If Drugs Were Legalized Tommorrow, Would Anyone Go Out and Start Smoking Crack or Shooting Heroin????
Question by donking513: If drugs were legalized tommorrow, would anyone go out and start smoking crack or shooting heroin????
I’m curious because anytime anyone argues that the war on drugs should be ended, for some reason people assume that means that everyone will use drugs. If you wouldn’t become a crackhead just because it was legal why would everyone else? Drugs are easier to get when they are illegal, does prohibition really prevent anyone who wants to from using drugs. Why is it then whenever anyone proposes ending prohibition all you hear about it how horrible drugs are? Of course they are horrible that is exactly why we need to control these substances, get them out of our schools and kids hands. Set up maintenence clinics for addicts, get them out of our prisons and stop them from robbing and stealing from us to pay hugh sums of money to violent dealers who kill each other and us because they have no legal means to resolve business diputes. Ignorance is deadly.
