If we got the major dealers, drug amounts would go down.


Because that strategy has worked, right? That vacuum of billions of dollars of business never gets filled by somebody else, right?

Why does this sound more like a racial devide issue than a drug issue?


Crack sentencing has been a racial issue, as has the majority of the policies implemented by the war on drugs.

If it were simply about "drugs", it would be more of a health and rehab issue than a criminal issue, no?

I'm sorry you have had a loved one become an addict, but addiction should be treated, not incarcerated.



Have you read any of my posts? I never said addiction should be a crime. I explicitly stated that using and possession shouldn't be a crime. Dealing should have harsh sentences.

Well, I'm not sure how you obtain drugs without purchasing them from someone who sells.

If you know of a way, I'm all ears.

Exactly. Drugs are bad. I don't want them around. However I don't think we should prosecute users. You can't get hooked if you don't ever start though. I think we can bring the number of addicts down.

Ever heard of crystal meth? The precursors are not purchased as "drugs".

I was too stoned on meth to notice, until twelve hours later, that my son was deathly ill. But then I was so stoned it took me two hours to figure out how to get him to the hospital five miles away. By the time I got to the emergency room my boy was pronounced dead of a lethal dose of ammonia hydroxide—one of the chemicals used to make meth.” —Melanie

Let's make it all legal. No way this woman should be in jail, right? Hell, it's just a 3 year old.....

Unless he is talking about just federal prisoners, he needs to stay the hell out of any state's business as to state crimes and state sentencing guidelines. Yeah - it's out of whack but the states need to clean this up; not told how to by the federal govt.

I can grow it in my Back yard. Clearly, that should be legal.
