@clockguy2 You know sir, having it put that way, I think you have actually swayed me. I think something of that magnitude however would have the opposite effect in the beginning though, and by making it so available, it would destroy even MORE lives than it already does before we would see the kind of improvements you speak of. But hearing the way you put that makes me wonder if the risks may not be worth it...

[clockguy2]

@Timmah603 I've seen what cocaine does firsthand also. Many of my friends were and some are still users. I want to take the bad-boy glamor away from it. I want to lower it's price to take away it's power from the underworld, free up the money used to fight it legally, and use it's taxed revenue to educate and fund rehabs. I am against cocaine use, but feel that making it illegal is not the best way to contain it's use or protect an individuals rights.

[Timmah603]

@clockguy2 You know, from one point I agree with you. But, on another, I have SEEN what cocaine does to people, and what it makes them do to OTHER people first hand. Legal or otherwise, making something so destructive readily available would be akin to releasing a Zombie plague in my eyes. Seriously think about the effects of what you are saying on a "grander scale" before you defend something such as this.

[clockguy2]

@Timmah603 Yes, all drugs should be legal. I heard a story that a university somewhere had "keep off the grass" signs everywhere, but no one paid any attention to them. When they gave up trying to enforce it and even removed the signs, a majority of the people stopped walking on the grass. Want someone to do something?...tell them they can't.

@clockguy2 starting by ours (USA)

@Timmah603 The stuff its everywhere buddy decriminalizing it would not push people into using it. Look at portugal, they decriminalize it and consumption has gone DOWN. Jails are pack with people who done no harm to anyone but them selves. Lobbyst push for tougher and tougher penalties so they could get more costumers on theirs hotel chains (couch couch prison complex).putting people in jails its BIG BUSINESS now days. We are so dependent on the fed to tell us what to do. no tnx i'm a grown man

@WALTERBROADDUS that would never happen
