Re: Why the war on drugs will never be won
[ QUOTE ]
There's no end to amount of ways in which we can ruin our lives. But the government doesn't legislate all of these away. Take gambling, something you should be familiar with if you're at this site. Gambling can be addictive to some people and they can ruin their lives and hurt their loved ones while gambling. We know this is the case, so why aren't you advocating that gambling be illegal? Maybe the solution should be let people do what they want and try to educate them as best we can about the consequences of their actions. This way, we allow people to keep their freedoms AND help protect them from making life-ruining mistakes.

Anyone who argues that drugs should be illegal who frequents this particular board has got to be a gigantic hypocrite, since every argument they make can just as easily be applied to gambling. But since gambling is their particular vice, it must be different.
