I pray this happens. America needs to stop eating its young.
At what age do you recommend children start doing drugs?
Way to make a strawman, dude.
And as others have said, this really needs to happen. Doing drugs (and possibly risking personal safety) shouldn't be something that people have to spend the rest of their lives paying for, with both prison time and a criminal record. One of the most extreme cases would be this man, currently serving live in prison with no chance of parol for...possessing 13 sheets of LSD.
And distributing in cold blood one of the most dangerous drugs to others who could harm themselves using it.
I guess his sentence is making him think twice as to whether it was a good idea to put others in danger.
Um, no. That is an objectively false statement. If anything LSD is one of the least dangerous psychoactive substances out there. It's not addictive, you cannot overdose, it has little to no long-term effects, and could actually have valid medical applications.
Glad to see you think people who do stupid things should be forced to pay for it for the rest of their lives. Tell me, what else do you think is worthy of being locked up forever?
It's not "objectively" false; you're using that word incorrectly. While it is non addictive, it can be incredibly dangerous as a result of its effects which I don't believe I need to articulate because you're the man with all the answers.
Yes, if you actively endanger the lives of others you should have to pay for it. That's why we have criminal law. Now, I would argue that life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is an unjust sentence for any crime, but that man deserved a lengthy sentence.
No, I am using it correctly. Just going by raw data, LSD is among the least dangerous substances out there:
That, and you didn't even bother addressing my other points about the drug (like how it could have medical uses).
Also, even if he didn't recieve a life sentence, he would still recieve a criminal record which would follow him for the rest of his life, and would make it harder to re-integrate into society.
Plus, what Sawx said.
