So basically, you're allowed to to drugs but if you infringe on peoples property or their life, you suffer the consequences?

 

I 100% support this. It makes sense. Legalize it and if the people on the drug doesn't bother anyone, its all good. But if they commit a violent act of aggression on someone or their property, they're gone.

Problem is those laws aren't being fully prosecuted now. Most drug addiction driven thefts only get a few days in jail and they are right back stealing. Until the crimes of drug users are fully addressed the drug problem will not get any better legal or not.

Alcohol is more of a problem than drugs when it comes to violent offenders -- check the link I posted a few pages back.

 

Those who were on drugs are marginally worse than those with alcohol in their system when it comes to property offenders.

 

Until the crimes of alcoholics are fully addressed, the alcohol problem our nation is will.......oh, well, do we have an alcohol problem? Or is it just socially acceptable to drink, so we just tend to ignore those facts? We've been taught that those who drink alcohol aren't as bad and possibly morally superior than those who do drugs.

 

But if the potential of what might come from drug abuse is to be looked at, lets look at the potential effects of allowing alcohol in society:

Alcohol and even cigarettes almost always precede prescription drug abuse -- which kills more people than cocaine and heroine combined, as the article details.

 

Should we ban alcohol? "No." Okay, what is your reasoning? It's already proven to be one of the most harmful substances we use.
