If it were to be legalized there would be a tax put on it.

Probably.

The price would rise a whole lot. It would still be sold on the street.

Depends; alcohol taxes haven't resulted in a black market in alcohol.

No matter what you say, I will always believe that you are wrong.

I understand: your mind's made up, so don't confuse you with the facts.

Glad you caught that - I was going to have to call you on it - spent all weekend on the beach with only internet access through my cell phone (115 KBPS) - now I'm back at top speed! Lookout FReeperville! Life is good!
Any one need any exclamation points? I've got lots! ;-)

I was not going to write to you again. I didn't think it was worth the trouble. I have noticed that you pick and choose which questions you will answer. You ignore questions that might be hard for you. I may do the same thing , I hope not. I will try again.

Will it be legal for children to buy drugs? Do you honestly think that they will be unable to get them?. Will there be laws preventing the sale of drugs to children? If so, won't the police get involved? Do I have a Constitutional right to sell poison to minors? Do you think children have the right to buy drugs? Will the drugs that are sold to the children be cheap? Do you think the dealers will jack up the price because of the danger they will be facing?. Do you think the dope will be heavily taxed if it is made legal? Do you think that dealers will take advantage of the higher prices of legal drugs if there is a large sin tax put on them? Have you ever heard of bootleg cigarettes? Will ID,s be checked at these cut rate dope dispensers? Do you think that will prevent children from getting them? Have you noticed how well that is working with cigarettes?

Do we create new areas of our towns so the legal addicts will have a nice place to meet?. That has been tried in Europe. Do you think that was a good idea. Do you think it worked? Do we erect a wall to hide them from view or do you think we should ignore them? Should young people be allowed to enter if they want to? Should flop houses be constructed so the addicts will have a safe place to crash? Should these dope dispensaries have a Drive-Thru. Should dope be sold at Sonic. Think how convenient it would be for an addict to get his fix from a place like McDonalds. Do you want catsup with your order of coke? Will it to legal to buy it at a drive thru if children are in the car?

You asked who said they liked dope? I would hope that dope dealers do not like it. It would be hard for them to have a successful business if they use all their profits wouldn't it? We wouldn't want that would we?

Note to self, If something looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, smells like a duck,and poops like a duck its a duck.

No.

Do you honestly think that they will be unable to get them?

They're not unable to get them now ... in fact, there's scarcely any room for things to get worse.

Have you ever heard of bootleg cigarettes?

Only in high-cig-tax areas; I've never heard of modern-day bootleg booze.

Yes. Yes. No. No. No. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Sometimes. Yes. No. No. No. Not applicable. No. No. No. No. No.

Your correct, also notice how the Libertarian nutjobs don't address the problem of product liability. I have read numerous accounts of some crack head tossing his girlfrinds baby out the window, do the Libertarian dolts not expect lawsuits? have they no knowledge of the Tobacco lawsuits and settlements?....remember that Libertarian motto..."give me Librium, or give me Meth"

Have brewers or distillers ever been successfully sued for violence committed by drunks?

have they no knowledge of the Tobacco lawsuits and settlements?

I know tobacco firms lied for decades about the health hazards of that product.

Alcohol if taken in small to moderate amounts will have little or no effect upon ones behavior, however crack, LSD, meth, and the like will. All drug use save marijuana is abuse, not so with alcohol....nice try though.

Irrelevant to the violent behavior of many drunks.

Thats why it's called "abuse", you know like when someone abuses the traffic regulations and plows into a tree at 90 mph, still want to sue the car manufacturer, since they actually built the car to go 115 mph?

Yes, and since we know of no successful suits against brewers or distillers for violence committed by drunks, we have no reason to suppose that makers of other legal recreational drugs could be successfully sued for the harmful acts of their users.
