people just need to realise narcotics are a dead end trap,and they are the road to nowhere.Agree?

I use no drugs---including the deadly addictive legal drugs alcohol and tobacco. That's my choice for my body; other adults should be free to make their choices for their bodies.

Maybe the solution is just every person for themselves,dog eat dog,total personal responsibility,and if you do drugs and ruin your life,that's your own fault.

Helping such people is not government's business, but charity's.

If someone breaks into a home and gets shot,that's their own fault too.

Yep.

this would end up being really hard on alot parents out there,and causing alot of suffering.

Not government's business.

But I am interested in hearing your idea of how a system of legalized drugs could actually be implemented.

Repeal existing anti-drug laws.

Most charitys are goverment funded,so what's the difference.There is not a drug treatment facility in my area that is not funded by the federal goverment.And as it is,they cannot keep up with the flow of junkies needing treatment.

"If someone breaks into a home and gets shot,that's their own fault too.

Yep."

I agree,but I can't help but have sympathy for the parents of a young person who might end up dead as a result of the perils of narcotics.

"this would end up being really hard on alot parents out there,and causing alot of suffering.

"Not government's business."

Legal narcotics would end up causing alot of suffering for millions of americans,if this ends up coming to fruition,we will just have to accept that,and it will be every man for himself,every family for themselves.

"But I am interested in hearing your idea of how a system of legalized drugs could actually be implemented.

And what system of dispersal would take it's place? I'm guessing all out anarchy.Really,what do you think would happen if existing laws were suddenly repealed?
