Obviously you just want drugs at any cost and you are paying us lip service here at FR pretending to be reasonable.
You say that the drug issue doesn't violate another's rights. That is among the biggest lies ever posted on FR.

#1 The cost to the public in health care as they spread AIDS, die from cancers and other diseases related to using is high.
The costs goes from thousands to perhaps millions for the one with AIDS. This affects what you call "OTHERS".
So much for that total BS you posted.

#2 Liability to employ even "unknown" illegal drug users. They cause liability enough to in some cases close businesses down and create a loss of jobs for others clean of drugs.
Employers are open to all kinds of lawsuits if they have an illegal drug user working for them. Even if they were not known to be there, if they hurt themselves or others the liability to the employer is sky high. Again affecting "OTHERS" proving what you say is total bunk.

You said nothing that is true to me in your post and the lack of ethics you suggests regarding drugs is down right scary!
I think you are practicing the politics of addiction and could care less about the actual facts. That is my opinion based on what you posted to me. If you were honest, you could not deny the cost ever again in another pro-use thread.

Your sleazy personal attack has been reported to the admin.

Needle drug use causes one to GET AIDS not to transmit it. And society was not forced but has democratically CHOSEN to bear the costs of AIDS (a stupid choice, in my opinion).

And note that needle-sharing is a RESULT of the illegality of drugs and needles; that cost is CAUSED by the War On Some Drugs.

#2 Liability to employ even "unknown" illegal drug users. They cause liability enough to in some cases close businesses down and create a loss of jobs for others clean of drugs. Employers are open to all kinds of lawsuits if they have an illegal drug user working for them.

If that's true (and you provide no evidence), that's a violation of rights by our civil law, not by the users.

None of my rights have ever been violated by another's use of drugs. Illegal or legal.

We ARE talking about marijuana, aren't we?

You are scary.
