Why do you support the War on Drugs?

1) Drugs are illegal (as they should be).

2) Drugs kill.

Any questions?

Drugs are illegal (as they should be)

Circular reasoning.

Drugs kill

Alcohol and nicotine kill far more. Should they be illegal? Obesity is becoming the leading health problem. Should McDonalds be sued out of existence?

Aspirin is legal (as it should be).

2) Drugs kill.

Aspirin kills.

Any questions?

Drugs kill. Guns kill. Do you support repealing the 2nd Amendment?

The point of eliminating the "WOD" is not to encourage drug use. Stopping the "WOD" does not automatically mean legalization, actually. But you can stop making possession a mandatory prison-time serving criminal offense, and replace it with an exhorbitant fine, should you prefer. The "WOD" has given the government an excuse to trample on 4th Amendment rights, which I (as a NON-drug user) am concerned about. They can confiscate MY property on SUSPICION of drug crimes, with no requirement of prior conviction, and no compelling statute to return it upon my innocence being proven.

And just like Prohibition led to the rise of mob activity, WOD has led to gang activity (and, as a codicil, just like NYC's cigarette ban and huge tax hike has led to terrorist funding through cig smuggling). Many legal drugs are far more deadly and potent than ones currently illegal...

2) drugs kill

Hey dummy, (sorry I had to return the favor of calling me names) drugs don't kill.

Run out and buy a few kilos of coke. put them on your kitchen table. Id bet if you walked by it for the rest of your life, you wouldn't get killed.

However, if you stuck two straws up your nose and tooted 'till the cows come home, you'd be dead.

Guess what? YOU'VE JUST KILLED YOURSELF.

Simple concept, really....I'm always amazed people can't grasp something as rudementary as this.

We need to thin the herd....dumb-asses will always kill themselves. Please stop wasting my money trying to stop the inevitable.
