IF DRUGS ARE SO BAD FOR US SHOULDN'T THE RESULT OF DOING THEM BE PUNISHMENT ENOUGH?


[+] ballot by RobinGaylord
created Sat Sep 04, 04

If the government is trying to convince us that drugs are bad and that if we do them it will destroy our lives, then why is using drugs illegal. I know that if I drank to the point were I would become an alcoholic that I may lose my job and all my friends, I value them and I wouldn’t risk it for the momentary joy of getting drunk. I am old enough to assess the risk and make that decision and the government acknowledges that, so why can’t they categorically say the same thing about crack or heroin. If they are so much worse for me then I’ll stay away from them. I think the government is underestimating the will power of its citizens. If they legalized all drugs tomorrow and we all became addicts then we would have no one to blame but ourselves. But I know that wouldn’t happen because drugs have been legal since the beginning of time and they only outlawed it about 60 years ago. What do you think? If drugs are so bad for us shouldn't the result of doing them be punishment enough?

Yes
No

COMMENTS:
The point is that drugs change your perception of whats good and bad. So an alcoholic generally wouldnt realise quite what a state he was in, or would be in severe denial about it

Having said that i LOVE a big phat cone full of sticky icky and a gin and tonic (or 12) when i get the chance.

Pot and Pain killers should be legal, but the rest should remain on the illegal list.

jumping out of a window is bad for you too, but hopefully you will stop before it's too late

lowerclassbrats - Pain killers are made from opium the same as heroin. If they legalize painkillers then shouldn't heroin be categorically declassified as a schedule one controlled substance?

I meant be declassified FROM a schedule 1 controlled substance.
by RobinGaylord on Fri Sep 10, 04 3:28pm [+]

What I meant was legalize all the ones I use.

Has anyone noticed that it is the drugs of the poor which are illegal (pot, heroin, cocaine, speed, et al)? The wealthy have their drugs prescribed by their doctors.

Seems to me that drug policy is set up principally to regulate the lives of the poor, and to keep drugs not manufactured by the big pharmaceutical companies off the market.

I know, I know: Drugs are bad; just say no, etc. There is just so much contradictory, silly, and just downright absurd drug policy in America that it makes me want to smoke several bowls.

Perhaps the greatest downside for the governmentt in all this is that feeling good makes a lot of folks not feel like working.

As to your question, if we legalized drugs and treated abuse, like we do with alcohol, well, how would we employ all the prison guards who would be out of work?

Thanks for your interesting ballot.
