We can't just stamp "you must be over 18 to buy this" on it just like cigs & booze. Also there are very valid reasons why such substances are illegal. About weed, thats a very tricky drug for some its ok, for others, its beneficial to their health, but for some its a gateway drug, but i do think it should be decriminalized. (0wrds
i agree with alot that you said, but theres a lot more to it than that. growing & regulating hard drugs like cocaine & heroin, criminals will still grow theirs & in order to be competitive vs the taxed stuff, more kidnappings for free labor would occur. It's not a simple issue.
you can get a gun legally, but not before taking training, getting your record checked & applying for permit. legalizing hard substances , is like selling a gun like candy.
Me personal opinion is that marijuana should be made entirely legal. I also think that all other drugs should be decriminalized as far as possession and usage (not dealing). This solution would, though not completely ending it, shrink the rampant drug cartels in the Americas. It would also, as Dan said, make people more apt to seek treatment for addiction. This is very similar to what Dan suggested, but I just don't think we should make all drugs 100% legal.
That may be true to some extent-some people are intensely prone to becoming addicted to a drug-but not every person who partakes of said drug. Just as most people can go shopping with no problems but some people will become addicted and go crazy with their shopping. Most people can blow a few bucks gambling and walk away but some with not stop till they've lost it all. The issue isn't really the substance or activity so much as the addictive nature of some people vs most who just aren't.
"People should have the right to do whatever they want to do in the privacy of their own homes so long as what they do doesn't interfere with other people...". Should sane, sensible 15 year old teenagers be allowed to use meth-amphetamines? Restricting them to do so would interfere with their own, personal choice, right? There are limits for everything. In some countries, you must be 18 to drink. Your rationale is extreme - I believe in social ideals and conditions, not fanatical ideology.
I'm with you on the whole personal freedom thing, obviously weed should be legal. It's not even worth debating at this point. As far as legalizing all drugs, I think it's a shaky subject. You really want meth, crack, coke to be legal? I do think people have the right to do whatever the hell they want in the privacy of their own homes, but I don't think it would be a great idea to make it easy for people to get their hands on actual "dangerous" drugs.
@cjc651 I agree completely. Some drugs WOULD inevitably unleash hell on society, because drugs like meth, crack and coke are intensely addictive and dangerous. Crack is a completely different ball game than marijuana.
the united states should consider legalizing marijuana.if they taxed it...it could be like crops like a long time ago.now people say"but it messess with vision and how you operate."so does alchohol."the produce marijuana may give you cancer"first off,so do cigarrettes.second of all,does it have to be that proccess stuff.no.all i see is truck loads of money for america.foget saftey...isnt it always about the money.
war over seas is all about oil. fosil feuls would not be needed if we legalized cannabis cannabis can be used to make biofeuls. therefore people asking questions about cannabis ligality is a constructive question get YOUR head straight
@aaronwiles92 Cannabis legalization would not allow for biofuels to completely take over fossil fuels. What we need is a combination of both while we work on other forms of clean renewable energy to replace these fuels. It would also help our economy to drill in Alaska and anywhere were oil is found in the US until be create a better way.
We do have Dan back as he used to be pre-D3P0. He just calls his show Delicious Steak, and gets sponsored now. And to be honest I'm liking the vlogs a lot more now, actually, than I had before D3P0 started. Anyone else appreciate the videos dan's making now?
Okay. That thing about it all being about weed on facebook townhall?
I find it perfectly acceptable that everyone wants it legalised, With all the wars, the famine, the crime, the recession OFCOURSE everyone cares about a drug that makes everything seem so much better. they need a way to get through the day. so ofcourse they want the way they get through the day legal. I understand exactl;y why weed use is growing more popular. and thats why its such a big deal, cause the worlds so bad.
Completely incorrect Dan. Marijuana Prohibition is our generations priority because it should be. Instead of wasting countless billions fighting marijuana, and arresting and imprisoning otherwise law-abiding citizens, our government could use that money to build hospitals and treat the sick. I challenge you to get the facts, and see that Prohibition is destroying our country. Get on board with your generation, and help us fight to end the Drug War now!
was anyone else watching the clock behind his head go from 7:17pm to 7:36pm so quickly? personally, it would have taken me much longer to bring all of that information together
um yes susan,, it does make him stupid, and it makes him lazy, lazy because he wont research the problem himself and come to the most logical solution for it. it makes them all stupid and lazy,, you have to protest for somone els to figure your life out for you? your all stupid AND retarted.
You have my trust Dan!!! I love delicious steak :)
I have to admit.. a few months after Dan 3.0 started i lost interest, just because i couldn't keep up with it i guess, and it was all so intense (for you too I'm sure!) but when i started seeing these interesting topics pop up in my Subscriptions I've started going back to watch all you're delicious steak videos! i think they are awesome :)
Because nothing can stay the same forever... and i think this change is definitely for the best :)
Dan, you're seriously missing the point. The point is not that we care so much about weed that we had to ask the president. Its not so much the one and only issue we were asking. The broader point behind the question is restrictive government vs libertarian viewpoints. Arguably it is the most important question we could ask. It is a question to determine the future of society as a whole. The answer to these questions will radically change future society.
i agree, even though i wouldnt do any of those drugs, but just like people really cant go out drunk, they shouldnt be allowed to be publically high either
I agree with you Dan. Look at what Portugal has done recently. They have shown that this method works and lowers the use of drugs. America is failing due to its archaic political practices.
@TheHairyDuck Seriously? You really need me to tell you? They do harm to your body, they're addictive, they lead to other drugs, they destroy lives, some make you dumb/lazy, some make you stupid, some make you violent, the industry is run by thieves, murderers, liars, and despicable criminals (larger drugs especially), they're completely useless except for selfish self-indulgence to feel cool, or giddy, or euphoric or slightly better about yourself and escape reality. :P Any questions?
@MagicTurtle643 I'll disregard the first part of your comment, as there are far too many points to argue via Youtube comments. However, I'd like to discuss your quote, " the industry is run by thieves, murderers, liars, and despicable criminals". This is exactly the problem with drugs such as marijuana- The industry is run by criminals. Legalization would take the business away from gangs and cartels, and drugs would be regulated in a way similar to alcohol. Message me if you'd like to talk more
@TheHairyDuck Well it might be true that drug addicts might stop going to criminals to get their fix if it was legalized. But to suggest that legalizing it for that reason is a good idea is like saying "Well, we give up trying to stop murderers so we might as well make it legal so that we're not failing anymore." To let something already dangerous into the world in order to stop it from being sold dangerousLY is kind of ridiculous logic. The problem is the stuff, not the vendor.

