It deteriorates societies, look at all the meth labs, the crack houses, the drug infested ghettos, the child abuse b/c of drugs, gang & drug related violence...all the addicts ...it helps if these things are flowing freely through our country...most people don't want that crap out in the open. It doesn't look good or help anything. Sorry.
btw this is my last post in this thread- if you still don't get it than there's nothing I can say that will make you get it.edit on 3-1-2011 by freedish because: (no reason given)edit on 3-1-2011 by freedish because: (no reason given)

just because YOU like to do illegal drugs doesn't mean the rest of the country shares your favorite past time. Obviously if enough people wanted the law changed IT WOULD CHANGE, just like when they tried to pass prohibition, and the people went nuts so they repealed it...sry u can't get it through your head that not everyone shares your opinion....btw how is forming my own opinion based on life experiences and research being a sheep? maybe you should question why you enjoy doing illegal drugs so much...because the rest of this country isn't like you. sorry.edit on 3-1-2011 by freedish because: (no reason given)

You dont need to know anything about the constitution to know that drug offenders need to be in jail.
It's an OPINION that most americans have...
otherwise the laws would be different....we the people...not we the government

Star for you BFT! you are absolutely correct. What's more The prison industrial complex is being beefed up by FEMA... in preparation for 'Patriot Act' provisions
The grand scheme for Amrc (lol, publicly traded acronym?) is opening it's disgusting plan before our very eyes.
If you believe that We The People has applied in the last 50 years, you may be mistaken.
Drug laws are the way they are because of tyranny. Nothing more. What does it matter to you what a drug user does? Why do you care? The laws obviously don't deter anyone...so what is the goal? To just round people up? That is all that the drug laws do....round up people. Of course, those people are usually either minority or low income earners.
But what business is it of yours if someone wants to sit at home and do drugs? Or if they want to purchase the time of a prostitute?
I will tell you what...lets have a generation of actual, true, honest discussion about drugs, drug use, and drug policy. Then put it to a vote by the people. The half assed brainwashing used by the religious right (which is a large portion of who keeps pot illegal) and the government (who makes a ton of money off of their growing and selling of drugs from third world countries likeCosta Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Colombia, Laos, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Mexico, etc, etc) have created an "education" around a message that promotes their own means.
I will make note that you prefer to impose your will on others in a tyrannical fashion. Stripping the choice, and responsibility for that choice, from the individual.edit on 2-1-2011 by bigfatfurrytexan because: (no reason given)
