I agree with u on the drug dealers part. I was one of those in the past. Really small time one. I dont believe he is truly talking about the small time one. Rather those that mass produce them and traffickers
This is the difference, and I feel it’s implicit.
Trump had an alcoholic brother. I'm sure he feels strongly about it, watching his loved one go through that. That's probably partially why he never done drugs or alcohol.
Still IMHO there is no justification to use expand the death penalty in this way.
No offense to anyone esp. Trump but it's either fantasy, adorable naivete or utter lunacy to believe that declaring the death penalty for selling products will stop the sale of the products.
If the drug war has succeeded in any way at all, it is in this one single regard: we know for a fact that, no matter what, people who want to use drugs will get them. Period.
I say let them. I don't rail at people for drinking their guts out every night. I just let them do it. It's their choice.
Are you Christian?
It's a start though. People will always seek to get high your correct. However cutting off the supply chain is a huge thing. Death penalty would stop some but not all. There is no one action that will stop it completely. It must be a combination of multiple things. I believe applying the death penalty atleasy shows the seriousness they have to stop it.
Cool. Now do gun control.
Prominent (and totally correct) right-wing argument: Making guns illegal won't stop people from having guns.
So we also observe that: Making drugs illegal doesn't stop people from having drugs.
Neither will killing people selling products to adults who want them. Now, selling to minors, as with alcohol and tobacco, should remain illegal. But govt has no legitimate right to commandeer free adults' bodies and dictate what goes in and what doesn't — just like with the pseudo-vaccine.
I disagree and the gun comparison doesnt work because I'm not saying simply making drugs illegal. I'm saying going after the huge drug producers and traffickers. This will most definitely stop alot of drugs being spread across the world. Also I strongly disagree with ur view that drugs should be legal just because we have a right to put in our body what we choose. Because drug addicts end up effecting the community and a whole at some point. Either theft, destruction of stuff, violence, money invested to help them, so many things. We should be trying to better society not allowing drugs to destroy it
