Why not relegalization? Criminalization hasn't solved the problem. Arguably it can't. Arguably, the criminalization of drug usage and drug distribution (certain types) has led to the erosion of privacy, the expansion of government at all levels, and the amount of money spent by all levels of government, requiring higher taxes. How is supporting the erosion of rights, the expansion of government, and higher taxes a valid conservative stance?

I am just not convinced that society as a whole would not be damaged even further by legalization.

It is likeliest that under relegalization, more people would harm themselves with drugs. But preventing self-harm cannot justify our imposing on others the harms of drug criminalization.

I tend to agree with that statement, but I have have little to prove it, one way or the other.

On the lighter side, perhaps we could give everyone interested a Oxycontin pill to chew.(about 40mg should do the trick)

We could have puke buckets and medical staff present for resuscitation. It would be a hoot watching all these people get "high"!

The dispenser guy could dress up as "Mr. Towlie".

Folks, taking Oxy to get high is just plain masochistic behavior. It reminds me of strychnine during the 60s and 70s. Just asinine behavior. It is a fad.
