You’re right, surely nothing but good things will come to the country and the people that embrace drug addiction.
They call that one the strawman argument.
And I believe that nothing but bad things have come from the War on Some Drugs. I would rather see a million drug addicts dying from overdose than suffer the continuing erosion of the Bill of Rights.
I don't approve of drug abuse. I don't encourage drug abuse. I don't embrace drug abuse.
I would trade the lives of the million drug abusers I mentioned if it would bring back a single person murdered by our government in a mistaken drug raid.
I can't understand how people can claim that decriminalization of drugs will lead to more corruption and greater reward for the drug cartels. It simply didn't happen with alcohol, it's not going to happen with marijuana, and it wouldn't happen with any other drug.
