How is throwing users in jail, which the drug laws do every day, "supporting them?" If you support legalization, of course, I fully endorse your comments.

I have always differentiated between drug users who are committing crimes against others to support their habit. We pay taxes to keep ourselves safe from that kind of anti-social dangerous behavior.

Drug use hurts everyone involved, always. I'm not excusing it and don't condone it.

But there are nuanced differences between every crime and every situation.

Some want blanket changes that cover every instance. I don't agree and think that is naive and dangerous.

There have been articles posted on this forum about how Norway etc., is considering changing their drug laws because it has led to rampant crime and extremely high costs to pay for the abusers. Costs paid for by those not committing the crimes. Which is always the case.

The responsible take care of the irresponsible.

I understand you have a different opinion. We will have to agree to disagree. I see naunces in the world and don't believe things are as black and white as some would paint them.
