Oh, like you can already do with alcohol? There are a lot of ruined lives due to alcohol abuse and every single point you make can be also be attributed to it. The fact is in any society there will always be hardworking, industrous types and there will always be worthless shitheads. Legalizing drugs will not change that.Originally posted by blownragtop View PostThe day the denizens of Wal-Mart can conveniently pick up a bag of weed and/or blow to go with their cart load of soda and chips is the day America tips over the edge.

Strain? What strain? Protection? From what? Making it legal to do drugs does not make it legal to commit any crimes. It will still be illegal to drive impaired, carry a gun impaired, etc. If you get drunk and rowdy and hurt someone, you don't get any special protection because the alcohol made you do it. How would it be any different with drugs? If you get high on PCP and eat a kid's face off, you will fry. That isn't going to change! And guess what - that guy that gets high and eats a kid's face off is going to do it whether it's legal or not.Originally posted by 32vfromhell View PostNow we are talking about a separate issue : what is the main goal of incarceration : punishment or rehabilitation, a conflict that has been ongoing in the US since the 1800's. I would agree with you that we need to be more progressive in prevention, education, and rehabilitation, rather than just terrible scare tactics that just don't work.
I still find the legal precedent and protection drug abusers would get if all drugs would be decriminalized would put a terrible strain on society. You would not be able to avoid Not to mention the slippery slope of such a thing.

The "grass will be greener..."Originally posted by grove rat View Postcan't remember if i saw it on here or maybe a bumper sticker, but the phrase "i can't wait till the older generation is gone so weed will be legal" is so true it's unreal

That's like blaming your drug dealer because you have an addiction problem.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostUntil we can get a hand on the equation? Your reasoning is laughable - do we have 49 people headless on the side of the highway? Headless bodies hanging from bridges? Entire cities which have no police? Do we have the highest murder rate in the world? It would seem we have a hand on our side of it. The better question is why do you seem to place no blame at all on the Mexican side of the problem? You haven't once mentioned dealing with the supply? You keep saying we fund the problem, who the hell supplies the product? Why is this blame the US?
Lol.

Originally posted by jluv View PostRyan, as wild as the idea of legalizing all drugs sounds, it won't increase drug use. People who will use hard drugs will use hard drugs whether it is legal or not.
It's been proven that a widespread decriminalization of drugs and the redirection of money and resources towards treatment and education programs is a model that actually decreases overall drug use, teen drug use, violence, crime, HIV cases, etc. The current drug laws we have in place just fail. Time for something new!