@MagicTurtle643 I'm appalled by the atrocities your comment contains. Comparing drug use to murder? Absolutely ridiculous. And what makes you believe marijuana is dangerous? Those D.A.R.E classes you took in 5th grade? Do some research on your own, and I think you'll find that you're opinions on the subject will change drastically.
@TheHairyDuck Impaired judgment and motor coordination / Shortened attention span and distractibility / Anxiety and panic attacks /Increased heart rate / Increased risk of heart attack / Increased risk for schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals
/ Impaired judgment / Problems with memory and learning / Decreased alertness and coordination / Addiction / Withdrawal symptoms from stopping drug use / irritability, sleeplessness, anxiety, impaired appetite, and aggression. - abovetheinfluence site
@MagicTurtle643 Nobody I know that smokes weed have ever experienced sleeplessness, anxiety, aggression, increased heart rate. And I know one girl that had panic attack, but that's because she was under a lot of stress at the time. Plus you got all of your information from a website that is againist the use of drugs that will more than likely lie about it's effects to keep people from smoking it. Oh I almost forgot to mention... it's not addictive and doesn't increase the risk of anything.
@MegaGuitarification Really? Because everybody that I know experiences sleeplessness anxiety and aggression, and I know two people who had panic attacks after taking it. So you assume a professionally funded website is lying about scientific facts and I'm supposed to take facts from somebody who smokes the stuff himself? Shame on that website for trying to keep kids and adults (same thing?) from harming their bodies. Anyway, sorry, you haven't convinced me.
@MagicTurtle643 Sorry your friends smoke laced stuff or k2. And sorry you're going to believe government regulated sites over sites with real facts about weed. Also did you know it has been scientifically proven pot cures some types of cancer? Also if it causes those symptoms why are doctors prescribing people pot in states where pot is legal? Because it relieves their pain and helps them sleep when other medicine doesn't work. So stop treating pot like a drug when it's not. It's an herb.
@MegaGuitarification Um. drug "A substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body, in particular." It's a drug. And it has plenty of negative effects cited by other sources beyond some company that's trying to help the youth that you consider a conspiracy. Such as WebMD: "distorted sense of time, paranoia, magical or "random" thinking, short-term memory loss, anxiety and depression, aggression, anxiety, depressed mood....
@MagicTurtle643 U, but what about alcohol and over the counter drugs? If you drink too much or take more than the recommended dosage, it could cause more serious health problems and can result in death. No one has ever died from marijuana.
Also, "distorted sense of time, paranoia, magical thinking, short term memory loss.." are all symptoms of being UNDER THE INFLUENCE of the drug. The "negative" short term effects (depression, anxiety) are rare and can be taken care of by discontinuing use.
@SFMtx123 Hey no argument there. I don't drink alcohol and I never will. And I don't use over the counter drugs. So yeah, in a way, I think alcohol is as bad or worse than weed :P Not that we should prohibit booze (lord knows that didn't work), but legalizing pot wouldn't solve anything. It would just be giving in to the demands of lazy potheads and make the country fatter, dumber and lazier.
@MegaGuitarification And the list goes on "rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased rate of breathing, red eyes, dry mouth, increased appetite, slowed reaction time.." Look it up on WebMD. And the title of this article says "USES and Effects." The positive effects of slightly easing other diseases are outweighed for recreational use. Medical marijuana is regulated. So if you still think the government is keeping the truth from us, that's probably the weed making you paranoid.
@MagicTurtle643 Which is perpetuated by the fact that people must transact with drug dealers who have access to harder, more dangerous drugs. If marijuana were sold in stores and regulated like alcohol, people only wishing to smoke cannabis wouldn't be pressured into trying other drugs.
@TheHairyDuck Well it wouldn't change the negative health effects of the drug, but yeah I'll agree with you about all of that stuff. It would probably make things better in that sense :)
@TheHairyDuck You might also want to check out my last argument with MegaGuitarification. I think you might find it interesting. Or you can just look up the effects and "uses" of marijuana for yourself on WebMD, since neither of you seem to think abovetheinfluence is a reliable site, since it doesn't agree with you. The incredibly long list of negative effects that WebMD cited were hilariously similar to me than the ones i cited before. So easy to argue when science and research backs you up! :D
@paulorphan true dat i think that our laws now prohibit them from killing themselves. but if we were to legalize drugs it would make them feel free to OD on the stuff(possibly in public). if people are dumb enough to use the stuff well poo to them (plus it might solve our population issue. lol)
If pot was legalised in the home, then that would immediately spark the use in public places and it would give people the attitude that it is OK to use it and that now it is legal, there must've been some scientific breakthrough which has discovered that it isn't dangerous. It gives people the idea that it is safe, which would then put pressure on others to use it in a social outing as they have no excuse not to use it. The legalisation of Marijuana would cause a slippery slope for other drugs.
