I remember growing up in South Carolina, being handcuffed in my residence for small amounts of marijuana, coming home to find the cops in my residence because my roommate dealt small amounts of marijuana (less than a pound). We lived in a trailer and mostly smoked pot, we didn't bother anybody.
My guess is the questionable-to-doubtful justice of the War on Drugs is one of the main culprits of the issues we see with law enforcement. Personally I believe we would be better off if all drugs were legalized.
- ttonkytonk 5y agoI remember hearing a doctor on the radio say that either all drugs should be legal or illegal - otherwise it's rank hypocrisy. They or someone also said with legality use goes up but crime goes down. I have a friend who told me a story about going to prison for trying to sell a few prescription pills. He was homeless at the time. Taking laws and justice seriously is the foundation of our Western tradition (see Plato and Socrates).
