....say those behind a Johns-Hopkins study done in advance of the special UN General Assembly on drug use. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-maybe-go-even-further/?tid=pm_business_pop_b Give me your arguments for NOT legalizing ALL drugs.
I just think of how you can buy pot in store in Colorado, and that would be fine to have everywhere. But the thought that it would be that easy to get your hands on heroin is a little bit terrifying.
Show me scientific proof that herion or crack have good qualities. Marijuana is one thing, those drugs are on a different level.
The only good quality I can think of for heroin is pain management. The dependency created pretty much nullifies that as does other pain medications. Crack is whack.
What are "good qualities"? If you want scientific proof of something, you might want to try to make it an actual definable thing. As a starting point.
If you make anyone that wants to take drugs move to a designated state, like Alaska, then I don't have a problem with legalizing all drugs.
Counterpoint: heroin is available in every state already. Driving it above ground may aid in identifying those who are using it and need help.
I hate gambling. Don't know that I can make a credible argument for it being illegal, but I hate it. It preys on the stupid and desperate.
Or it might result in tons of people starting to do it because it's as easy buying a pizza. I could be wrong, but I think there are a lot of people who will smoke pot but not do heroin just because of the difference between the type of people you have to deal with to get each one.
Yep. If you want hard drugs you will find them without much issue regardless of legality, it's unfortunate but it's also reality. The fact of the matter is that they exist, and aren't going away.
I would much rather wage a war on Big Pharma, strictly from the standpoint they have created more addicts than all the other drugs ever thought about. The US consumes 80% of the world's opiod supply, and 99% of the world's hydrocodone supply. In fact, in 17 states, prescription drugs kill more people than car accidents, which used to be the number one cause of death in those states. But yeah, let's keep fighting the homeless crack addicts.
