Also all caps? Real classy Donald
there are no valid arguments for criminalizing drug use
or for keeping weed illegal
well
if a drug user
comes and sit down on ur door step all day long
shooting it up and going crazy
no drugs make you "go crazy" that is media propaganda
its simply not true
im sure u would be so happy to wrap his vein tighter so he can shoot some more
That's a problem with trespassing
I don't need weed nor alcohol to have a fun time but every now and then it enhances the experience
Tell them to fuck off
none of the common street drugs cause psychosis in individuals with no prior history of mental illness
And if they don't
Make them
Weed I personally do not care for, but I neither am angry enough about it nor do I have enough evidence to support criminalizing it, so legalize away
Fentanyl will kill you before you crazy though
I want all lsd and friends to be legal
@Hotzendorf See, the issue with things like that is that the drug use is just a small part of the bad person that is on your doorstep
Vancouver has a huge fentanyl problem
first of all being pro-alcohol anti-weed is a hypocritical stance since weed is objectively safer and has a far lower societal cost
Also trespassing charges tend to just make people angry and hold a grudge
It's not worth calling the cops on your methhead neighbor when they'll tell him to not do that and leave and he'll be right back with his inbred family in 10 minutes
I mean just legalize it and tax the fuck out of it
keep in mind that the actual net loss in productivity etc from drugs is usually negligible, its a few million per year compared to multi billion dollar industries
Ok, add in medical costs
From diseases, accidents, etc
Industries that are above ground and provide jobs etc
What diseases
90-95% of all information you've ever recieved from the media on the topic of drugs is factually untrue
Sharing needles and shit, as well as addiction treatment, if you count that as a disease
drugs are bad
M'kay
to this day they regularly repeat the same lies they already know are wrong from the 60's
Dude that's hardly making a dent in the stats
and they will fuck up your life
And Vancouver actually has safe houses for clean needles
So don't do em
