I get the arguments, and agree to a point - but the addicitveness is a real dealbreaker w/ me. I don't want kids or anyone exposed to that on a legal level.

Then you make it like tobacco/alcohol and limit it to 18/21. I guess my problem with it is being illegal it increases the violence associated with the drugs, but it doesn't stop anyone from figuring out how to buy it illegally.

Also, I think the war on meth in particular is much more "fightable" than the war on other drugs, because it is mainly domestic.

Perhaps, but I am not aware of any success in limiting or reducing usage based on the war. That said, I don't keep up on the effectiveness of the 'war' on individual drugs so much as on the whole.

Last, it just isn't a winnable argument. As we've seen, the majority in this country is starting to tilt toward pot legalization, and there are good reasons for that. Most have at least tried pot, understand the nature of the drug and see it as "relatively" harmless. Meth, by comparison, shouts from the rooftops why it is illegal and should remain so w/ every destroyed life it touches.

On that I agree. It is not something I expect to see changed anytime soon.

They have seen through the facade. They have denied glossy eyed pot heads from getting what they really want: lots and lots of weed. I am for keeping our cities lawful and safe. You are not.

So legalizing pot is not lawful, or pot being legal is not lawful?

How much lawlessness is going on in CO?

Should we legalize meth labs too? I mean, as long as they keep it for in home use?

It's a very marxist, big government, anti-liberty act to take away the right of people to consume anything they want.

How much money are you getting to take the position that you are.

People who want to take others money, against their will, to put people through the legal system, shouldn't complain about big government and losing their liberties.

You're trading liberty for security, and you deserve neither, and have lost both.
 
Placing people in jail for dope, is no different than believing you should return a slave to their slave master, or making it a crime to be a jew.

Why? Why in the hell would we maintain prohibition when prohibition simply leads to more violent crimes than would otherwise occur?

Why should we jail people for using something that is less harmful (and in some cases actually medically beneficial) than alcohol?

Why do you want to take our money to pay for jailing these people?

Let me play devil's advocate.
Why should people who drink and drive, get arrested and jailed?

I can witness to oth of these. Marijuana was an absolute blessing, I had severe side effects from the anti nausea education my oncologist prescribed.

I also use it to sleep.

My oncologist prescribed Effexor because I was having severe mood swings and hot flashes, chemo threw in into menapause overdrive. I hated the Effexor and its side effects, I used marijuania to help ease myself off Effexor, you cant't quit cold turkey because you have withdrawal symptoms. I learned this the hard way by forgetting my medication at home on a trip to fish! It was horrible!

I am very pro medical marijuana.

It's pretty amazing. All of that plus you can use it to de-stress. Why would anyone take Xanax which is addictive? I also believe it could be used to help with low sex drives instead of drugs. I know some people get really hungry when they smoke but that's not the first urge that hits me, lol.
