Legalize all drugs. Keep illegal all public safety activities being performed while under the influence. Including if you fail as a parent because of drugs, your children will be taken away from you. If you choose to kill yourself using drugs, so be it. |

Well, I've read a lot of the stories and I agree your life has been quite colorful. I just never saw you in my felony du jour crowd. |

Can't control the world in such a manner John. Even if you try to do so you fail. As we are doing now. Education and treatment is the correct way to deal with these issues. Not making more criminals. |

I don't think drug addicts should be treated as criminals. Drug dealers, however, should be. And I don't have a problem with education and treatment. However, to tell people not to take methamphetamine since it will kill them but to make it freely available is a bit silly. |

It already is freely available. That is what you cannot stop. |

You can't stop men beating their wives either, but that doesn't mean it should be made legal and dealt with solely by counselling sessions and education. Junkies don't just damage themselves. Therefore, the drug dealers aren't just hurting their customers, they help to create a broken environment. |

You sound exactly like the members of the temperance movement. "We know what's best for all of you!" <- ![]() So what if the environment is "broken". If you want to live in a "broken environment" I am not going to stop you. And neither should anyone else. |

No, I don't. Have you seen what happens to someone who takes crystal meth? Legalising marijuana or alcohol isn't the same as legalising crack cocaine, or meth. You sound exactly like someone who only sees the world in black and white. And as I said, if the environment is broken, others suffer - children and loved ones end up being abused and damaged. |

You miss my point. You cannot stop people from doing these things. Period. It is exactly the same thing. |

Yep. I don't see 'I can't' as being in her vocabulary. |

You can't stop people from doing lots of things. Should they all be legal, too? Since it's going to happen anyway, why not just let people charge for admission? |

I think we would be better off treating drug abuse as a medical problem rather than a criminal problem. The current approach clearly is not working. We are filling our prisons up with nonviolent offenders where they quickly learn to become violent offenders. Locking up drug dealers would be unnecessary if they no longer have a market. |

I completely agree with that. I also think that legalizing 'soft' drugs such as marijuana could very well undermine hard drug use, since it ceases to be a gateway to the really dangerous stuff. I suspect the main reason Mark wants hard drugs legalizing is that he wants the government to organize their taxation.
