When people start breaking the law to feed their addiction;hey should be given the option of being treated and/or accept the punishment that society dictates.

Be it beer, candy,drugs, porn, what-ever. If they start by choice, then they can have the cholice of treatment or consequences. Right now, there are no serious consequences to their actions.

If they are addicted at birth, then they had no choice and the government can work on detoxic as soon as possible.

It may not seem to be an acceptable solution and is overly harsh, however, coddling of crimminals does not solve the problem.

My political view (although I realize it is a diminishing one in this country) is that of freedom. Freedom to do what I want even if it does not meet with your approval. A person has the right to do what and put whatever in his body. But that freedom has two sides to the coin. The person has a right to become a drug addict and waste his own life, it is when he does harm to others that steps need to be taken and laws enforced. The act of a person getting high at home mainly harms him and whatever family is dragged down by him. it is when the person steals and kills for the drugs or drives a car and kills someone else that that persons life should be forfeit, each and every time it happens. While I do feel sorry for the addicts and think that the ones that do acheive freedom from their addiction deserve praise and help, I have no pity for the people using. But in the end being lawful or not, people are still abusing and doing harm to others.

The war on drugs has been against the suppliersnot the users. The users are being considered victims.

Issue a proclimation that no more illegal drug user will be tolerated.

Any more drugs that can be had after that point will be contaiminated (via goverment blessing).

That will remove the incentive for drug use by the casual user and get rid of the hard-core users that are a drain on society.

People will not know if their pusher is providing clean or dirty drugs until to late.

Good to know you advocate killing people. Sounds like such a bright republican christian idea.
Who the fvck are you to decide that other people don't deserve to live you fvcking a$$hole?

No one is saying that they do not deserve to live.
Just that it is easier to remove the demand than the supply.

Find a way to destroy the demand and the problem that illegal drugs create becomes solved.


When people know that there will be serious consequences to their actions; they will re-evaluate.

They got into illegal drugs because it was cool and/or an escape; very few had it forced on them.

Now they become made aware of the consequences of their use. The government can provide de-toxic clinics for those that want to use them and a method for those that wish to continue down the killing path to expedite that choice.

The use of illegal drugs is not benifical to society; why should society suffer the results?

You can?t be serious.


He obviously is, which is scary. Good to see fascism is alive and well in him.

Just because you can't imagine people using drugs for reasons other than being cool or for escaping, it doesn't mean they are not.
A lot of artists use them for creative reasons. American Indians still use them for cultural reasons. etc....

But, hey, you preffer killing all those who don't follow the same way of life as you, just because under the current set of laws, those substances are labeled as drugs. You would have been advocating for poisoning alcohol during the prohibition too, eh?
I mean, hey, if it's a law it must mean it's right. Never heard of a dumb law before in your life.

That has to be the stupidest thing I have heard in a while. Contaminating the drugs? Do you have any idea how many people that would effect? Do you even have a clue how many people use illegal drugs recreationally? Do you think everyone that uses drugs are junkies?

If it is recreational, then one can stop. they chose to participate in an current illegal activity.

Many claim that it is recreational, however, they can not or unwilling to stop.

If one can not stop, then it becomes an addiction and should be treated.

Any other solutions on getting illegal drugs off the street and preventing the damage that they do to society and people?

That is fvcking stupid again. I contend that stupidity and organized religion have been much more harmfull to human society throughout our history. Let's make those illegal first.

Like I said before, just because something is written in a law at this given point in time, it doesn't mean the law is right.

Drugs should be all legal and regulated the same way as the currently regulated available drugs (alcohol, tabaco) are.

But hey, long live fascism, and let's kill all drug users.

When they start making EVERYONE, all the politicians, CEO's, EVERYONE pee in a bottle, maybe we can have a disccusion on what can be done about illegal drugs.
