[QUOTE="GarfieldJL, post: 63642766, member: 320660"] [LIST=1] [*]If people entered the country illegally then they broke the law. Look if they wanted to apply for asylum that's one thing, but violating our national sovereignty and thumbing their nose at the law doesn't exactly generate much in the way of sympathy. [*]Drug usage is not a laughing matter. What libertarians say about drugs not being all that dangerous is completely insane, the reason why people don't recognize the effects that Marijuana withdrawl has on people is fairly simple, it stays in your bloodstream for weeks after you stop taking it. [LIST] [*]Look I take prescription medications and I was once put on prozac because the doctor was concerned my other medications might cause depression, and it caused a mood shift that I found to be alarming and discontinued taking that medication. Turns out I had a rare side-effect of it triggering feelings of aggression. [*]Marijuana can affect your judgement, it can cause paranoia, it can make you docile to whatever, different people react to it in different ways. [/LIST] [/LIST]These things are not laughing matters, I know that on paper it looks like legalization would solve a lot of problems, but what looks good on paper doesn't always work well in real life. Additionally it could be argued that these drugs would be a threat to everyone's liberty if they were legalized. Put simply, drug addiction would be an easy way for government to control the masses.
