Which drugs do you think should be legal for personal use?

[DownWithTheLeft]

I can't find any reason why any of these drugs should be illegal.  People you say otherwise obviously live in a fantasyland where making drugs illegal actually stops their consumption.

So, by that logic, you also support abortion rights?

No, making abortion illegal would signifigantly cut down on the number of abortions given the difficulty of obtaining and risk of obtaining one.  There is no difficulty or risk in obtaining drugs for personal use.

Right, who cares about the thousands of women who would die as a result. Their own fault right?

I fail to see how its not, just as the thousands of people who may die as a result of legalizing these drugs.  Doesn't mean we should stop them.  Think Oliver Wendell Holmes quote on forced sterilization here

All of it.

And if the government controlled it and taxed it - buh bye deficit.

Which is exactly why I feel this way (although I sense some sarcasm in your response???)

No, I'm serious.  The War on Drugs hasn't done sh**t.  Let's tax it and regulate it and when some junkie wants a fix he can go to a 7-11 and use his Visa card instead of shooting up half the neighborhood trying to rip off some dealer for a quick fix.

Exactly, many people fail to realize that these drugs at a conveince store or pharmacy would cost about 2% of what they do on the street (cite Buckley)

Just curious, who here has done any of these drugs?

probably almost everyone?

Yea, this forum is filled with a lot of idiots

including you and me, of course. Note that alcohol is listed as "one of those drugs".

Well, I don't really consider it to be one of those drugs as its already legal
