Default Re: Why the war on drugs will never be won

Riddick, it's not about the drugs, it's about freedom. That's the whole point. Yes, there's a little danger, but I'd rather live in a society where bob the neighbor is allowed to buy a gram of ice at the store than a society where violent criminals market the same stuff.

Also, I don't see why people think that just because a drug becomes legal, everyone's going to do it. I don't think legalizing heroin will make people who wouldn't otherwise do it say "hey, let's go shoot up!" There are a lot of drugs out there that are legal that people don't do because they realize that, despite their legality, they're still drugs, they're still potent substances, and maybe they're not for them.
