"Zinging" may be a fun way for you to get your rocks off but it doesn't demonstrate intelligence. If you ever bothered to examine the FACTS around the War on Drug-users, you'd see that it simply does not and cannot work and tragically ruins millions of lives.
Only a few "off-the-scale-libertarians" want to see a completely free and unfettered drug market. Most of us want to see the same sensible regulation of those drugs now considered "illicit" as we have for alcohol and prescription drugs.
Personally, I haven't used a street drug for thirty years and have no desire to ever do so again. I've been both an addict and a counsellor of addicts, so I've seen all sides of the issue, including the deaths of friends. Drug use IS a problem! BUT, we need a sensible system that actually works WITH human nature, not AGAINST it. We must elicit respect for the law and societal mores while de-glamorizing drug use by removing it from the fringes. Doing so can solve the problem without creating even larger ones.

We already have "sensible" regulation.
Unlike alcohol and prescription drugs, there are no legitimate uses for those substances that are banned.
Their abuse is merely for the purpose of self-destructive behavior.

<> In YOUR opinion. Many prescription drugs are abused and are dangerous, even as prescribed. More than a few people feel that alcohol and tobacco are far more dangerous than pot - even many in the medical, legal and mental health professions. So. Whe gets to play G-d and why??

Playing God???

By banning harmful drugs???

Man, you really are burned out, aren't you?

Quit pinging me to this old thread.
I've better things to do than "debate" an addict who's desperate to legalize access to that brain-damaging crap.