@YThursday Marijuana is dangerous, yes, but not as dangerous as other legal substances. Because marijuana has a calming effect on people, they are less likely going to be using cars or putting themselves in dangerous situations. There have been people who have died while being stoned but being stoned never really had much to do with their death. The most dangerous thing about it is the smoke which as to be inhaled but even then the damage is about the same as from a cigarrette.
I live in a loft in the city. In an industrial and commercial city with poverty and crime to be exact. I don't want a bunch of addicts walking around. They may or may not interfere with me. It's more likely that they would break the law without knowing what they did while under the influence. The crime rate in my city is high enough. Though it is going down, me and many others would like to keep it that way.
I love that you talk about this topic and feel this way, because this is something i had discussed about with my father, and everything you touched up on, were things we had discussed within our conversation. it is all the money that we could make from legalizing all drugs and all the money we would be saving is more then enough money to fund NASA. plus if these drugs were "above ground" doctors, would be able to sell it or provide it for medical needs and such, and it would all be purely made.
So, just the same, should we give six year olds mommy and daddy's medications because they want it?
Remember, also, everyone that this is a question. Yes, people who see this and disagree will flame me, but just know, before you do, that you will be ignored. And possibly laughed at.
This has been a public service announcement by a very grumpy and tired me. I need to go to bed.
@cperalta92 "Also, growing marijuana in larger amounts means lowering the quality of the product." Surely, you don't think that when it is legalized there will only be one kind? I don't know much about weed, I've never smoked it, or bought it. But I'm assuming that just like everything else, there are going to be different brands with different levels of quality, why would quality be lost?
Dan, the money that people spend on drugs eventually goes into gangs and cartels. There's no knowing what the gangs spend them on, but it could (for example) be spent on weapons that are then used to kill other people. So, really, allowing people to buy from criminals, funds the criminals, and creates more crime. Just a thought for you here.
@tomizzmylife Yeah, but if it was legal, it wouldn't be bought from shady people. If it could be taxed and controlled, people wouldn't have to buy it from criminals and then money wouldn't go to gangs and cartels. Drugs could be made by regulated companies, making them less likely to kill people. The money would go into the company, not drug lord pockets.
Thanks for such a compelling argument for legalizing all illicit drugs...hadn't thought about that beyond marijuana. And hearing about how it worked in Portugal gives me hope.
Please don't say stupid things like "you didn't watch the video" ¬_¬
No, what I meant was, doesn't the use of marijuana lead to crimes? I wouldn't actually know myself, I just assumed that since drugs cause people to lose control of their own body and mind, couldn't it lead to people doing bad stuff as a result of taking marijuana?
@Samuelfindlay The gateway drug theory has been disputed and is not as valid an argument as it has been before, the study into this theory has produced mixed results, however it has been speculated that drug addicts who start by using marijuana already had a tendency towards harder drugs like heroine and cocaine, and are more likely influenced by the current situation of their lives at the moment . Losing control never happens the effects of marijuana relaxes a person's brain and muscles
dan, i have to call bullsh*t on this one. marijuana is like a combination of alcohol and tobacco, and by a combination, i mean a health risk. now, i know that you said that health risks shouldnt be a concern, but with a lot of drugs, not only is it a health risk to the user, it is a health risk to others, and leting people freely take halucinegenic or violence inducing drugs causes insanity, which causes damage to persons and property, and allowing that is just irresponsible
@Ace4929 Marijuana is in way a combination of alcohol and tobacco. It is less of a health risk than cigarettes. And what are you talking about halucinegenic or violence inducing drugs? So what if somebody trips out! and the drugs are not causing people to be violent. Thousand of people are killed now because it is illegal, that is irresponsible.
less of a health risk? all of the health risks that go with cigs, come faster with weed, and it also makes you in less control of your actions as if one was drunk. and here is the problem with somebody tripping out? what if some guy does whatever drugs and sees his family as a bunch of murderous robbers and then kills them all? and in all my life, i have never heard of anybody who has recieved the death penalty for doing drugs, and the only situation where that may happen is a super drug lord
@Ace4929 the health risks that come with cigs dont come faster with weed, are you kidding me? There is no scientific consensus on the long term effects of weed. I don't go by what ifs. And by thousands of people being killed I mean drug cartels killing people.
@lupe556 aparently you havent done your homework about weeds' effects on the lungs and throat. and it dosent matter if it is a what if. it really could happen. thats like playing a game of chess, moving a piece into a clever position, and you reject the possibility of retaliation because it would be what if he realizes what i am doing? and let me ask you a question, is the law killing people, or the drug traffickers, aka the drug cartells?
