Exactly. They kill each other for the opportunity to sell drugs. Think about all the shootings in Chicago and Baltimore - nearly all of it due to the war on drugs. Now think of the tens of thousands killed in Mexico because they are fighting to supply the US drug pushers. The whole thing is a bad idea. We learned this lesson during Prohibition. Why are we repeating it again?
I am not sure “legalization” is the answer. What, all the pot shops will now start selling heroin and cocaine? Not sure I like that idea. But at least decriminalization. We can enforce laws against dealing to children, and/or adulterating the drugs, and driving under influence etc. But otherwise what two consenting adults do in privacy is their business not mine.
“what two consenting adults do in privacy” so, dopers and meth heads heroin addicts and coke snorters hang tight at home until they are safe to move among us on the highways, on machinery etc? What reality (altered) do you operate in?
