They’re trying to appeal to the important druggie voting demographic, which is of significant size in NYC and Albany.
It’s about time to let drug users use their drugs. They will not stop no matter what the cost or penalty. They don’t care about legal or illegal. There are too many of them to enforce the laws properly. I argue that they should abolish all drug laws. It would take the profit incentive out for the criminals who supply the drugs. It would lower the price so that users would not have to steal to be able to afford them. There would be a decrease in the population especially of people who don’t contribute to the tax base. Call me insensitive.
Those tents by the freeway are populated by drug users who choose their drugs over the responsibility of rent and utilities. People say tent dwellers are mentally ill and can’t cope. That is bullshit. They are drug addicts who have adapted to the necessity of living in tents because drugs are very expensive.
People say if we legalize drugs there will be crazy drug users all over the place. Look around! There are already crazy drug users all over the place.
