The Ghost of RubangB on 27 February 2009
| bardicverse said: @rubang - Stop pulling me back into this off topic post ;) Fair points around, though i disagree. Yet, I'll just make one point - You say that making drugs legal makes it easier for addicts to get help. What about making an enforcement system so strong that it makes finding illegal drugs IMPOSSIBLE? The addicts will go into withdrawal, and eventually come out of it entirely in time, with the drugs not being in their systems any longer. As they say "quitting cold turkey". Best help they can get |
Hahaha, I don't think that's possible. Give me a drugfree society and I'll show you a bunch of liars. The harder they are to find, the more expensive they are, and the more expensive they are, the more powerful the drug cartels are, and then more people die all over the world. Making drugs legal is the easiest/cheapest/fastest way to eliminate drug cartels, which I know we can agree is a very good thing. They kill innocent people who have never done drugs.
I also think that the amount of taxes needed for such a ridiculous enforcement system would drive everybody insane, whether they use drugs or not. A War on Drugs is seriously like a War on Videogames.
