Dominos.
More of it is coming. Kevin Sabet, the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and a three-time White House Office of National Drug Control Policy adviser said, “The threat of criminal prosecution can be a powerful incentive for people to seek treatment, he said. Likewise, legalization can empower people to abuse drugs without fearing legal jeopardy.
“The threat of criminal prosecution can be a powerful incentive for people to seek treatment, he said. Likewise, legalization can empower people to abuse drugs without fearing legal jeopardy.”
“For a lot of people, they stop drinking once they got a DUI, and they realized what they were doing was wrong,” Sabet said. “I think a lot of people have gotten help through drug courts. For a lot of people, consequences are important. And I think we can find a way to marry the criminal justice and public health systems.”
And I hope when that happens a lot of people won’t be dead.....for someone’s choice of a recreation.

“”Since both accomplish the same thing, shouldn’t both have the same legal status - both legal or both illegal?””
“Putting more impaired drivers on the road doesn’t make it safer or kill less people.”
Which brings us back to the question you omitted from your reply: Should alcohol likewise be banned since its legality puts impaired drivers on the road?
“And I guess you didn’t read about Oregon.”
I did - I guess you didn’t read my reply.
“Kevin Sabet, the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana”
Using tobacco Nazis as an authority now, I see.
“legalization can empower people to abuse drugs without fearing legal jeopardy.”
Why should they fear legal jeopardy? Should chronic unhealthy eaters fear legal jeopardy?
