so, based on your suspicion you get to decide what substances I may ingest during my personal time? addiction can ruin lives, but the war on drugs only makes it worse for drug users. addicts need help, not punishment. you may or may not agree with drug use, but it is evident that what we are doing right now is not working.
- hasenj 10y agoYou want your own personal desires (vice?) to trump what's beneficial or destructive to society as a whole.
- xj9 10y ago[citation needed] you are positing something that you have no proof of. what we do know is that the war on drugs is damaging to society. we also know that decriminalization worked for Portugal. where is your proof? i want to be free. i don't want you or anyone else to have the power to dictate my (or anyone's) behavior.
- hasenj 10y agoI think your attitude is rather childish. Your assumptions are not knowledge. Also, your concept of freedom seems rather misplaced. Everyone already does dictate your behavior. If you think otherwise, you are not thinking hard enough.
- xj9 10y agoi know people try to dictate my behavior, but i can always find the courage to rebel. :) have some data: https://www.bjs.gov/content/dcf/duc.cfm https://www.bjs.gov/content/dcf/duc.cfm http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/attachements.cfm/att_239505_EN_TDAT15001ENN.pdf http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/attachements.cfm/att_239505_EN_T... decriminalization works. punishing users doesn't. if you want to do something about drugs, treat the addiction. fund rehab programs. see them as people with a medical issue, rather than morally corrupt individuals.
