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.

Furthermore, we could up the penalties for those who commit drug-induced crimes. Stiff fines and punishment are a powerful deterrent.

And besides, do anti-legalization folks really think Americans are that stupid that they would just try dangerous, hallucogenic drugs just because they were legalized? How many people have resisted using PCP just because it wasn't legal? You can get high of ammonia fumes without fear of being caught--how many people here have done that? I haven't, because I value my brain cells. Legalizing drugs won't eliminate the personal consequences that come with taking them. The people who are going to go on a PCP spree if PCP is legalized are the same people who would've done it ANYWAY.

Yeah yeah, but the problem is that YOUR side says laws don't stop anything. If the drug rates aren't going to change, then this shouldn't be an issue.

You can't have it both ways.. Saying how wonderful the world will be with easy to get heroin or whatever and then denying that any damage will occur because the laws will save us.

What a joke.

why in the world do you have to give reason a chance on these pages...
most of those things being addressed are just another form of bigotry...
anybody that wishes to control another being has a problem... that is not the way things were intended...
(LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of happiness)...
LE only likes the "pursuit" part, and the rest of the WOD is just about money!
You were not given the right to control the behaviour of consenting adults. Just ask the Supremes!
God is the final arbiter, so those of you wishing to constrain others, get over it.
