You can compare alcohol to hard drugs if you want - it just ain't the same.... Drinking a glass of wine every day isn't going to make you an alcoholic. Shooting heroin every day will make you an addict.
Um ok so joe is hooked, wouldn't he be hooked when they were illegal also? How much does his fix cost now and where does he get the money for it? CRIME? What will it cost if legal and where will he get the money for it then? LESS CRIME!
I don't understand why this addict won't do the same amount of crime and buy more cheap drugs. Now that it's legal and cheap, he can shoot up twice a day instead of every other day.
I mean, when there's a sale at the grocery store, don't you stock up? If Pepsi's on sale, I buy more and drink more Pepsi. And I'm not an addict. Really.
