Lets go back and look at your points.
Alcohol is more addictive than Marijuana. Who actually gives a damn about marijuana drugs that I refer to Cocaine, Heroin Crystal Meth , PCP, Ecstasy, Etc, Etc,these are the killers Marijuana is a recreational drug that may or may not be addictive, that at its best may have some medical value , at its worst causes cancer like cigarettes.
And here we are trying to make drugs legal and cigarettes illegal , the same argument you use in support of drugs Vs. alcohol.
Your argument that if we legalise drugs we lower the price, That would be fine , it would also increase the amount of people using them. Families now have a husband that comes home drunk once and a while maybe even gets abusive. You aint seen abusive till you have seen a person on PCP go off.Nothing like seeing dad get drunk at the kitchen table. How about watching Mom and Dad shoot up heroin at the table, Nice for the kids huh, ? and who caresfor these kids while they are floating.?
You say Needle park isa small area and indeed it is, why just have junkies in needle park . Lets have them spread all over the city.
I dont use alcohol but I know a lot of people who do and most of them control it just fine and drink socially, yes you may smoke a little pot socially, pot is the drug most often used in arguments about drugs.Personally if it was up to me pot would be legal , its just small potatoes, I have never seen heroin used socially except in crack houses , I have seen cocaine used socially by losers who use to get a piece of ass.Ecstasy the same. Although I hear the homo's use it mixed with Viagra and have what is for them some great orgies.
Yes legalising drugs would allow more police to work on other things , but you would offset that by needing more ambulances to deal with the overdoses and more social services agencies to deal with abandoned kids and broken homes. Legalising drugs would mean a lot more space in the jails, offset that by needing a lot more space in hospitals., and a lot less productivity on the job. Nothing like working with spaced out junkies.Especially spaced out police officer junkies. Yes if drugs were legal cops could use them too.
Bad argument. Alcohol is legal. Cops are not allowed to show up to work drunk. Drugs could be decriminalized, but not sanctified. For example, they wouldn't bust you for using drugs, but your employer could. You could snort all the coke you wanted, but to keep your job, your employer would still make you pee in a cup.
The effect of this would be lower crime. All the street gangs who finance themselves with drug sales would lose their major revenue source. The addicts who burglarize in order to finance their habits, would be in the same boat as cigarette addicts now, who can afford their drug without stealing my stereo.
Tax the product, and put the funds into treatment. Those who use finance their own treatment this way.
Pot, perhaps. But can you show me a person whose primary reason for not using heroin or crack is the cost? I know I wouldn't use either if I was paid to do so; would you?
and who caresfor these kids while they are floating.?
Who cares for them when mom and dad are drunk? It's a terrible situation, but we rightly see it as insufficient to justify banning alcohol.
You say Needle park isa small area and indeed it is, why just have junkies in needle park . Lets have them spread all over the city.
That's where they are now, and IMO it's better than concentrating such people in a small area.
Personally if it was up to me pot would be legal , its just small potatoes
I agree.
I have seen cocaine used socially by losers who use to get a piece of ass.Ecstasy the same.
Alcohol the same.

You seem to think that tens of millions of Americans are just itching to use hard drugs, with only the law standing in their way. I don't believe that for a second.
Nothing like working with spaced out junkies.Especially spaced out police officer junkies. Yes if drugs were legal cops could use them too.
But they can't come to work drunk, and couldn't stoned.
