I think it's relevant enough, you come across as being rather immature, this is an extremely interesting subject matter, and many posters would be willing to have a mature debate about it, if you engaged so, name calling isn't exactly mature

I never engaged in name-calling, I referred to someone as infantile, who as called me the same. Go preach to him.

Do you drink tea or coffee, coca cola, red bull?

True, but his aides have since come out and admitted it was a complete lie to turn hippes and African-Americans into pariahs, and had nothing to do with social safety.

Fair enough. So Nixon instead of Reagan. Now do you wish to debate any of the rest of the post.

"First rule of economics. Supply will always meet demand. So you will always have a supply of drug dealers. The penalties have not stopped the trade growing. Maybe a different approach is needed. Or you could just keep doing what we've been doing since Reagan (now Nixon) started the war on drugs. That's been effective hasn't it?"

Btw your suggestion in the title thread will do nothing to stop the drugs trade. It's a simplistic view that prohibition and harsh sanctions will win the war on drugs. Which it never will. So you can keep doing the same thing over and over again with the same outcomes. Which is plainly ridiculous.

So let me get this straight....

You are happy to allow the supply so long as it's become legal and so long as it is not, the law breaker should be killed?

Seems to me that you are not trying to take a stance based on the effect of the crime, only that a crime is being committed.


Imaging the day that a drug becomes legal and all of a sudden you're like... "whoops, shouldn't have killed that guy yesterday while the law was different, turns out that today he would have been ok. oh well."

Any other crimes that should result in death? breaking liquor licensing conditions ?

OP sounds like someone who just came out of a Christian indoctrination camp.

Live your puritanical life all you want, but just so you know, your preachy attitude will only leave you sad and alone.

What's your opinion of the Sackler family OP? They grew the opioid epidemic in America legally. Oxycontin is the absolute definition of a gateway drug.

You're actually wrong on this. A man name Harry Anslinger is the first man responsible for what we know as the modern War on Drugs.

Given all the talk about Michela McCollum, she, like any smuggler or dealer should be locked up.

life in prison doesnt deter drug dealers, short term prison sentences wont cut it either, but ya let's keep trying that for another 50 years, while drugs have never been more really available, cheaper, better quality and more kids are using/selling, savage cabbage

We are always 10 years behind america,
marijuana should be legalised and taxed ,
it,ll reduce revenue going to drug gangs.
Anyone over 18 should be able to buy it like whisky or wine .
you,ll have to show id to buy it.
Even people doing very serious crimes get out after a few years,
judges know we have have limited no of prison cells.

Yes and there's also been a massive surge in people engaging in high-rise opioid use in Portugal.

By the looks of it, you re predominantly left brained, which means you're largely engaging in your logical side of your brain, the subject matter of something complex as drugs, not only requires your left brain, but also requires your right brain, or emotional brain, and sometimes more so than your left brain. This could be why you're struggling to engage in the conversation

Psychoactive drugs are illegal or prescription because they could potentially make normal people's behaviour unpredictable and dangerous to other innocent people who shouldnt have to suffer effects of their choices.
