Drugs

Hmmmm, I might evolve in the future about this future.

Considering this forum is full of people who seem to constantly get high, could you explain why you're supporting drugs decriminalization???

The default state of things is to be non-criminalized, so if you support the criminalization of anything, the onus is on you to justify it. It would make more sense for you to first give your reasons for why you think drugs should be criminalized, and then people have people respond to that.

You don't understand. I might change my mind on this issue. But I need to understand why it would improve things!

If the criminalization side of this issue can't provide any reasons for criminalizing drugs, than by default the decriminalization side wins, because there is no reason to criminalize something that there is no reason to criminalize. If you can't think of any reasons why drugs should be criminalized, that in itself should be the only argument necessary to get you to support decriminalization

I'm not trying to defend the criminalization side. I'm trying to understand the decriminalization side!