@Ace4929 It doesn't matter what the effects are, cigs cause cancer and they're legal. The law is making it so that that these drug cartels come to power and kill people.
@lupe556 so does pot. and are you saying that if the drugs were legal then the cartels wouldnt kill people? old habits are hard to break, even in legal business, because people would still not pay them, and they would still get whacked. the cartels didnt need the law to come to power, they needed the fear
@Ace4929 Without the law there would be no cartels. People would pay if it was legal business. And the cartels by all means need the law, if it wasn't for the law they wouldn't control the drugs.
@lupe556 who said they would stop business? the bootleggers still sold alcohol after prohibition ended. and business dosent need an opposition to excell, it needs customers and supply. and the law is not only trying to nab these monsters only because they sell drugs, that would be too easy. they are also trying to get them because they kill people
@Ace4929 Do tell me: How often to you hear about "alcohol dealers" (besides when selling to underage)? Yeah, RIGHT AFTER the prohibition, but it's obvious that that has stopped for many, many years. Of course it won't come to a complete stop right away, everything takes time and there is a transition period. "They are also trying to get them because they kill people" well, shit, that is one hell of a revelation.
@farewelle alright, forget the mafia crap. if you really think that this is a good idea, then put yourself into this scenario. Would you be ok with your grandchild (if you had one) of any age to be addicted to crack,or any other drug, just because it is 'legal'? my logic is that if you would then not only are you a sick person, that you would be okay with anyone, and if it wasnt okay for your grandkid, then it shouldnt be okay for anybody else
@farewelle i did watch the video, and to be fair, dan really makes it sound like a good idea, but like communism and giving every student a free ipad, it probably works better in theory then in practice. I dont care what the portugese do, americans are more violent, more stupid, and more frearmongering than the portugese. besides, to paraphrase my mother, 'if portugal jumped off a bridge, does that mean we should too?'
the war on drugs is a failure and its not going to get better so they might as well legalise pot so people are more likely to do pot instead of heroin
To everybody stating that you want "a different Dan Brown" or the "original Dan Brown" please just shut up already. This is NOT your vlog, it is HIS. He created this vlog, not you. It's annoying that all you have to say is "this is not what we want." Just let it be and watch his damn videos without thinking you own him and can change who he is. Cause (huge newsflash) YOU CAN'T.
@BmanCguyCOMBO See I knew this would get asked. I already touched on what makes it unnatural: the imbalance of chemicals in your body, with the plant being the catalyst. Yes, the plant grows naturally from the Earth, but just because IT is natural doesn't mean getting high from it IS. I hope that makes sense.
Disclaimer: I don't condemn those who use drugs, I simply have contrasting opinions for the only thing I CAN control: Me.
@keysfordoors I don't do drugs either, however, saying that it "isn't natural" is a TERRIBLE argument. Are you natural? Surely, you are not. You wear pieces of fabric on your skin, take shits in a ceramic bowl of moving water, and hell, look, you are typing into a computer! Look at you! Wood grows from the earth. I made a house out of it. Oh dear lord, I cannot live in it, it is unnatural. Drugs are a tool. Humans are capable of using tools, and drugs are one of these said "tools".
I realize that my above post seems backwards, what with me being absolutely against the USE of drugs and suggesting the idea of their legalization is a good idea. Perhaps even if something were to be put in place that stated a person genuinely seeking aid with a drug addiction would be granted some sort of pardon while the continued indulgence of drugs allowed the law to intervene, the fear of legal ramifications when reaching out for help would be diminished.
I am fully against the use of drugs. I believe that causing an imbalance of chemicals in your system via the inhalation, injection, or consumption of a foreign substance in order to enjoy yourself is going too far. There is no reason we as humans can't find safer, more natural ways of taking delight in our lives.
That being said, you, Dan Brown, have changed my mind on the subject of the legalization of drugs. I have seen first-hand the fear of legal repercussions when seeking aid. Well done.
Dan Brown, the president probably got soo many questions about the prohibition of pot that say because it was April 20th aka 420, a day pot smokers use to celebrate.
personally dan, I believe it's extremely important to learn from history on any topic of politics. I suggest we observe how other countries that legalize drugs are doing and have done and how it has effected them.
I think it is absolutely crazy how you support the legalization of all drugs in order for addicts to not be embarrassed to admit their addiction. All drugs should stay illegal because they are addictive and destroy your body. I understand you want to do what you want and freedom but at some point the government has to step in for your own good.
Thank you. I have been saying this for years and people look at me like I'm crazy~ Ugh. Maybe I should've gathered more supporting facts like the ones you presented.
(contnd) serious checks & balances & that would defeat the purpose. Obviously there's alot I'm not saying, but I'm sure you can see alot of the problems we would face.

