It is disingenuous to say selling drugs is a victimless crime. Plus, buying street drugs, YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. They can put whatever they want and they do put whatever they want into it. More people die from illegal drug use than covid even came close to killing. What you are advocating is the legalization and regulation of drug use. But you will still have a criminal element involved. So, just stop saying "victimless crime" because you are wrong.

If you release people for victimless crimes, prosecutors stop prosecuting people for said crimes. And then eventually drugs become legal and no one goes to jail for putting a drug in their body and then they can get help without fear of jail time if they get found out for using drugs. There are no victims for doing drugs, zero. So it should not be a crime. There are no victims for selling drugs either. It is no different than your corner liquor store. Now if you kill someone while on drugs or kill someone to eliminate the competition then those are crimes but those crimes have nothing to do with the selling of or taking of drugs.

Well as a former drug addict I can easily say, all of this is patently false. You start off by experimenting with some friends at school because its "cool", then the next thing you know you are stealing to support your habit that by now is almost completely out of your control. You have NO IDEA on what you are talking about.
