What you just said is racist. And probably misogynistic and homophobic. You're probably a closeted Islamaphobe for saying it. You need sensitivity training and have to pay a reparation fee for your white privilege and membership in the patriarchy.
Oh, crap, what I just said was Mansplaining wasn't it? lol
Well, at least they haven't banned Manspreading like they have in Madrid: Madrid bans 'manspreading' on buses
Oh crap, never mind: Boston transit ads seek to kick manspreading to the curb

It sounds insane on its face but I think the Netherlands did it and results are a lot less awful than I would have thought. What they should really do is test this out for a few years with a mandated expiry on it and then have to revote in 3 years else the illegality comes into effect, then we can at least see how it is and evaluate impact.

If someone want to ingest a substance that will eventually kill them and they know that it may eventually kill them then let them have it for free with no legal repercussions. Yes I know it's cold hearted and have lost acquaintances to drug addiction so I know first hand you can't help anyone unless they want to get help for themselves first.
I second this.

Heres my problem it does not only effect them. Some one strung out driving a car kills my kid or your kid you'll think differently. The cost to society now is astronomical and will not be reduced much if made legal. Heroin addicts OD hourly now. Imagine if it's legal. I don't like it and I'll never agree to it. Welcome to the forums and I'm not beating up on you because your new. I understand your point. If it's free at least they won't try to rob to get it, but then my tax dollars are going to supply them with this crap and kill some ones kids. I just can't support it. You don't make it free I'll add to my argument that they will try to rob me for their drugs.

So it's racist because cocain and heroin are mostly a white middle class issue at this point.

I love this idea, then all the lefties will overdose and stop voting. Oh what, what am I thinking they will just keep on voting from the grave.

The drugs only affect the user. They are not decriminalizing DWI. Yosur argument is the same one the gun grabbers use, just because some tweaker is going to do something stupid is not a reason to criminalize their voluntary self destruction.

As long as there's no tax payer safety net. Wanna get clean? Cool, on your dime. NOT mine.
Legal or not people are going to do drugs if they want to. Decriminalizing it is cheaper.

It's an interesting take, and certainly worth watching to see the results. I do believe crime has increased in areas where marijuana has been legalized, especially break-ins at dispensaries... Lol
Honestly, you do what you want in your home, couldn't give a crap you wanna kill your liver, your brain or body. It'll free up courts, jails and LE efforts for other endeavors. The problem isn't with functional addicts, it's with those who can't support their habits, or allow their habits to control their lives.
Like I said, it'll be interesting to watch and see, but definitely NIMBY!

Yea, but the opposition is worried more about what hopped up people driving will do and everyday life situations that they fear the impairment will bring upon the society. I'm all for "let us do what we want", people already are driving and going about life hard drugged up anyways but now it's in the open and will surely be the blame game from MSM..at least that's what I feel..

Not only will they be awarded with their wonderful drugs easily, but drug cartels go bankrupt, and the many users will also finally receive their darwin awards as well! It's a win win situation.

Anyone who wants to use these substances is doing so. They are already cheap and available. People are driving high right now where you live.
Leagalizing it will result in consistant products from legitimate suppliers - which means less likely overdoses. Additionally, the billions of dollars a year spent on the 'War on Drugs' wouldn't be continually wasted.

According to the CDC, obesity (largely caused by diet) and tobacco, kills over 1 million Americans annually FAR, FAR more than illegal drugs ever will, in fact duly prescribed prescription drugs-(adverse reactions) will kill FAR FAR more Americans than illegal drugs.
However, if it is okay to have an eightball of Coc against federal law in Oregon, then allow people to re-weld Browning 1919 sideplates to their heart's content and enjoy full autos.

While I am generally in favor of legalizing drugs, within limits, it is not what happens to subtance abusers personally that I am concerned with. It is what addicts to to others when in the thralls of their habit that worries me. With the legalization of drugs should come the proviso that out of control addicts are devoid of humanity, that is literaly no longer to be seen as human beings, and are no different than rabid animals and should therfore to be treated the same. To be put down on sight and without ceremony.
No wait, let me guess, people are going to conflate using drugs with using drugs and other completely separate crimes.
Never heard that one before.
"If we let people have guns, they might rob people with them. Therefore we ban them all."
Get some new material.

The drug law will only affect the user, the more freedom and availability and decriminalizing of it though will have others who aren't "pros" at driving or living their life high, like many can do so well be using..and those newbs will get in the car and crash and burn and kill the innocent 8 year old playing.

All that crap is readily available now. I'd be willing to bet any highschool kid can get pot, or pills, or heroine when they want. Some of them drive while they're messed up, others sit home and do it.

Of course. But opening it to all the others to experience and experiment opens up a whole new can of worms. I say "pros" because com'on, we all know friends or have been there, you do your everyday life fine and drive fine and responsibilities get taken car of and whatnot, but the new fool that says "hmm I'll try it, why not" goes out and kills people with their car.

Can you think of anybody you know who couldn't get ahold of these drugs if they wanted?
And if you can think of someone who can't find these types of drugs, do you think they would be more likely to start taking them if they were sold like beer?

I don't give two shits what anybody does as long as your habit doesn't impact my family & friends lives. If you think you need to rob for me to support your habit, you have it all wrong. I work to hard for my money, I don't want any of it spent on these pieces of shit or stollen by them, PERIOD!
It's a fucked up situation.

Thats like saying loosening Chicago's tough gun laws will make it easier for criminals to get guns, so the crime rate will go up. We all know that is hogwash.
Do you think a new ban on alcohol would reduce DWI ?

If what it will do to the user, and that abuse will rise is your concern, think of cigarettes. If what it will do to others, and that abuse will rise is your concern, think of alcohol. Why haven't we banned these yet? And what happened during prohibition? Free up the money for the war on drugs so that the money can be pissed away elsewhere.
