And a hell of a lot of wishful thinking and Fantasy. You are using the same sort of logic that all the Liberal utopians use to explain how their communism will work out great for everyone.
But just like with communism, we have REAL WORLD EXAMPLES of what happens when your ideas are tried in practice. This is what happened when you idea was tried in Switzerland.
The strange scene has been a fixture in Zurich for several years, tolerated by city officials who are convinced that drug use should be regarded as a sickness rather than a crime. Social and medical workers estimate that about 300 to 400 heavy drug users live in the park without shelter, toilets or showers, and that as many as 3,000 others pass through daily to buy and use drugs ..the midway of the grotesque carnival is a concrete path along the edge of the Limmat River, lined with makeshift counters covered with neatly arranged spoons, bottles of water and paper cups bristling with slender, disposable syringes. The crowd thickens as night falls and drug hustlers work their way through the sea of bodies clogging the path, calling out ''Sugar, sugar, fine sugar!'' when they mean heroin, and ''Cokay, cokay!'' for cocaine ..the other night, three men crouched under a park lamppost, dividing a white powdery pancake of heroin with a Swiss Army knife. Next to them, a woman lay in the dirt in a stupor. Four or five men were intensely working needles into their arms. A woman in a striped sweater probed for veins in one hand, blood streaming down her fingers, as a woman in leather pants and stained blouse wobbled past, a bloody syringe dangling from her neck.
It was an utter disaster. Switzerland called it off.
We don’t live in Switzerland. Nor does Switzerland have our Constitution.
Now if you want to pass an Amendment to the Constitution to regulate these substances then by all means have at it. You know, like we did with alcohol a few decades back.
Prohibition went so swimmingly well we still have it. Oh wait, we don’t.
Why is that?
Got your move to Singapore booked yet? I’d think you’d be frightfully busy making all your travel and living arrangements by now.
