“You dont think we have laws on the delivery of fast food?” Once again, apples and oranges! Trust me, I know all about regulations, I am a Regional Safety Manager - I know OSHA forwards and backwards - hell they regulate how you can take a dump at a work site!

But, we have not OUTLAWED fast food from existence for doing their obvious damage to our society! Which we have done to drugs. Completely ignoring their “personal” benefits. Again, before I get ripped for making that statement, understand that there are those that get their happiness from beer and those that get their happiness from church and those that get their happiness from drugs - we can agree that each have their good properties when used for their intended purposes - and bad properties when used to excess!

If you think I am for the unabashed selling of illicit drugs to kindergartners, then you have not been reading my posts.

So, you are okay with regulating items (drugs, fast food, alcohol, etc...) - well so too am I! We are in complete agreement on this subject!

But, your argument that there are legal ways to receive these illicit drugs is again a complete apples and oranges situation. I do not have to get a prescription for a fifth of whiskey. Nor do I drop off my want for MGD 64 at my local Kroger’s Pharmacy. So, why should I have to do so with a recreational drugs?

Doctors prescribe drugs to “treat” an ailment. I have been referencing personal, recreational drug use (like beer). So, do you also advocate a doctors writ to get a cheeseburger? They can be harmful!

So your argument is that since alcohol is legal and can be obtained without a prescription, the same should be for drugs.

What about guns and dynamite or other high explosives or biological weapons? Drugs are dangerous and not just to the person who uses them. Further, we have NOT outlawed drugs. People can and do get drugs. Here in Colorado, you can get marijuana, cocaine (or derivatives) there is a procedure to follow. Doctor, prescription, pharmacy.

You just dont want to be inconvenienced with the process.
