You know what drug kills the most people every year? Nicotine, and it's legal! Let's make all the drugs legal!

Hooker - 2012-09-04 I agree with the idea of legalizing pretty much every drug, but he built a massive contradiction right into what he was saying that I hadn't thought about before. How much worse would crack be if advertising agencies could work on promoting it?

Old_Zircon - 2012-09-04 Still not as bad as, say, big macs.

I'm tired of this issue ALWAYS being laid out in such stark terms. If you want to legalize heroin, that's a valid point of view, and better than what we're doing, but legalization is not the only alternative to an expensive, life-destroying, counter-productive "war on drugs". We could put more resources into treatment, eliminate draconian penalties for making a phone call, stop shooting down planes with families in them. Without the political will, even a good idea becomes a strawman to be used against making any changes at all.
