" alcohol produces more sever withdrawal syumptoms than heroin or cocaine and greater tolerance than cocaine"
Yes,this is likely true,but any idiot knows that people get addicted to crack cocaine and mainlining heroin way faster than alcohol.Addiction is nearly immediate in some cases.
"According to data from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Serices Administration, fewer than half of heroin users are addicted."
This means half of them are addicted.Keep your doors locked tonight because one might try and break in to support his habit.Heroin is a substance that has recently become "ok" for alot of teens to use.Your approach would foster this further.
"Anyway, who are you or the government to say that adults may not do "unsafe" things?"
Your solution to this problem is another form of goverment control-Drugs sanctioned by the goverment,and sold under their control.I would rather the goverment just ceased the WOD,and the barrel of a gun would provide drug enforcement.Simple-the first time I catch someone selling my daughter or my younger brother hard drugs,that person will cease to exist.This would be a far more effective method of drug and drug dealer eradication that the goverment's version of the WOD.This would be the true conservative approach,not your legal drugs/state licenced quasi-liberal ideal.

With all due respect, that's laughable Reefer Madness-style propaganda.

More freedom is better than less. Respect for freedom does not obligate one to make the best an enemy of the good.

Can I waste the first person who hands one of my children an anti-Catholic pamphlet? Can the parent of an overweight child waste the first person who hands the child candy?
