I see a place for it

last of those political tests I took I ended up around here

do you support legalizing certain drugs?

ahh

tbh I support legalizing all drugs with a means of oversight regulating them to make them safer for people to use, and if possible setting up something from our past like shamans or safe places for people to try them

Black markets help nobody, they harm millions of lives either directly or indirectly

People are going to do things if they want to do them, and we should have systems in place to allow people to do them safely

Ruining lives because someone has some mushrooms in a bag, or because someone tested positive for a plant is absurdity

i wouldnt support it but not because it has track records of black markets rising or one person dies from drugs and everyone is to blame kinda stuff

I just support regulation like raising age to smoke or drink but with a penalty like if searching for a job youd have to list that you smoke or drink since jobs would want a more clean person but they could still be eligible

I can understand that point, but from a personal liberty viewpoint Ive done plenty of drugs in the past, harmed no one, used responsibly and I see it as a benefit to people

Black markets exists because people feed them

Legalizing won't make it better

Just look at what's happening in the Netherlands

They became a narcostate

The weed black market still exists yes, have a friend who is working in it

But its minimalized and the decriminalization aspect allows for support programs that couldnt exist otherwise

Kids drink alcohol and smoke cigs anyway, they find ways to do it

but lifting stigmas and offering support is the key bit

People kill anyways, let's legalize murder

And your friend is a drug dealer

A criminal

he sure is

So better care for the people you are friends with

I again disagree, personal liberty

No one has the personal liberty to commit a crime

If we allow alcohol and tobacco to be legal, then we must acknowledge other compounds people have been using for thousands of years

my limit is no abolishment of drugs but rather offer big funds for reform programs like drug abuse victims

> No one has the personal liberty to commit a crime

***If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.***

@DangerErin I can support that

That's beautiful and everything, but laws exist for a reason

Otherwise, whether a law is unjust or not is just the opinion of that person

What makes you believe you're right about drug laws being unjust but a pedophile that think laws against CP ain't?

Depends on the laws tbh, many have roots in issues, others are based purely in emotion not in logic

The drug war has not been a success, its been a colossal waste of funds, when it should be targeting those who truly violate federal law and harm people, and putting in systems to support users and making it safe for people

instead it punishes everyone and costs everyone

Again, it doesn't work because there's always people like you and your friend fueling it

The legalization of marijuana has shown that lax laws and decriminalization allow funding of proper support systems

Libertarians love to claim the drug war doesn't work, while pumping those criminals with money

Even if you support legalization, the very least you could do is to not fuel crime by buying illegal drugs

If you think we should ban something like pot, then you must claim we ban something like alcohol or tobacco

We have decades of evidence showing the detrimental effects of both of them, and the decades of research into marijuana show far less side effects

I do lmao

Then thats fine
