While not a big proponent of harder rec drugs I would say that anecdotal evidence/experience is hardly a basis in which to base a broad national policy on. If you believe that, then you'd be about as dumb as the ones sticking oxy, or worse into thier arms.
Why was the country you were born in ravaged by such hell?
Because, drugs are illegal in the u.s.a. If they were legal, your country would clearly not have experienced that kind of violence or problems. It would be no different than a crop like coffee, or sugar cane and worth about as much or less.
If steroids were grown in the dirt, and demand was high enough, your comment about it being a victimless crime would contradict your position on rec drugs.
Did you never hear of the Volstad (sted?) act? Ever hear of Al Capone? Prohibition created all sorts of crime. How is it any diffferent from rec drugs? Tell me. -No didn't think so. If booze was still illegal, Canada would have a shit-pile of problems with organized crime making and shipping booze to the states to fill demand. Just like is occuring in Columbia and other countries RIGHT NOW.
I went to high school and knew a guy who "...started hitting the bottle" Guess what? He can't hold on to employment, or funtion like a regular person, blah, blah, blah.
Dumbest justification? Your argument has so many holes in it it's clearly a reactionary one spawned by the belief in the idiotic government propaganda regarding drugs and how the only way to manage them is with prohibition.
If you do rec/illegal drugs your just dumb. If you drink excessively your just dumb. If you gamble excessively your just dumb. Lots of dumb shit out there.
Legalize drugs and take the 90 BILLION dollars spent over the last decade and pump that into education and awareness and rehabilitation instead of enforcement and incarceration and your country (both the states AND Columbia would change overnight). Geez how much money did it take in education and awareness to reduce smoking over the last 20 years? I'll bet it wasn't anywhere near 90 billion dollars, was it?
