Rush Limbaugh was addicted to a prescription medicine that is otherwise "controlled".

It's not like he went looking for that particular problem.

However, in the absence of some kind of government control on this stuff, we'd all have to provide our own protection against druggies.

At the moment, because of government control, you are protected from private individuals having to protect themselves.

You aren't making any sense.

However, in the absence of some kind of government control on this stuff, we'd all have to provide our own protection against druggies.

The gov't control, aka the WOD, has inflated prices and provided huge profit incentives to dealers. Turf wars are because of the high profits and hence the high consequences for fouling up.

Decriminalize marijuana and you'll reduce the profits and reduce the incentives for crooks and other criminals.

"Druggies" won't have to steal or mug (not that those are the major problems associated with drug addiction) if prices are low. In fact, if drug use was not criminal, more abusers would be able to get treatment. After all, if Brett and Rush and Betty's addictions to controlled substances should be treated as medical problems, why not treat the less elite the similarly?

Sadly you make it seem like your house is under siege by wild eyed, crazed "druggies" and I'm pretty sure that isn't the case.