Dan, you're seriously missing the point. The point is not that we care so much about weed that we had to ask the president. Its not so much the one and only issue we were asking. The broader point behind the question is restrictive government vs libertarian viewpoints. Arguably it is the most important question we could ask. It is a question to determine the future of society as a whole. The answer to these questions will radically change future society.

@TheHairyDuck Seriously? You really need me to tell you? They do harm to your body, they're addictive, they lead to other drugs, they destroy lives, some make you dumb/lazy, some make you stupid, some make you violent, the industry is run by thieves, murderers, liars, and despicable criminals (larger drugs especially), they're completely useless except for selfish self-indulgence to feel cool, or giddy, or euphoric or slightly better about yourself and escape reality. :P Any questions?

@MagicTurtle643 I'll disregard the first part of your comment, as there are far too many points to argue via Youtube comments. However, I'd like to discuss your quote, " the industry is run by thieves, murderers, liars, and despicable criminals". This is exactly the problem with drugs such as marijuana- The industry is run by criminals. Legalization would take the business away from gangs and cartels, and drugs would be regulated in a way similar to alcohol. Message me if you'd like to talk more
TheHairyDuck 5 months ago
@TheHairyDuck Well it might be true that drug addicts might stop going to criminals to get their fix if it was legalized. But to suggest that legalizing it for that reason is a good idea is like saying "Well, we give up trying to stop murderers so we might as well make it legal so that we're not failing anymore." To let something already dangerous into the world in order to stop it from being sold dangerousLY is kind of ridiculous logic. The problem is the stuff, not the vendor.

