Something to think about for the 'legalize all drugs' crowd (Ron Paul, solution)

Prohibition has been proven to not work with alcohol, and it is obviously not working with cannabis. How then can it possibly work with the really bad stuff?

So you want to get rid of all laws like the prohibition of murder, robbery, assault, etc.?

Alcohol will make you do that really easily. :-)

There's no law prohibiting murder, robbery and assault.

Frankly I think we should legalize all drugs; however, drug abusers should not be entitled to free medical care, unemployment or welfare.

I dont buy this. That would be like saying end the war on cigarettes and no one will seek weed..

Clearly that thought process isnt correct.

Thanks OP, now I can "think about" some dude having sex with a tree for the rest the day.

stuff like the above is so dangerous that I can't see any justification for it every being legal.
pot, sure. maybe even LSD. but krokodil, meth, bath salts, flakka?

Bath salts in themselves are not illegal. Meth is made with toxic household items, which also
by themselves are not illegal.

They did some analysis on hospital care in my area. The top users, who accumulated millions of dollars unpaid medical bills per person, were all dirt poor drug addicts. They were in and out of hospitals like there's no tomorrow.
