Why do so many Americans think we can jail or kill our way out of every single problem?
- YetAnotherNick 8y agoYes I specifically told the things that is currently happening and I am not fine with it. I am not saying that mushrooms should be banned, just saying I criticize legalizing everything just because you have choice to not do drugs.
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 8y agoDo you support the return of prohibition of alcohol, then, but keeping it "decriminalized"? I think a lot of this fear that legalizing drugs will lead to a bunch of non-drug users suddenly becoming drug addicts is simply hysteria. People use illegal drugs to self-medicate some other problem; healthy people are not suddenly going to want to be crack users. A lot of the hysteria in Colorado prior to marijuana legalization was that youth consumption rates would increase.
