If you think humans are capable of handling heroin in a responsible manner you're a retard. Comparing the two is even more retarded. You may find this really hard to be believe but Alcohol can be used responsibly. Millions of people do it. It's also very dangerous and certainly not good for society /thread.

irv Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Not saying one way or another if legalizing all is a good idea but it seems to have worked for Portugal. Likely a lot more to it than just stating OK, today all drugs are legal. https://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/portugal-heroin-decriminalization/ https://time.com/longform/portugal-drug-use-decriminalization/ https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/05/portugals-radical-drugs-policy-is-working-why-hasnt-the-world-copied-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can honestly say that you don't think if it's easier to get and more available that more kids wouldn't try it? Seriously? Do you think any kid can get it anywhere right now?

SSFB Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I read this last week. Trump comments from back in 1990. Quote Billionaire New York developer Donald Trump says that legalizing drugs is the only way to win the war against what he considers one of America`s most serious problems. Trump blamed the country`s drug problems on politicians who ''don`t have any guts'' and enforcement efforts that are ''a joke.'' ''We`re losing badly the war on drugs,'' Trump told 700 people at a luncheon Friday. ''You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars.'' Trump said tax revenues from a legalized drug trade could be spent to educate the public on the dangers of drug use. In an interview, Trump said he believed it was an appropriate time to broach his ideas ''because South Florida has such a huge problem with drugs.'' https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1990-04-15-9001310473-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legalization is a better way to control usage among minors than drug prohibition is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think everyone who uses drugs is an addict? I don't think you've actually been out in the world much lol You want to talk about addicts by the definition or addict in my opinion? But no certainly not everybody that does any drug anytime is an addict. Do you really believe that someone on heroin is going to be a responsible member of society?

Have you actually ever thought about what legal heroin would be like? Are you really dumb enough to believe that's good for society?

How many kids do you know who’ve overdosed and died in the past 5 years? I can think of at least a half dozen kids or parents of kids that I know. Its impacting the national life expectancy tables ffs, and I’ve heard that from insurance company execs. American doctors prescribe more opioids than anyone else in the world. They are the ones getting people hooked - legally. Look there as to why all these kids you know are on heroin.
