Legalize all drugs

[ScienceRocks]

Legalize all drugs and release all the prisoners locked up because of them. Doing drugs is a personal choice and if one wants to do them ....Well, it is up to them to deal with the problems that come with doing them. It is their life and their right!

Locking people up for doing drugs creates even biggerproblems and the people locked up normally get far worse in their criminal behavior. Not good for our society. The war on drugs was a huge cluster fuck and it is time to end it.


Release all, remove the shit from their records and let them have personal freedom. This is what real liberterians would favor.

I am sure that you meant to say DECRIMINALIZE all "drugs" - drugs are already legal pursuant to the Constitution (1787) and the Ninth Amendment.

The problem is that scumbag theocratic "judges" interfere with the right.

All that sounds good but there are plenty of people in Congress that believe in the war on drugs. A clean bill that removes the records against drug arrests and convictions will never happen. Those incarcerated are not trained to enter the job market and most good jobs have drug testing that would disqualify these people. There would have to be included in he bill making it illegal to drug test. There is no way business owners would stand for that.

Most business owners have been coerced by the powers that be.

I guess.

Many congresscritters are from theocratic states where civil and ecclesiastical law have been intertwined.

The religious wouldn't have it any other way but they still lose, given time.

That is true but the idea that drugs are bad for operating a business has been institutionalized making it impossible to turn back the clock.

If there isn't funding to manage access to drugs and maintain a physicians involvement to prescribe the hard drugs this could get out of control right away. Overdoses would go through the roof. As long as the cost of drugs remains artificially high the addicts would start stealing personal property in impossible to stop numbers. The only way to prevent that would be to somehow make drugs VERY cheap and easy to get to keep the Cartels out of business.

Homelessness would expand to impossible numbers also as addicts spend all their money to get high. Free housing and food would have to be available to keep addicts safe and the communities they reside in safe.

Drug related crime began 6 month AFTER the Harrison Narcotic Act of 1914 started.

The civil war against "drug" users has been ongoing for 100 years and you can go to any elementary school in these US of A and buy "drugs".

A Heroin habit could be maintained with no adverse effect on the health of the user, provided a source of sterile, precisely measured doses were available to well-informed, carefully instructed and cooperatively regulated users at an actual material cost of six cents per dose.

The problem with existing heroin addiction is not the drug but what it is mixed with, the inaccurate dosages, and dealing with law enforcement.

That story was around when I was in grade school, yet never found any...

That's crazy statement.

After WW1, there were thousands of soldiers that came home hooked on morphine. As long as they could get morphine (often a fairly small dose), they could function in society with little trouble.

William Stewart Halstead was addicted to morphine for 35 years...all he did in that time was revolutionize medicine.

No thank you. I'm supporting enough lowlifes on government programs, we don't need to create another protected class.

When you make something legal, expect more people to use it. Do we really want more people in America using recreational drugs?

Not a good idea. Heroin OD's have been through the roof the last couple of years. In fact, my cousin lost her son to a lifelong struggle of Heroin just last year. He died at the age of 28.

Legalizing recreational narcotics would have the same effect as legalizing rape, pedophilia, theft and even murder. And please, nobody chiming in and saying that those crimes hurt other people and narcotics usage doesn't. It hurts a lot of people besides the user.
