Remember when they said legalizing marijuana wouldn't be a slippery slope to other drugs?

Did I say that? Big pharma and cartels are very different issues. Stick to the point at hand. If you want to legalize, what are you going to do with the cartels? Legitimize them? You folks never have answers just a give me, give, selfish attitude. Why would anyone with a brain support legalization if you very supporters can't even come up with solutions to the problems they would be creating?

Drugs are legal in quite a few countries....did that legalize cartels??

Did Portugal legalizing weed; legalize cartels??

Did the Netherlands legalizing drugs; legalize cartels??

Legalizing drugs is geared towards decriminalizing the use of drugs, not the supply of drugs.....

I know you probably jerk off to the idea of people being sentenced to 40 years for 2 ounces of crack...but I am not....

So again...when you make moronic arguments to me....don't

Drugs are decriminalized in many places, that is very different than legal. You could buy weed in Amsterdam legally in bars and such, but you they didn't sell coke, heroin, or meth. Legalized weed in America did not monopolize it, there is still a booming illegal weed trade. So where are you going to get the raw materials for legally sold cocaine or heroin? You folks have no clue what you are talking about nor the consequences of such actions.

I don't give a damn if someone goes to prison for life for 2oz of crack or dies from it. Stupid solves itself sometimes.

If you don't even understand the basics, you should probably just shut up.

You’re cherry picking. Any transition is going to be bumpy, doesn’t mean the things I laid out aren’t true

Legalizing drugs would actually create exponentially less criminals given the fact that so many crimes are committed in the drug trade. If it wasn’t illegal then those “crimes” would be no more. Jails would clear, gangs would lose a significant source of their funding, the sale of drugs would be taxed and a profit center. All of a sudden the billions we spend on criminal enforcement disappears and turns into a profit center. That money can then be used for education and rehabilitation. Think it through

You either aren't thinking this whole thing through, or you can't think. It looks more like you're just using the same propaganda that being used by druggies in order to make your case.

Again, druggies lose their jobs, their homes and start committing crime on people to get their drugs. Legalizing drugs isn't going to change that.
They stopped prosecuting small levels of heroin in places like Portland, Seattle and San Fran. Now look at those cities. They're turning into shitholes because of all the druggies that have taken over much of their down town areas. Homeless druggies that would eat your face off to get more.

There are many factors that enable homeless in those cities… it’s not simply legalization. I’m not one that wants to see more druggies in this country. I think the best way to fight addiction is to control, educate and provide resources. Legalization can help provide those things. Criminalizing just funds the black market. Scare tactics aren’t as effective as they used to be. We can do better

What is deliberate is the fact that the War on Drugs was meant to target a specific demographic....but I expect folks like you to play dumb about it...

Nixon Adviser Admits War on Drugs Was Designed to Criminalize Black People

eji.org

What is true is...the only reason a drug like marijuana was criminalized in the first place; was to target a specific demographic...the fact they opted to refer to it as "marijuana" more was by design....


"In the early 1900s, an influx of Mexican immigrants came to the US fleeing political unrest in their home country. With them, they brought the practice of smoking cannabis recreationally. And it took off. The Spanish word for the plant started to be used more often too. Marijuana. Or as it was spelled at that time, marihuana, with an "H. This is when the more sensational headlines about the drug began to appear."

How racism contributed to marijuana prohibition in the US

As the marijuana legalization debate continues, it's important to examine the connections between media portrayal, public perception, and fluctuating laws.

Funny how the same folks who pull conspiracy theories out of their ass about the government and their plot to use vaccines to kill people; and believe it -- but want to act totally oblivious to ACTUAL EVIL SHIT this government engaged in..that we have PROOF of....which only reinforces my point that as long as you think it is happening to the people you hate; you would rationalize government doing any and everything to them....

I must reluctantly agree.

Joe Biden is also to blame.

Stop dodging. I'm not talking about all the other factors. I'm talking about the ones created by the druggies themselves. The road that they themselves decided, under their own free will, to go down.

Druggies don't give a **** about outreach programs, rehab or laws. They care about getting their next high. And they don't give a damn about who they have to steal from or kill to get it. They don't give a damn about yours, mine or anyone elses rights, freedoms or liberties. They care about getting their drugs.

This justice system hasn't even really fought this war on drugs because they seem to be broke woke. "Oh let's go easy on them. They have mental issues." BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Throw these POS on some island somewhere and forget'm. Don't try to rehab them. Don't put them in prison for a year. Don't feel sorry for them. Eliminate them before they rape, murder or steal from decent people. FFS, we're talking about babysitting people who adversely affect the lives of innocent decent people. Who create victims regularly.

The legalized drug in Portugal. The violent crime rates and thefts skyrocketed. Why? Because they legalized all drugs. Our crime rates are skyrocketing now, even with laws against drugs are in existence.

Our justice system needs to fight this war like it is a war. And stop tinkering with it. F these druggies.

 

[Dr Grump]

Stop right there. Every time you fools talk about legalizing drugs you clamor on about medical applications, but what you're really after is getting high.

There are plenty of things with medical applications that are not otherwise legal. Opiates have medical applications. They are otherwise illegal. Nobody had to legalize heroin for opiates to be made into legitimate theraputics. But now you liberals scream and wail about how opiates are bad and turn people into addicts.

What's wrong with getting high? Long as it doesn't affect your ability to do other stuff. I read a health report (to be fair it was more than 30 years ago) about how two drug products were responsible for 94 per cent of all deaths - alcohol and tobacco. Ironically, the two legal drugs. Opiates are bad. You have this 'one size fits all' mentality. Certain drugs - marijuana/mushies being but two - are okay IMO. Coke, speed/meth/ice, heroin - not so much.

I love Conservative hypocrites - "stay out of our lives!! Unless it involves a woman's body or drugs"...
