Picked a random article, but this seems like a good summary.

 

So... is it a good idea?

Yes.

I have to say I recently got picked a copy of a very similar article recently to look at. It seemed to go under the radar at the time. I agree it's a good idea. Needs to go further, in my opinion, with addicts everywhere given totally free access to their drug of choice. The addicts probably get shafted under my plan, but they stop committing crime, and their criminal 'bosses' lose 80% of their revenue. Then we cut funding to our enemies worldwide, and countries like Mexcio, Brazil, Afghanistan and Colombia get a much needed break in their struggle against corruption and criminal violence.

Yeah, right, more addict scumbags, how could someone be against that?

If they don't have to steal your **** to support their habit who cares what they do.

I do. Because I don't want to be bothered by drug addicts on the open streets, bars and wherever else.

 

How decadent must you be to allow legalizing hard drugs? Come on.... Why not legalizing guns to kids? Who cares huh?

I don't remember drug addicts on the streets/in bars/wherever.

...Because banning them means no drug addicts, doesn't it?

I recently read about it in the newspaper, so I assume the "issue" is still relevant.

 

Sounds like a good(ish) idea to me. Sure, it gets rid of the drug lords but at some point you have to limit drugs like these.

The point at which I changed my mind was when a friend's father, who worked in the prison service pionted out that we can't stop people in maximum security prisons from getting drugs. What hope do we have of stopping regular people from getting them? They're too small, too easy to hide, and too valuable (so long as they are illlegal). For christ's sake, a hit of heroin now costs less than a pint of beer!

Ah Wals, Queen love you, but youre a nut. How do you think these "free drugs" are paid for? Ill tell you, by the law abiding taxpayers. I know youve never seen a social problem that cant be cured by throwing all laws out the window and having the general citizenry shoulder the load, but me paying for your (not you) drug addiction is not the answer.

drugs are only expensive because they are illegal

Sure, but besides the physical cost where do you draw the line? Why does every social addiction have to become the problem of the citizens? Why not give all alcoholics free booze?

Think how many losers would be inclined to take advantage of this? This could easily escalate into a huge healthcare problem.

Yes, it's very cheap to give people free drugs. You realize now you have to provide total support for a completely dysfunctional human being, who can't hold a job or function in society. Drugs used to be legal, they were doing so much damage they had to be criminalized.

Hello, go take a look all those dysfunctional people and horrible drug addicts in Holland.

 

It's a disaster, oh wait...

Look at alcohol, perfectly harmless and legal.

That's women for you...

Pure heroine or coke is a lot less dangerous long term than street stuff laced with who knows what, but sure yes, there are health implications. It's the balance sheet you have to consider, making drug lords and terrorists have to go look for real jobs, freeing up immeasurable police resources to go after real crimes.

Legal drugs -> more addicts -> more crime from addicts trying to support themselves

You don't know that. Besides I thought you Americans were in love with the concept of freedom. That's what this is.

Say no to freedom of stupidity.

 

Say no to free drugs.

 

 

Goddamn I don't get some of you nutters.

Freedom is not the same thing as anarchy. A society must regulate itself in some ways, freedom isn't possible among chaos.

Freeing drugs won't produce anarchy.
