Yes, but using that logic alcohol should be illegal as well, and we know how that worked out. It's the crimes themselves that should be punished, not the drug use. If I attack somebody I can be charged with assault, and it shouldn't matter whether I'm high on bath salts or not.
Nope.............sorry............meth and bath salts are much more dangerous than alcohol.
However............on the legalization of plants issue? I DO believe that if legalized, the legal age to have or consume those substances should be 21.
Why? Because the brain isn't fully developed until you're around 18.
I've been to bars, and I've seen the violence and property destruction that can occur when people get drunk. If the argument is that meth and bath salts lead to violence and property destruction, and should therefore be illegal, then the same logic applies to alcohol regardless of whether it leads to more or less. The point is that it does lead to violence and property destruction. So it should be illegal.
Actually, I worked for over 4 years at a biker bar here in Amarillo called Boondocks. Yes, while there were people that got rowdy and such, but, in the time I was there, I only saw 2 fights total with alcohol. But then again, that's because we had a pretty decent staff who would stop big problems before they started.
However, seeing people on meth, and yeah, some did come to the bar on occasion, they'd be jumpy, anxious and looking to start stuff. Those people were shown the door pretty quickly.
Oh............there was even a little smoking area out back for those that partook of the herbal stuff. Know what? Pot smokers tip better and are much nicer than even those who are drinking.
