Agree in principle. But we live in an entitlement society so we have to pay for the consequences of these people’s free will.

No legalization until consequences arent paid for freely

That will never happen so no legalization.

In general I agree with this, but rarely does one’s actions have absolutely no effect on others.

For example, if you say “I should be able to drive without a seatbelt - my body, my choice”. It sounds great. But if you get into an accident and your body gets thrown 50 yards down the highway, the burden to clean you and your organs off the road fall to someone else - someone else who has to go home after work and try not to think of those images.

Legalizing all drugs doesn’t = ‘high school kids shooting up heroin’

While I generally agree I dont think many people are thinking of the medical costs of rampant drug use. You really think people will just let people die regardless of their choices?

How high would insurance premiums be if you said you used heroin regularly?


There's no way legalizing hard drugs on a grand scale doesn't bite society in the arse.

Including killing innocents in auto crashes when high. Crapping in streets and on your neighborhood sidewalk and throwing himself down on interstates creating chaos. Blocking your entry and exit to you work, home and restaurants. Gagging themselves to throw up @ your table and pizzing within feet of your children and splashing you and your family. All of which the drug induced and left wing psycho's are doing currently with their bodies.
