Who else is for all drug legalization? It's a good step that weed, kratom, alcohol are legal. But what about meth, benzos, heroin, lsd, shrooms, dmt, 2cs, any drug that isn't toxic.
I mean it's ridiculous to ban a substance just because it's addictive. Even meth should be legal, if you want to destroy your mind and body on meth you should have the right to.

I'm definitely in support of it since it would literally break the back of the organized crime syndicates. Plus, if the government made the drugs, it would be cheap so people wouldn't have to steal and do other awful things as much to get it. The drugs would also be more pure and less dangerous
The only caveat I have is that people should register as a drug user, which would show up on background checks. And any employment drug test that was positive would automatically register you. So, it would keep addicts from becoming pilots, surgeons, or other jobs that require a high level of responsibility.
Why can't everyone have this level of common sense? Just look at all the people dying from fent, and everyone blaming the doctors for prescribing opioids. I blame the doctors for not continuing to prescribe, resulting in addicts turning to heroin laced with fent. If the doctors continuted to prescribe the people would continue to use and the wouldn't be oding on fent, simply as that. You can play the blame game all day long, but the solution is simple just let them have access to drugs, who cares if they're addicted.
I'm all for reducing harm and the cartels' profits but meth for instance is just pointlessly neurotoxic and tends to induce psychosis and other undesirable sociobehavioral effects; there are much better drugs that fill that stimulant niche and hence why the US is the only country that uses it. maybe scripts for addicts to maintain until they want to quit but putting a bunch of ghetto shit that's only popular because it's cheap and easy to synth is like re-legalizing banned pesticides and harmful industrial materials like asbestos imo. people can be stupid sometimes too when they're stressed out and need an escape, lots of people start smoking but don't really internalize what it will do to them until the damage is done. easy, cheap, effortless access to heroin will fuck shit up good just like alcohol does in impoverished areas. I agree with you philosophically but addiction to hard drugs can really change people. it's classed as a disease for a reason.
If you work at a fast food joint or a grocery store or are paid under $15 an hour, tell me how you live with yourself?
that said, shrooms, dmt, lsd, ketamine all that shit - I'm down for anything that doesn't tend to create fiends. it's crack, meth, heroin, synths and to a lesser extend benzos that really suck, having used all of them and living in an area that has a lot of users.

I’m for it. Then natural selection can take its course.
This.

that's a great way to create an underclass
Honestly, Meth isn't even that bad as long as you don't over do it. Just listened to music, lurked, and jerked!
junkies should be an underclass, they are the lowest scum of the earth
Great! Go smoke some more! Try heroin too.
>that's a great way tocreate an underclass
cool so are you alright with your surgeon or pilot being methhead jim from down the road? no shot it's a class but no less deserved if you weren't forced into the addiction
>that's a great way to create an underclass
That's just one of the benefits. The other is detailed here , increase in public safety.
>t. probably drinks alcohol or smokes something
if you're gonna go with the hurr junkies r all bad bcos movies told me attitude then you may as well not concern yourself with legalization and leave the monkeys to throw their shit around, so to speak.
until they turn to crime to escape poverty. then you have the same drug-poverty association that already exists, only enforced legally rather than economically.
I don't think so. Just because you're not a heart surgeon, doesn't mean you're in poverty. Lots of jobs won't require a background check.
Plus, remember that these drugs are pretty cheap and very pure, administered in a safe place. There's really no need to steal to afford them.
Legalize it, just like brazil did. Not because I want more people to do drugs, because it actually helps drug users. Legalize possession (not selling), and put the money that would be used for rounding people up and housing and feeding them in prison and put it toward free rehabs, clean needles, a pathway to getting clean that doesn't involve prison. The (((prison industrial complex))) doesn't want people to know this is a possibility of course
>Lots of jobs won't require a background check.
just like how drug tests aren't necessary for lower-wage positions? sure, you don't have to steal but when you can't get hired thanks to federally backed employment discrimination it's going to create a ghetto, a cycle of unemployment and marginalization and that usually leads to people being shot over the sneakers they're wearing and a "society vs us" attitude. adding meth or crack to the formula creates an even bigger mess of impulsive decisions to get that nigger status symbol. crackheads will go to war at a moment's notice. your proposal is fucktarded and will lead to mass violence for virtually nothing. address addiction as a disease rather than social symptoms thereof.
I'm not saying this is a panacea for all social ills or that it will stop crime 100%. All I'm saying is that crime will be reduced because people won't need to steal to get high. That's a huge win in my book.
And as for hiring, this new proposal will more than likely take the stigma away from drug use as said by , thereby *reducing* the *already-existing* "ghettoization".
But, yes, people will likely want to still steal shoes even after the legislation. And they'll still drive over the speed limit. And still use curse words and not believe in Jeebus. All this amounts to is a single step in the right direction.
>It's ridiculous to ban a substance for being addictive
Not really. There's a clear public interest in not allowing the commercialization of harmful, highly addictive substances. Our current system is broken and I'm more or less in support for decriminalization, but as the opiate epidemic demonstrated its pretty bad to have mega corporations pushing these things. Some level of regulation seems like common sense.
>> if you want to destroy your mind and body on meth you should have the right to.
This is how a teen thinks. Lemme explain it. There would be the medical costs to everyone else keeping these losers going, and if the drugs still cost the same (because of profit motives, not illegality) then everybody will be stealing from everybody else.
I hope they steal from you first, so you'll get it.
Make it all legal. If people can't handle their shit, then they die. We will be left with responsible people who know how to control themselves. It's a win win.
Opiods are the most addictive and they're legal. Alcohol is highly addictive and legal. Both are incredibly dangerous. Most of our health problems come from shitty food and no one seems to do anything about that.
Drugs are illegal because law enforcement is a HUGE tax sinkhole that makes many politicians and prison owners rich.
Opioids aren't legal. They are at best Schedule 2 and highly regulated. Alcohol is unscheduled and legal for recreational use but regulated. There's also a strong argument that shitty foods is a bigger problem because it's largely unregulated and ubiquitous and that more regulation would discourage use and be a solution to that particular problem.
Throwing people in prison is big business here in 'Merica. I doubt it'd ever happen
Alcohol and weed should be illegal, everything else should be legal
They are not schedule 1, so yes they are legal, just regulated. Pot is still treated as much, much more dangerous than opiods.
You can do this in Frankfurt.
It's not that simple. Some people trap others into their lives and then start doing hard shit way later, making it so their loved ones can't leave without major harm. If you're reading this and you smoke meth, I know someone like you and you're scum.
Meth is awesome you little crybaby bitch
Not if you have OCD/ADD
Never again
At least I still have the part of my brain responsible for crying
