So, in Tim's thread where he's discussing Presidents, the war on drugs became a small side topic.
One poster equated the continued progression of the War on Drugs as "criminal" by the various Presidential candidates. I commented that essentially I thought this was a BS concept because of the complexity of the drug problem and that legalization/decriminalization wasn't some magic fix all.
And I'm not talking about pot either. Honestly, I've come around that we'd be better off with marijuana being legal throughout the US. However, the hard drugs like heroine and meth cannot be legal, IMO. Their results from recreational use are too damaging.
After my post, fatguyinalittlecoat simply replied that I was wrong, but that he didn't want to hijack Tim's thread. So out of respect for that, I'm starting this thread.
My main question is, why would the legalization/decriminalization of hard drugs be better? What is the thinking there?
I'll hang up and listen. TIA, will answer yours, gllll peas.
