Drugs - Bloody Eye - 04-10-2016
What drugs should be legalized?
If legal, should they only be available medically?
If illegal, should they be decriminalized?
Should users be punished or treated as "sick" people?
Should dealers/distributers/manufacturers be punished?
I think:
- Marijuana should be legal, and taxed like any other crop.
- Marijuana should be available, like any over-the-counter medicine.
- Drugs like Ecstasy, Mushrooms, and LSD should be decriminalized (or at least treated as more minor misdemeanors).
- Drugs like Cocaine, Crack, Methamphetamine, and Heroin should be illegal like they are now.
- Users should be treated differently from other convicts (murder, theft, assault). Maybe rehabilitated?
- Small-scale operators should receive minimal sentencing compared to organized crime operators. Nobody should be in jail more than 3-5 years (unless you're Escobar, or something).

I agree with exactly everything you said.

I agree, but over the counter? No. Sold like alcohol? Definitely.

Alcohol is sold over the counter.

I meant more discretely. I thought CVS or wallgreens when he said "over the counter." I was thinking like specs where they card you at the door.

You already mentioned everything I agree on.
Well done.

drug use is a personal and private matter and it is not the place of a government to enforce a moral belief system onto others
addiction should be treated as a public health issue and these people should get the help they need and deserve
RE: Drugs - Cyber Warrior - 04-10-2016
Well said, I agree with most of things you said here.

You've made some very valid points, particularly with Marijuana.
It's used medically to treat a wide range of deficiencies and diseases, so I don't see why (when Issued as per It's recommended dosage) It Isn't legalized In all parts of the globe.

Depressing. Nobody disagrees with me. I didn't even have to cite anything.
