@the-pickled-walrus saidA while back someone posted to just go back to the 50's or some such, keep it simple. How bout apply that reasoning to drugs? What has changed that dictates that we should change the availability of drugs?
Pot yes...the rest no.
Why do liberal people always want to change things? They even want to change the Constitution . Everyone should maybe take a breath.
@the-pickled-walrus saidAnd destroy America's #1 cash crop by legalizing it and taxing and regulating it?
Pot yes...the rest no.
Don't think so. What would Americans do for money then?

@the-pickled-walrus saidQuick answer......it was he same all the time. Drugs had the same effect on society every day, they were managed to protect the citizens, and nothing changed in regard to that, day after day for thousands of days. What happened?
So what was it like in the 50's in regard to drugs?
Edit: Did liberals happen? Is that it?

@averagejoe1 saidDrugs kill far more people than guns, yet Leftists are obsessed with legalizing drugs and restricting guns.

And when asked why drugs should be legalized, they say that people will do it anyway and our jails are too full by continuing to lock these people up, but when asked about guns it is the opposite attitude of government having the power and might and jail space to restrict gun users.
And just think, if you fix the illicit drug problem gun violence automatically goes down substantially.
But you have to understand, a lot of their reasoning and ideology is formed when high on various mind altering substances, so their illogic and insanity begins to make more sense.
@averagejoe1 saidDrugs weren't banned until well after the Constitution.

So what is your point?
@whodey saidDrugs are not purchased to kill other people.

Guns are.
The post that was quoted here has been removedI would think that if you made illicit drugs legal, you could not stop there. Why not then make all drugs accessible to the public without medical supervision?
Or does the Left advocate doctors prescribing illicit drugs to make them feel better?

@whodey saidIf you insist on having a list of ‘illicit’ drugs then why arent tobacco and alcohol on that list?

There would be a lot less violence ( gun or otherwise ) without alcohol and we know tobacco is bad for you.
@kevcvs57 saidWhen it comes to US laws and regulations, what comes with it are a whole list of double standards and hypocrisy. Just look around, some people are deemed "essential" and others not. Why? On the basis of what exactly?

As the book "Animal Farm" once said, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
@whodey saidWell I could’ve just as reasonably posed that question to a Brit we’ve got the same double standard when it comes to good drug , bad drug.

I do know from anecdotal evidence that cops over here would like to see cannabis legalised and alcohol banned or controlled much more severely than it is now.
@wolfgang59 saidSo for the record, if I have bought a gun I intend to kill someone
Drugs are not purchased to kill other people.
Guns are.
Do you take any illicit drugs by chance?
And yes, illicit drugs, namely heroin, kills about 150 a day, and alcohol kills more people than all other drugs
