Quote:Heroin, Meth, etc...

 

You really think that should be made readily available to the public?  Good Lord man.

Not really.

 

But criminalizing addiction doesn't work.

 

No one should be arrested for smoking a crack rock.

But on the same token, we shouldn't sell crack or allow people to sell it on the streets.

 

Decriminalization of drug USE is the way to go.

Legalization of marijuana USE for adults 21+ is long overdue.

 

Also... the government shouldn't regulate what I put in, on, or around my body. It is MY body.

This goes for crack, weed, beer, thirst busters, or prostitution, imo.

 

Not everyone has my view points.. and I'm OK with that in theory.

But the general idea shouldn't be arguable.

 

Yes, the government wants to curb (or appear to want to curb) spread of disease and addiction. Education and treatment are the best way to combat these things and still allow people to live their own lives their way. We don't want to open up some crazy idea that overusing drugs is OK.

But responsible adults should be allowed to use in private.

I have known people that have held down jobs and provided for family while also using some pretty "heavy" drugs.
