Liberalism is a Drug.
Good article.
What a bunch of utter nonsense.
This sounds like 1932 and those opposed to Prohibition being repealed.
Not worth the time to go point by point on why the author’s article is idiotic.
I can see a copout but what I can't see is why you copout.
You can avoid reality but you can't avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
fine by me
drugs help increase the distance between the winners and losers
my only problem is being FORCED to pay for them. screw that
Once he declared “Just say no” a success we knew this article was a pack of lies and BS.
“Just look to Washington State, where within the first 6 months of pot being legalized, 745 drivers stopped by the police tested positive for marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient THC and over half of those tested were over the state’s legal limit of 5 nanograms.”
How many tested positive in the 6 months prior to legelization?
Go home, America. You’re high.
This new milieu of "legal-makes-moral" is the hallmark of a degenerate society. We once had relatively few laws because a moral underpinning, a societal fabric of morality, created and upheld effective taboos that were every bit, if not more so, effective as laws.
Now, that underpinning of a moral standard has been, after many decades of attacks by the destructive Left, virtually destroyed. In fact, the taboos which once made society liveable are now CRIMINALIZED as "hate speech," discrimination, and "theocracy" in the name of the fictional "separation of church and state."
Seems to me gun-grabbers and nanny-staters use this line of debate.
The war on drugs is a failure.
“We are witnessing the steady decline and intentional corrosion of America’s social structure”
-Drugs play a minor role in that. Users are going to use, they’re going to get it one way or the other. The more taboo you make it, the more appealing it becomes.
You could NEVER get a job in the MSM, lol.
I just don’t get why some on FR think that we should spend billions of dollars to combat pot use, when it obviously isn’t working when you are essentially trying to combat the smoking of a plant that can be grown almost anywhere.
And 100 years ago, it wasn’t even illegal! Spend the resources on hard stuff like crack, meth, ecstasy, LSD, and stuff that requires actual chemical manufacturing and not just a flower pot, dirt, and sun.
Fact: Russia is a nation of alcoholics, and China has a huge narcotics problem, with rehabs jammed full.
All Righty Then. The points the author makes against legalization are idiotic.
Suppose YOU take the time to make just one point on why legalizing drugs is a GOOD idea.
Collect all the taxes you want. The money will be used to hire Democrats and buy Democrat votes.
