I'm definitely for legalization of marijuana. I think the pharmaceutical industry plus the do-gooders are why it hasn't happened yet. I wouldn't want do it, but I want the choice. I don't want the government to make it for me. It's not harmful or addictive from what I understand - no more than alcohol or tobacco and those are legal.

The hard drugs - heroin, narcotics, etc. - that's a whole different story and I'm hesitant about supporting their legalization.

Yes?

But isn't that why I asked- is mass posting a problem?

I believe that the personal use of all drugs should be legal, while the sale and distribution of drugs should remain illegal.

If someone is struggling with substance use, they should not be sent to prison, instead they should be offered access to rehabilitation and other treatment programs. Incarcerating people who are dealing with addiction is neither effective nor productive. It fills prison cells that could be reserved for individuals who have committed actual serious crimes, such as murder or rape. Addiction is a public health issue, and it should be addressed as such through support and recovery services rather than punishment.

Yes, why not? The world would be a happier place imo. Especially weed, if I'm not at work or on the road, I'm high Heroin and narcotics sound scary though. Maybe shrooms and weed, sound more natural.

yeah. decriminalization and harm reduction do much more to protect addicts than anti-drug legislation. especially when anti-drug legislation is used as another tool to enact violence against marginalized communities.

 

[legionary]

absolutely. either all drugs should be banned or none. i dont understand why we allow some while we dont allow others, its definitely not for "protection" considering how many alcohol deaths there are every year.
any death that would happen through an accidental overdose or misusage of a (currently illegal) drug would only be happening because the user is incapable of using common sense or figuring out how to use said drug.. in which case they most likely wouldve died from some other fatal mistake at some point anyways, the issue wouldnt be the drug itself.

 

[StillAbyss]

I believe so

Legalize everything. Let natural selection run it's course. End of drug problem.

Yes legalize and regulate all drugs. The truth is that a lot of people can use hard drugs and be fine. Life isn't black and white (thank fuck).





I also know half (or more) of the people that claim to care about addicts just make fun of them or forget about them.

of course not

not sure how to fix the drug problems throughout the world, short of blowing up the people who are bringing them into other people's lives, but they should not be legal

perhaps, and it does seem to be this way overall, in australia and from what i have seen elsewhere, things like marijuana maybe should be unofficially official. the authoritah do not seem to care that much about it, providing a person is not dealing in it, and only has their own personal amounts. obviously, if people give the cops attitude, then they may very well come down hard on them for such a small crime of having marijuana, however it wasn't the drug they had, it was their attitude that got them in trouble. the drug was just an opening for an arrest

the truth is a lot of people can drive at 250kph/150mph, but many more cannot and are dangerous at 60kph/40mph. do we remove speed limits and let everyone do what they want on the road. that is a sure fire way to create more problems, because the laws need to brought down to the level of the lowest common denominator - and the denominations are very, very low in most things

there are a lot of people who do care about the physical and mental health and wellbeing of addicts, but at the very least, we cannot live our life looking after everyone else. we can try, but there are only so many hands we can hold at any one time, which is the same for everyone, even addicts. we also do think that if a crime is committed while under the influence of a drug they took or got themselves addicted to, then the full extent of the law should be applied without any consideration of the drug. if an addict kills or rapes someone, the victim's status does not change due to the fact, they were impaired and couldn't help what they were doing, so the person who did it should not have their status changed due to the fact they were impaired either

Comparing driving a car to drugs is simply just being dishonest. 2 completely separate situations. One cant avoid driving but one CAN choose to put whatever drugs they want into their body. This is not even getting into stuff like cultural differences and stuff like the autobahn.

There are a lot of people who do care about the physical and mental health and wellbeing of addicts,

Theres also tons of people who don't care about the physical and mental health and well-being of addicts. Whats your point exactly?

you are showing your age and how little experience you have in life and how little you think outside your own little box - one can avoid driving. one can avoid drugs too. however, when one does either, the potential for other people to pay the price for their stupidity and lack of care and consideration for others is huge. hence why there are rules in place

Theres also tons of people who don't care about the physical and mental health and well-being of addicts. Whats your point exactly?

to understand, you just have to listen

also tons????
i doubt you have found tons of them. most of your posts are about playing a victim of some kind. if you used other people's experience, and thought outside your very small existence, your world might have a chance to be much more positive. you seem to feel like you have all of the answers (which is not uncommon for anyone, especially one so young and definitely not supposed to be criticism), but hopefully you get to realise long into the future, that no one at your age has many answers at all

and the world is black and white - you either did something or you didn't - using grey scales is simply a way to try and weasel your way out of what you did
