Poll: Are you for the Drug War?

Question by Sara: Poll: Are you for the Drug War?
i think people that are, are because they are under the false impression that making drugs illegal will make people not do them. Two europeans visited my high school a while ago and told us (and to my question) they don’t get drunk with their friends, that’s not something that people do in europe, because they grew up with it being legal and it wasn’t a big deal.

Now my opinion on people voting for the drug war is not just unintelligent but is criminal, there are billions of dollars uselessly being spent on trying to tell people what they can do with their own bodies, that could be spent on rehabilitation or any number of things… anything!

and this is aside from the fact that a true democracy government should have no right to tell its people what they can and can’t put into their bodies. by this logic fast food, alcohol, and tobacco should be illegal.
Marshal > please enlighten me… the government’s stance on it is don’t do it.. and it’s not working and it’s wasting a lot of money that could be used on better things.
Just plain > the ban on crack hasn’t stopped anyone from doing crack, it has made drug dealers rich, and bankrupted America. can you give me a better reason why crack shouldn’t be legal than a 5 year old’s response to losing an argument?
Just plain > oh and by the way, i never said drugs suck or not, i just take a more intelligent stance on it by learning about it, rather than accepting things that are already legal. alcohol used to be illegal, it’s legal now… think about it rather than slinging mud balls.
Marshal > it’s people like you that cost this country billions of dollars in lost tax revenue, and the only thing i could think of that could be more complex than that, is that the lost tax revenue would thwart our ability to continue aggressive foreign policy. you sir, are a mental idiot.
it’s a tyrannical approach to a medical problem… drugs are not a moral issue.
Drug dealers would thrive more, you would have Pharmacies buying it from illegal sources and selling it legally And you still have your local crackheads getting it under the table.

That’s wrong for the same reason alcoholics get their alcohol from the market just like everyone else, not underground. There is no underground alcohol because it’s legal.

When things are made legal farmers grow large amounts of them and the price goes down a lot (simple economics). No one sells alcohol “illegally” because there is no money in it.

And why in the world would a pharmacy buy it from an illegal source? Pharmacys don’t buy alcohol from illegal sources, and aside from that, that conviction is completely from left field.
