Wow. I am very impressed Very well though out and put together. I think a few things of what he says may be a little off in my opinion but thats why its an opinion. Like legalizing all drugs.

I think to legalize drugs would cause a few problems in society.

But ot legalize harmless drugs such as Mj would be good for the economy and they can take the 10billion$ a year they spend on the drug war against Mj and use it for helping true addicts.

If people "experimented" with drugs because they became legal, and then they became addicted, it would be their own damn fault. The PEOPLES' fault. If people weren't around, the drugs would just sit there.

marijuana laws are more harmful than the drug itself

@cinesimonj ....(4)....Research? I have done the research, I LIVED IT. So next time don't assume that I was jumping to conclusions. Like I said, expierences the violence 1st hand from the users, but not much from the dealers. And I know how they think, they know what they are doing, they just don't care...there is a BIG difference.

@cinesimonj .....(3)... just because you were some "higher-class" drug user that doesn't change the facts because you were surrounded by a different class of people. Besides, apart from the violence that I have seen come with drugs & Alcohol, there is an underline prininciple above all that that nobody understands...That is why can't people just have sober thoughts? Why does everyone want to get high or intoxicated, human beings were not suppose to live this way. Its an Unnatural State of mind.

[andy77718]

@cinesimonj .......Simple Truth is if WE DIDN'T Have Drugs & Alcohol in this world we wouldn't need cops, and you want to Legalize it because you think you can regulate it. I scoff at the idea, how do you regulate crack-cocaine? Or parties drugs like MDMA or ecstacy, its pure junk, thats why it is such a good high. They actually put holes in your brain (E & MDMA). Your just condoning it and saying that drug use is okay. Not matter how you try to tamper it down......

[andy77718]

@cinesimonj Well if you really were a Junkie, then I doubt you were in the narrows when you were "hooked on heroin", probably already came from a middle class family before you became a Junkie, but I KNOW from personal expierence that YES they are criminals and violent. They are called "Tweakers" because they tweak out, crackheads are the worst but heroin junkies can get paranoid and aggressive too. I have been attacked by them so so many times..........
