You also know what you get with alcohol, but with various drugs there are no standards unless you get them from your doctor legally for a condition. So it's a lot more dangerous to do drugs illegally.

I do not believe illegal drugs are good for anyone, but I also believe the War on Drugs should end. Then, Rather than making all drugs legal, they should just be, "not illegal", no law on the books at all.

Why?

1) The government has no business telling a free individual what they may or may not consume - no matter how harmful it is to the individual. (I believe this about seat belts too..children must, Adults can make their OWN, Adult, decision!)

2) If a person on drugs commits a crime, any crime, the crime itself is punishable. When a drunkard or druggie gets in a car and kills someone on the road..the person is just as dead no matter what was consumed. Crimes committed while under the influence are still crimes..no matter the intoxicant. The intoxicant SHOULD NOT be the crime!

3) The war on drugs has created a whole new class of "criminal" , people that are not a real criminal element, are not a threat to society..just weak. Is that worth ten years in prison? I think not.

I believe the war on drugs, terror, gangs should continue.

I don't think we should give into thugs, addicts or terrorists because they don't fold immediately.

America isn't for all the anarchist, terrorists or gangland thugs, so I have no problem if they use up to deadly force and confiscate all their wealth in the process of teaching them the word "NO"!
