Legalize ALL Drugs

When alcohol ceased being prohibited, crime dropped substanially because the black market for booze was moot, people could get it anywhere. It's silly to waste money punishing people for smoking pot or abusing some other drug. Hey, I got news for you, ANYTHING can kill you if you overindulge in it. ANYTHING. Look at all the fat kids that are around today. They sit on their ass and do nothing except munch on junk. Juvenile diabetes has skyrocketed. I don't feel like looking it up, so go ahead make my day. Millions and billions of dollars are being used to lock up nonviolent people simply because they possessed a plant that grows naturally on the Earth. I could think of a million better ways to spend that money.

Legalize all drugs. Let Big Pot compete with Big Tobacco, let the FDA regulate heroin and other currently illegal substances. That way people can get the methadone treatment they need without fearing for their freedom.

You would think conservatives would be for this, as it makes government smaller (hence their party name), but nobody dares come close to this side of the issue.

People have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies. Yes, they still shouldn't drive high or drunk, as that effects other people, but arresting people for smoking a joint in their fucking private residence? That's un-American.

Rack me, I'm out.

  1. Even if you do use drugs at home, it can still impare your judgement and lead you to hurt others. Plus it's just plain bad for you. We may have a right to do whatever we want to our bodies, but it's just not moral to let people kill them selves or others and not do anything about it. Drugs are illegal in the best interest of keeping people alive.

  2. You're too young and still being brainwashed by the school system to understand. Once you get thru college and have more life experience, then you'll understand.

  3. People can hurt people with guns, why aren't those illegal?

    ReplyDelete
  4. It can be illegal to carry a gun, that's why you need a special license. They make sure you're not a psycho before letting you carry one around or own one. That's why they aren't totally illegal.

    I still think I am right about the drugs, and don't think saying I'm "brainwashed" is a good enough answer to prove me wrong.

  5. Using your point about guns, why can't the same be applied to drugs? They have laws like that for Tobacco products, what's wrong with Pot? Marijuana is the one drug that has never killed anybody. It actually has medicinal value, unlike Tobacco.

    What triggered the brainwashing remark was when you mentioned how "it's just not moral to let people kill themselves", which is something they try to hammer into kids' heads. It's not moral to let people own guns, as guns can do much more harm. Did you even think about that side of the issue?

    Personally, I support freedom of choice. People have a right to smoke whatever plant they want, they can own guns if they want, they can do pretty much anything as long as it doesn't hurt others...sure, a few idiots may shoot somebody with a gun, but there are good, responsible gun owners who take great care into educating those around them of the dangers of guns. Same goes for smoking. There's the irresponsible nitwits who insist on smoking in public places, totally oblivious to other people's feelings about breathing smoke, but the majority of smokers are perfectly happy sticking to their private residance or the smoking section in public places.

    In other words, the Government has no right to tell adults what they can or cannot do, provided it doesn't do harm to others. People have smoked throughout time, in all cultures, it's not something that can be stopped, but it's something that should be contained. Let people have their fun.

  6. They should outlaw cheetos. Those are nasty, and bad for you. McDonalds too. Fast Food is gross. And bad for you. Make it illegal.

    See the absurdity in that? Now apply it to smoking.

  7. But, it really isn't moral to let people die. I wasn't lying when I said that. They haven't told us that at school, it's just common sense. It's why the police try to stop murders, and why they are trying to protect us from this terrorist stuff. All to protect people from dying. Same goes with hospitals. If hospitals aren't moral, why are they so popular? There's nothing wrong with owning a gun, unless you intend to kill when not doing so for self-defense. To answer your question, no, I did not think about it from that side of the issue, simply because it's not relevant to this and there is no reason to think of it that way.

    So, if you're ever dying, you won't want someone to save your life because it's just not moral to do so?

    Smoking cigarettes is not relevant either. Sure, it kills people, but it's legal for some reason. We are talking about illegal drugs, and why they are illegal. Why do you think most work places do drug tests? It's because they can change who you are, i.e. your attitude, your personality, your ambitions, etc. I still don't understand why you think all of this is okay.

    Yeah, the whole fast food thing was absurd, but when you apply to smoking, it does make more sense. I think you were getting at that it's absurd to think of smoking that way, well it isn't. That's like saying "I want to buy every Rosie O'Donnell movie and watch them. See the aburdity in that? Now apply it to food." See? Cause Rosie O'Donnell is gross, but food is good for you.

  8. i agree about marijauna but not really about any of the worse drugs like herion and cocane. the stuff will really screw u up and it shouldnt be legal.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Not relevant? There's nothing wrong with smoking weed unless you intend to drive a motorized vehicle.

    Why is tobacco legal? Money. Which is kinda funny, seeing as Marijuana is a much more lucrative business, well would be.

    "Cause Rosie O'Donnell is gross, but food is good for you."

    What the hell, kevin? That's not what I said at all. I said "Fast food is gross. And bad for you." That's TWO negatives, you put in a positive. Haha.

    "Why do you think most work places do drug tests? It's because they can change who you are, i.e. your attitude, your personality, your ambitions, etc. I still don't understand why you think all of this is okay."

    Kevin, you are talking about the irresponsible users. If we made laws based on all the stupid people we wouldn't be allowed to own guns because people would be scared shitless to go to work or school or the post office because they'd get shot. YOU DONT MAKE LAWS BASED ON WHAT STUPID PEOPLE DO!!!! Nobody should go to work high or drunk. That's common sense.

