YEAH, if they eliminate the war on drugs, they can write about positive things, like druggies who leave babies in trash cans, or kill their kids, or the increase in the drug addicted homeless, or about overdose deaths and the 40 percent of car accidents caused by drug addled people, or about how the factories are being moved out of cities because they aren't allowed to fire employees who do shittie work due to drugs.

Oops, sorry,I must have misunderstood, at first glance I thought you meant this is what could happen. Silly me. Good thing that's not happening now.

Glad to know LEO and pill pusher Doc's have it all under control.

If drugs are decriminalized, leaving babies to die in trash cans will still be illegal.

If drugs are decriminalized, killing kids will still be illegal.

If drugs are decriminalized, homelessness ( which is "liberal-speak" for joblessness ) will still be the responsibility of the "homeless".

If drugs are decriminalized, those who overdose on drugs will still have themselves to blame and nobody else.

If drugs are decriminalized, drug-addled drivers who cause accidents will face jail time for criminal behavior.

If drugs are decriminalized, employers will continue to have the responsibility to fire employees who fail to perform on the job.

"You can see how confusing the War on Drugs is. The object of the war is to stop the flow of drugs, but the drug warrior told me that the soldiers can conduct the war much better if the enemy continues selling drugs."

Good to see its working as intended now! Ms. Doc, do you derive any of your income from forced 'treatment'?

Yeah, and the WOD is stopping such activities now. I'm old enough to remember pre-WOD days and we didn't have .10% of the social ills we are experiencing today. Cause and effect.

Wait a minute!

How is that different from the status quo?

[Protagoras]

Yeah you're right, we don't have any of those problems now because of the successful war on some drugs. < /sarcasm>

Please cite a source for the "40 percent of car accidents are caused by drug addled people".

The rest of your post is typical emotionalism masquerading as facts (something at which liberals excel). How do you know what will happen if they eliminate the WOD? You may strongly BELIEVE that it will get worse but you don't really know. It will be fascinating to watch what is happening in Canada now that they have relaxed the WOD. If things don't get dramatically worse, will you be willing to admit that you were wrong? If they do get dramatically worse, I will be willing to admit that I was wrong.

My prediction is that even without the WOD in Canada (at least for marijuana, that is) there won't be a significant change in any of the statistics. People who want to use this stuff will do so whether it is legal or not, just like people who destroy their own lives with all sorts of other legal or illegal pursuits will do so as well.

BTW, before you even make any assumptions, I don't use drugs, I never have, I have no desire to, and people that do are losers and idiots IMHO.

So what you're saying is nothing would change....Oh well unemployment would probably sky rocket as all of the dealers and a lot of the warriors would end up at the same state hand out window.
