For someone seeking the truth, I'd think that you'd employ some in your posts. While some LPs may want drugs legalized to make their personal use of them easier, the majority of them want the unconstitutional war against our liberties stopped.
Let me ask you this, if in the course of my pursuit of happiness, I obtain a substance that I have paid for with money that I have earned, and I enjoy that substance in a manner that harms no one, why should I be subject to my door being kicked in by masked thugs with badges? Why should YOU be subjected to the same thing happening to you because some informant or lazy cop didn't bother to get the information right and the masked thugs kick in your door by mistake instead?
If I steal from you, I should be punished regardless of why I stole from you. If I steal from you to give to orphans or to supply myself with my favorite substance, it's still stealing, right? We punish the crime -- stealing -- not the motive.
If I imbibe in my favorite substance and then drive my car and run you over, are you any less dead than if I ran you over while tuning the radio or falling asleep or hurrying to my church meeting? Punish the crime -- the death of someone -- not cause. All of those factors may explain what happened, but none of it should excuse me from punishment, nor enhance it.
And if I imbibe, drive, and hurt no one, what crime have I committed? Who has been hurt? Why should I be punished?
"And if I imbibe, drive, and hurt no one, what crime have I committed?"
You have broken the law. The law is intended to deter folks, from operating a dangerous motor vehicle, while in an impaired state.
This example applies to alcohol, and drugs, as well it should.
Are you suggesting that drunk driving not become a "crime" until the driver injures somebody? That is the implication of your comments.
Further, do you personally know somebody that has been a meth user? Folks like that are dangerous. To others, to their children, etc.
