Prisons are full of drug addicts with bad backs, that has never stopped anyone from getting convicted of a crime. The man doctor shops and has drugs coming to him from the streets. He is a criminal and no better then anyone else. His thought process is obviously tainted from his drug addiction as well. The mans theories are crazy fascism thoughts that should be censored. I was in a College Psych class and we used Rush as an example, and the conscientious was he is mentally ill.

Legalizing would actually in a sense deter alot of the drug problems facing society today.  If the government legalized and regulated drugs, then it would drive out a lot of the black market competition.  Drugs wouldnt be cut with dangerous fillers, a huge revenue would be opened up to the gov., and also the amount given to users would be regulated much like any other prescription. The gov. has spent a ludicrious amount of money fighting the drug war and drug abuse is still rampant. If the government actually regulated it, all of the drug traffiking problems would go away. However society has been taught that this scenario could never work. Yet look at Amsterdam which legalized many drugs much the same way as I described above. And they have some very very low crime rates. Over there drug use, prostitution, and drug sales is all regulated by the gov.

no. You are causing more problems by selling drugs, and the people you sell them to, will need your charity too. You need to do something healthy, cure a problem rather than cause one.

I sure do think that America is over medicated.  I mean come on, a pill for restless legs!  It seems when someone sneezes there are 100 people ready to hand out drugs that are sometimes addictive and usually have horrible side effects (either on the body or mind).

because society is destroyed

And prescritpion drugs aren't harmful? That's why the drug makers have to announce all side effects of a new drug. Putting anything in your body that was not there in the first place is harmful. But it's not about that.... It's about money!! The government is making billions off of lobbyists, kickbacks and exorbitant costs to consumers. The drug war is a profit machine.

I agree wholeheartedly, but for some reason, many people, especially people in legislatures, think that drugs are the worst thing ever. I think it's absolutely absurd that someone who actually killed someone could theoretically get less time than most people do for dealing drugs.

Some people do need the medication, but drugs as a whole are overprescibed in this country.  It has to do with society as a whole.  We have all been trained that this is what you do.  Even commercials today tout the benefits of various drugs and tell you to go to your doctor and ask about them.

Some people don't like their lifestyles, I guess. It bothers them that people who get as much booze, money, sex, and drugs are adored by millions.

Racial profiling is the *reason* for the war on the drugs.

Drug users are nothing but trash anyways. They should all be locked up and kept away from others. All they do is ruin other people's lives.

I'm a conservative, and I don't care what anyone else does.  Not at all.  I think we all have to make our own choices and live our own lives.  What bothers me, though, is when all the people who choose to live self-destructive lifestyles - embracing drugs, excessive alcohol, etc. - expect society to bail them out of the messes they get themselves into.  We ALL need to take responsibility for our own actions.

Both are losers and a BIG waste of time, money, lives etc. Though many here want to "address it" with much passion, sometimes logic has to take the forefront. If you find yourself standing in a fire ant hill. Stopping harder because you figure eventually the hill will run out of ants rather than concluding no matter how hard you stomp, you will NEVER get them all, and just get the holy s*** bit out of you is ludercious.\n\nThe war on drugs. I want to laugh everytime I say that phrase. There is no war on drugs, just a scrimach against SOME drugs. But the US is a chemical nation. Want to lose weight, take a pill. Want to stop your kids from acting like kids, give them a pill. Moody? Take a pill. You can not have a party that is work a salt unless you have at least alcohol. Then when you figure in pharm(pharmasutical)parties made possible by the parents being hooked on every perscription drug imaginable. The media does no better than to dicourage it. We make lovable likeable charaters of Authur(a drunk), Mr Buttermaker(drunk baseball coach)Cheech and Chong(pot heads), the list goes on. The government could not stop Prohibition, and they won't stop drugs. They might as well legalize it so they can pay for the losing war on terror.\n\nWar on Terrorism. Interesting moniker, don't you think? \n\ntr·ror·ism (tµr“…-r¹z”…m) n. The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.\n\nLets see. That would include sneaking onto a ship(disguised as Native Americans to boot)snatching the Crown's tea and tossing it into the harbor. But THESE TERRORIST were called PATRIOTS. My how the truth shifts when it favors the one telling the history. This so-called war on terror is a failure because no one is on the same page. The US say the insurgance in Iraq or Al Qaeda are terrorist, they say the same of the US. Back in WWII under the foot of Jim Crow Black soldiers were sent into the meat grinder of the German's Gothic Line in Northern Italy. It was thought impenetrable. ONLY the Black plattons etc were sent against it because it was a no-win mission, a death assignment. But then Lt Vernon Baker was sent with his men. As the shells started falling the White Captain(in charge of them) deserted, taking the radio WITH HIM. They had no choice but to fight on. They couldn't call in for help. They ran across the German communication lines and cut them. They then made it up the hill, taking out several machine gun nest and artillery batteries. When he was asked why he fought so hard for a country and a government that would have strung him from a tree for looking at a White woman "the wrong way", he said THIS(the USA)was the only country he had(in spite of how bad it was)and someone else was trying to control it, and he could not allow that to happen. So, I do not see it as inconceivable(as those in denial and the addle minded) that there are thousands if not tens of thousands of Vernon Bakers in the Middle East. Who feel their governmenr maybe crappy BUT IT IS THERE ONLY COUNTRY AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE SOME FOREIGNERS CONTROLLING IT. As Gandhi said while resting the British: "It is better to have one's own bad government as oppose to someone else's good government." They are the home team with way more to lose. They are not going to quit, they have no place else to go.

Drugs are more powerful and could be used to self medicate If people wanted to.That would NEVER happen because the pharmaceutical company's would not let it.Its all about MONEY,Good Luck to you,"The smoker you drink" Take care!Alcohol is responsible for 50% of every thing considered negative in this country.And nearly 60% of the murders,and traffic deaths.Drugs don`t even come close to the destruction caused by booze!

A. Drug users need money, usually don't work (or can't, many employers won't hire a drug user) so they have to steal.\nB. Drugs make people do things they would normally wouldn't do, and make them more violent, so they could start a fight over nothing.\nC. Selling, buying and using drugs is illegal so it is a crime in it's self.
