[QUOTE="stevie_d, post: 1818808, member: 19169"] Not a theory.. they'be been caught doing it. Also.. we are funding the drug wars by demonizing drugs in our country. Should people get hooked on drugs? No. But should people be expected to have the self-control themselves for the most part, and have government step aside? YES. If drugs were legalized, MOST people, enough to make it work, know better than to do anything that is majorly harmful to themselves or others, and without them being illegal, drug wars die. Our "War On Drugs" is what fuels drug violence - by driving availability down so much, we drive up the profitability for everyone selling. Our government is not naive, they know they are doing this - they expect US to remain naive and think we are doing the right thing by making drugs illegal. To be clear, I'm not some pot-loving hippie who wants to legalize everything because *I* use drugs - I don't, not any of them. But, in my opinion, the lives of thousands lost in drug wars is not a fair cost to help the government "keep us safe from ourselves and our temptations". [/QUOTE]
