You obviosly haven't felt the devastating effects of having a loved one who's life was ruined because of drugs. Do you have children? I think we should boycott all drug producing countries.

Oh yes I have. Criminalizing an addiction does not solve the problem. Spending Billions to stop the flow of drugs obviously doesn't work. It is peer pressure, pushers, and dependent personalities. Think of all the violent and property crime caused by people who are addicted.

Lets put our effort and money in helping those people, not persecuting them. If the drugs were licensed, then thousands of OD's would be prevented.

By making drugs illegal you start a large portion of our citizens ignoring the law.

This is a complex issue as many become addicted in grade school. If drugs we legal we would have a much more successful program of keeping it away from the very young.

Besides there are those who seem to function to some level even though addicted or maybe recreational users. Hollywood comes to mind.

Make this a health issue not a criminal one!
