Ha ha, you accidentally said something smart.
In parts of Switzerland, for example, addicts are supplied with clean heroin and needles to shoot up safely at a govt. clinic at no charge, as part of a public health initiative. It is stunningly successful.
It costs the citizens far less than arresting and incarcerating users. They get off the street, stop committing crimes to support their habit, hold down jobs, regain custody of their children, slash the risk of disease and death...and receive all the counseling and rehab they want once they decide to kick, which is usually a lot SOONER than when out on the street sucking cock for smack, where they feel trapped with no way out. The only way to cope with the psychic pain of that lifestyle is...to shoot more dope. The vicious circle never ends.
Even Conservative George Shultz, Sec of State under Drug-War Kingpin Ronald Reagan, advocated full drug legalization back in the 80s after he left office. His position was that the drug war is an abject failure; people will get what they want; keeping drugs illegal costs society more than liberty; and viewing drug addiction as a health problem instead of a criminal justice problem is the way.
Yet there are still people who continue to believe stubbornly that if you just make drugs illegal enough, stigmatize users enough, punish them and hate them hard enough, then nobody will have any.
ROFLMFAO LOL OMG AFAIK Portland's a shithole. Why would anyone want to move there? That's stupid.
Also, I've never taken heroin because it's stupid. I don't drink alcohol either. Addictive deadly drugs...not my thing.
I was going to ask if you agree that's pretty smart, but how would you know
I've never had and never will have a twitter account. It's stupid.
I never have "advocated for abortion". That's stupid.
Understanding that what free adults in a free society put into their own bodies (which they and they alone fully own) is their business is smart and in line with our founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Don't like it? Don't take drugs. Pretty simple, unless you're too simple-minded.
If you're not a teetotaler like me, you yourself already take in an addictive, lethal substance for fun on occasion, which the federal govt at one time had BANNED NATIONWIDE by Constitutional Amendment. According to you, since it's deadly and addictive, it should be illegal because "hard drug," right? Whatever your answer, your hypocrisy is exposed. Way to paint yourself into a corner.
The funny thing is, even now you still don't recognize how completely you've lost this debate. As such, you will probably continue it and dig yourself deeper. Go.
