Well, I think using drugs is really a victimless crime, because you can't commit a crime against yourself. If the gov't can tell us what we can and can't put into our bodies, where does it end? Its a slippery slope.
While drugs like meth, crack, and heroin and many others that are far too popular are horrible for your body and cause addiction, the current system we have to 'fight' it doesn't work.
We're fighting the drug addicts for being drug addicts. And its obviously not working because there are more and more arrests every year. |
That would mean it is working. More arrests=more effectiveness.
Legalize marijuana just like cigarettes. Make sure it doesnt fall into the hands of tobacco companies. Then put more money into our border protection and if necessary, take it to the countries producing the coke and opium, shut down the drug production at the source. Meth would be pretty hard since its domestic.
