drug use is everyone's right. who cares if other people are using drugs?
Well drug users become drug addicts. Drug addicts steal to support their habit. Users drive while impaired and cause accidents. They have overdoses and use medical and police services which may be needed for non drug related emergencies. They engage in a myriad of high risk behaviors that can harm innocent bystanders (ie: accidental fires, contagious diseases)They cause pain and suffering for their families and can endanger children in the home. They don’t pay their rent and other bills cause financial harm to their landlords and other creditors.
They enter drug treatment programs which are expensive, whether public or private funded, and have a low recovery rate.
I just don’t believe you don’t care if your wife or children use drugs like cocaine? How about their babysitters or your doctor, bus driver or contractor? I think you try to be a contrarian just for the fun of it

this is some of the most ridiculous drivel ive ever read. its amazing how prohibition has bred such insane levels of ignorance. "drug users are the devil!" "drug users steal and dont pay their rent!" what a bunch of crap.
drug users here in monmouth county never bothered me. i couldnt care less if they do all the drugs that they want. if there are negative consequences, that is for them to deal with. if they commit crimes, then they should be punished accordingly.
I must have missed that part in the Constitution .

Check the 9th amendment
The question is, where does the Constitution give the government get the right to prohibit drugs? Remember when the government prohibited alcohol consumption, they passed an amendment to the Constitution to do so because they knew that the government didn't have the right to do it.
So by US law drug prohibition isn't the government's right. However, even without the Constitutions support, it's still our right. It's a natural right and it's the same everywhere on earth.

oh, someone doesnt like the 9th amendment. i think retriver recently used that in a goofy manner saying something long "duh is it your right to walk around infecting people with coronavirus duuhh."
its pathetic to see people just looking to give away their rights to the government and making the silly claim that rights not listed in the constitution explicitly arent our rights. not only is that wrong but it actually says you are wrong right there in the constitution you think you are using to defend your silly position:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
You can find a plethora or different drugs basically anywhere, but Ocean county has more of a problem with drugs than Monmouth