  10. Re-read my entire last paragraph, you obviously did not understand what I was trying to say.

    A lot of people out there who smoke weed are irresponsible, that's one of the reasons why they start doing it in the first place.

    If we didn't make laws based on stupid people, we wouldn't have a lot of the laws we have today; 'cause if everyone was smart, no one would do anything stupid to get in trouble, and there would be no use for laws. And we need these laws, cause people are stupid.

  11. "A lot of people out there who smoke weed are irresponsible,"

    That's not true.

    "that's one of the reasons why they start doing it in the first place."

    Wrong.

    This doesn't have anything to do with being smart. It's about one stupid person crashing into some other car while he's doped out of his mind, and therefore you can't enjoy a joint just to relax after a hard day of work. You are smart enough to know not to drive while intoxicated, so why should you be punished for the actions of some stupid guy?

    Re-read all my comments. You still don't get it. And food is good for you because rosie o'donnell is a fat lesbian...but while I was just talking about fast food being gross, you somehow put two subjects into your analogy.

  12. No, my quote about weed smokers being irresponsible was true; so was everything else I've said. I have no idea what you're trying to say. You somehow turn around all the facts I have given. I don't know what else to say to get you to see what I am saying is right. I think this has something to do with my newly developed Mac theory. I might blog about it some day.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ooooh a Mac theory...interesting...

    Your quote was not true. If it was, prove it, and everything else. Show me some facts.

    You have no idea? Just read the following again:

    "It's about one stupid person crashing into some other car while he's doped out of his mind, and therefore you can't enjoy a joint just to relax after a hard day of work. You are smart enough to know not to drive while intoxicated, so why should you be punished for the actions of some stupid guy? "

    Still no? Ok...

    Guy A is practically retarded and Guy B is of above average intelligence...they both smoke weed. One day Guy A get's into a car accident. Police blame it on the weed (rightfully so), and because of that, laws get passed that say Guy B cannot smoke weed at all.

    Now, because a stupid guy did something stupid, a smart guy can't enjoy a plant that grows naturally? Come on. One bad egg doesn't ruin the whole dozen. Just maybe the surrounding eggs. The eggs at the other end or another dozen could be fine.

  14. Thanks for your interest in my Mac theory.

    Well, smoking weed is irresponsibe because it alters your life and doesn't benefit anyone. Pot causes people to become lazy, forgetful, irresponsible, and alters ways of thinking and personalities to a "Who cares!" attitude. It causes school grades and attendence to decline. Smoking pot makes people very hungry; 60% of Americans are obese as it is! Our economy and social security will definitely crash with so many people on disability from bad backs because of obesity, crippled from falls because of being stoned, etc. Our health and legal worlds would become too stressed for quality service.

  15. "Pot causes people to become lazy, forgetful, irresponsible, and alters ways of thinking and personalities to a "Who cares!" attitude."

    Yes, that is true about weed, that is true about alcohol and tobacco. The responsible smoker only smokes after s/he's home for the day and not going to go out again til the morning. Or goes clubbin and has a ride home.

    I want to hear your mac theory. Start blogging.

  16. Haha, I just realized how funny what I wrote was.

  17. Ok, as long as it's "reponsible smoking," I guess it's not as bad.

    I'm not going to blog about it yet, I'm afraid it will offend too many people. But it basically says that Mac users are less intelligent than PC users. I, along with some other people who spotted the trend have some examples. It's really quite interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Haha, whatever man, it's the opposite. Macs are actually harder to use. Sure on the surface they're simple, but if you know what you're doing, they're more powerful than PCs. Whatever man.

    ReplyDelete
  19. This is going to be a comon misconception I am going to get from the Mac users. You see, I never said anything bad about the Mac or how people use it. It's just the people who use them are less intelligent. I'll have to put a disclaimer on my report saying that, cause the Mac users will take it the wrong way; thus supporting the Mac theory once again.

    So, what's so hard about Macs?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Not to mention AV technology is far superior on a mac. All the pros use macs in their edit suites.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well the whole plist system is much more sensical than the registry on a PC...unix is better and can do more than DOS...stuff like that.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Haha, this is only supporting my theory even more. For the second time, I am not saying anything bad about Macs. The quesiton wasn't, "How are Macs better than Windows?" I was asking why are Macs harder to use than Windows.

    What does "sensical" mean? If it was a typo or something and you meant to say "sensible," then it sounds like Windows would be harder to use.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I know that wasn't the question, but the answer is the same. Macs are harder to use because they do more things than PCs. Can't say it any simplier.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Could you please elaborate on that a little more? I know you said it couldn't get any simpler, but I don't understand yet. I bet PCs can do three times more than what Macs can do. There is a ton more software available for PCs. You can also install all types of operating systems on PCs as well, including Unix flavors. There is a lot more hardware out there for PCs, as well.

  26. while i agree with your logic,
    i can't say i agree with the hardcore drugs.

    they fuck you up so much, and are so addictive, that crackheads break into peoples houses and sell the shit they steal for crack money. that's not right, especially when you are the unsuspecting victim. and since most crackheads are homeless (or republicans... or cops) it's virtually impossible to track them down and arrest them.

    ReplyDelete
  27. But zooky, if they were legal, crackheads wouldnt have to break into houses to steal shit for money. they could get treatment without risking their freedom.
