The solution is to not waste 1 cent of tax payer money trying get them to understand that drugs are bad. In other words put them and the dealers down.
Really? Put them down for using a drug, I asume to include the drug alcohol in that scenerio. So if your daughter or son were to use a drug they should be "put down" hmmmmm, not a Christain I take it.
Wow I said all that? Let look at my post.
No never talked about gov waste. In fact I have in other posts. I am hard core against ear marks and pork spending of any kind.
Prisons. Had a chance to be a guard and turned down that civil service job. If I had my way we would put down all violent criminals like the rabid dogs that they are.
Drug users and dealers often one and the same. As malamute said if they can't pay for their own drug rehab then let nature take its course. If the cops catch you buying it should be a bus ride to the nearest vet to put you down.
War on drugs = huge government waste, but that's ok in your eyes
Since when is the war on drugs letting nature take it's course??? Nature taking it's course would be to de-criminalize drugs, which is what the thread is about, but it's clear you are against it, all in the name of liberty!!!!
Partly because many Americans support the war on drugs
I call these Americans freedom loving libertarians.
Most libertarians don't support the war on drugs. I'm more or less a libertarian, and I certainly don't support it. I'd rather try to find a way to help an addict, than lock them up, and give them a permanent record. Obviously we can't save everyone, and it takes some effort from the user, but still, I'm willing to try. Now if you rob, cheat, or assault someone to get your fix, then I'm all for incarceration, because now it becomes violent in nature.

Casper. I'm curious? Weren't you in LE? If so, how did you handle someone when you found weed on them?
I honestly think a big part of the problem is that we tell kids that the biggest, most popular drug of all, marijuana, is a horrible toxin that will turn you into a mouthbreathing knuckledragging moron. Then eventually lil' Johnny Punk gets some from his brother, smokes it, realizes it just makes you a little silly for a few hours, and then starts questioning how dangerous weed and other drugs really are.
Hell my parents always told me weed will make you a borderline retard. I've smoked it maybe 5 times... still getting great grades in college. One of my roommates used to smoke it a lot and she got great grades as a biochemistry major and now works for the feds.
Meth, heroin, crack? Awful ****, stay away from it. Cocaine? Pretty terrible but in all honesty it's not as bad as those three. Weed? Safer than alcohol. Start teaching kids the truth.
I sincerely believe that the War on Drugs is one of the absolute worst things that has ever happened to this country.
I had to rep you on this one. You're absolutely right. The propaganda against marijuana is ludicrous at best! The other s*** that you mentioned, can and will in fact kill you!
Its about time the Obama administration does something I can support. Lets see how long it takes before they propose legislation. Anyone want to bet they dont?

Arent you one of the biggest critics of Rush because he used a drug?