Because it relieves their pain and helps them sleep when other medicine doesn't work. So stop treating pot like a drug when it's not. It's an herb.

@MegaGuitarification Um. drug "A substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body, in particular." It's a drug. And it has plenty of negative effects cited by other sources beyond some company that's trying to help the youth that you consider a conspiracy. Such as WebMD: "distorted sense of time, paranoia, magical or "random" thinking, short-term memory loss, anxiety and depression, aggression, anxiety, depressed mood....
MagicTurtle643 4 months ago
@MagicTurtle643 U, but what about alcohol and over the counter drugs? If you drink too much or take more than the recommended dosage, it could cause more serious health problems and can result in death. No one has ever died from marijuana.
Also, "distorted sense of time, paranoia, magical thinking, short term memory loss.." are all symptoms of being UNDER THE INFLUENCE of the drug. The "negative" short term effects (depression, anxiety) are rare and can be taken care of by discontinuing use.

@SFMtx123 Hey no argument there. I don't drink alcohol and I never will. And I don't use over the counter drugs.

Look it up on WebMD. And the title of this article says "USES and Effects." The positive effects of slightly easing other diseases are outweighed for recreational use. Medical marijuana is regulated. So if you still think the government is keeping the truth from us, that's probably the weed making you paranoid.

If pot was legalised in the home, then that would immediately spark the use in public places and it would give people the attitude that it is OK to use it and that now it is legal, there must've been some scientific breakthrough which has discovered that it isn't dangerous. It gives people the idea that it is safe, which would then put pressure on others to use it in a social outing as they have no excuse not to use it. The legalisation of Marijuana would cause a slippery slope for other drugs.

@YThursday Marijuana is dangerous, yes, but not as dangerous as other legal substances. Because marijuana has a calming effect on people, they are less likely going to be using cars or putting themselves in dangerous situations. There have been people who have died while being stoned but being stoned never really had much to do with their death. The most dangerous thing about it is the smoke which as to be inhaled but even then the damage is about the same as from a cigarrette.

Dan, the money that people spend on drugs eventually goes into gangs and cartels. There's no knowing what the gangs spend them on, but it could (for example) be spent on weapons that are then used to kill other people. So, really, allowing people to buy from criminals, funds the criminals, and creates more crime. Just a thought for you here.
Cheers, Tom.
tomizzmylife 7 months ago
@tomizzmylife Yeah, but if it was legal, it wouldn't be bought from shady people. If it could be taxed and controlled, people wouldn't have to buy it from criminals and then money wouldn't go to gangs and cartels. Drugs could be made by regulated companies, making them less likely to kill people. The money would go into the company, not drug lord pockets.

@Samuelfindlay The gateway drug theory has been disputed and is not as valid an argument as it has been before, the study into this theory has produced mixed results, however it has been speculated that drug addicts who start by using marijuana already had a tendency towards harder drugs like heroine and cocaine, and are more likely influenced by the current situation of their lives at the moment . Losing control never happens the effects of marijuana relaxes a person's brain and muscles

I realize that my above post seems backwards, what with me being absolutely against the USE of drugs and suggesting the idea of their legalization is a good idea. Perhaps even if something were to be put in place that stated a person genuinely seeking aid with a drug addiction would be granted some sort of pardon while the continued indulgence of drugs allowed the law to intervene, the fear of legal ramifications when reaching out for help would be diminished.
keysfordoors 7 months ago
I am fully against the use of drugs. I believe that causing an imbalance of chemicals in your system via the inhalation, injection, or consumption of a foreign substance in order to enjoy yourself is going too far. There is no reason we as humans can't find safer, more natural ways of taking delight in our lives.
That being said, you, Dan Brown, have changed my mind on the subject of the legalization of drugs. I have seen first-hand the fear of legal repercussions when seeking aid. Well done.
