There isn't actually anything -wrong- with getting high. People do it legally every day. Runners get a runner's high when the acid level in their muscles grows to a certain level after a lot of activity. They become euphoric.
Yes, but a runner can't OD on it, can he? Nor can it impair him in making critical decisions, which is what some drugs do do. The crime, the drug dealers, the cartels, the laced product, the poor product, the mystique, and the 'gateway drugs' will all go away if drug use is legal and treated responsibly...
She was doing Illegal pot. That was eventaully laced with Illegal speed or heroin...
So, now you just decided what should or shouldn't be legal drugs? "It's OK to have THESE drugs, but not THOSE." Uh, isn't that what we have already? I'm against laws that ban smoking in public places...
I'm against smokers that feel I need to inhale their smoke. The rich want drugs to be illegal cause it drives the prices up and keeps the poor, poor. While also putting large numbers of them into prison.
Oh yeah..., that's exactly what I've always thought... (extreme sarcasm)You can educate people/kids on drugs without making the drugs legal and without them trying the drugs out for themselves.
Drugs such as Meth, heroine and cigarettes are extremely addictive and are best avoided.
And as several people have pointed out, 'safe' drugs can still be laced/mixed with unsafe ones.
Don't be fooled. It's not the ILLEGALITY that causes drug crimes, it's the ADDICTIONS that do.
Making illegal drugs legal won't change the addictions, it will only encourage them.
Think about your reasoning. Cigarettes are legal. Has that stopped kids from trying them? And trying them is where the addiction begins.
As for illegal games: They should have no more restrictions than a movie or audio recording have. The only difference between any of them, is just that games are interactive.
