The problem with legalizing one is: the door is then open to legalize all narcotics. The addiction of some of these drugs is so strong that people steal for it, sell all of their belongings for it, and sponge even further off of government welfare for it. I saw a court case on television where a mother used the $5,000 she received for her daughter completely on crack cocaine. I refuse to pay taxes for people to get high. The system is already broken enough.


You already pay taxes for plenty of people to get high. How is keeping the drug illegal going to ensure you don't? If anything, because of inflated prices caused by illegality of the drugs they're spending more of your tax money. Wink

The world isn't so black and white. If drugs were made legal on a federal standpoint, I would honestly consider relocating to a different country. That's because the effect would transfer to those who don't want drug abuse in one way or another, and probably in a pretty detrimental way.


The opposite has been proven time and time again in countries that have taken steps to decriminalize recreational drug use. Lower crime rates, lower drug use rates, etc.


I don't believe that would happen in America. People here are far too stupid with their liberties. Hell, most of us don't even vote. If the legalization of drugs would make for less use rates, then I'm all for it. However, I highly doubt it.
