At least food is a need. Cocaine, pot, meth, Heroin, etc. are not.There will always be drug addicts and alcoholics. Locking them up for using is not the solution. Food addicts also take up hospital space and raise healthcare costs. There are many vices to choose from and I guarantee humans will always have vices.
I'm not sure what your point is, since you don't find heroin or cocaine growing naturally in the ground like you do marijuana or mushrooms.Heroin is an opioid drug made from morphine, a natural substance taken from the seed pod of the various opium poppy plants. Cocaine is produced from the leaves of the coca plant. Shall I continue?
Regardless, addiction doesn’t need to be a crime.At least food is a need. Cocaine, pot, meth, Heroin, etc. are not.
Not many people out on the street living in cardboard boxes because they eat too much food.
Get the government involved. Make it all available through nominated outlets. Price it at half the current street value and guess what'll happen...suppliers go out of business. And all drug related gang violence dissapears.At least food is a need. Cocaine, pot, meth, Heroin, etc. are not.

Who's more likely to eliminate or at least reduce drug laws? The democrats or the republicans?
And how much of the house and senate do Libertarians control?Libertarians.
Or at least classically. That Party seems to have been hollowed out and there is little left but the anarchocapitalists and crypto-facsicts.
Which means you favor democrats in office because republicans are too tough of narcotics use, which was my point all along.No, what you're doing is trying to speak for others.
Putting words and ideas in their mouths that are easier to argue against than say, a moderated drug policy that doesn't imprison more people for drug offences than any other country in the world.
What I am doing is arguing against your actual position, that the Republican party has anything like a sane drug policy.
The Republican's policy on drugs is to become more and more draconian via the police and try to imprison as many people as possible. And, as long as we as a society continue fighting a senseless war on our own population I'm going to hold the same opinion.
And no. I'm not calling republicans fascists, they are something else entirely, but that doesn't make it a good thing.
And how much of the house and senate do Libertarians control?
So financing the narcotic trade and keeping manufacturers, traffickers and sellers in business isn't a crime.Not legal to sell, buy or possess amounts deemed as trafficking. Possessing small amounts considered personal use amounts and using is not a crime on its own.
Why don’t we focus on the real criminals trafficking the drugs and not the low hanging fruit of addicts.So financing the narcotic trade and keeping manufacturers, traffickers and sellers in business isn't a crime.
We were talking about which party that actually has control people vote for and why. Reasons why the people, whether they be libertarian or independent or whatever, vote for democrats. Or put another way, some of the main reasons why the democrat party is more appealing to voters. Which boils down to sex and drugs.0%, the normal percentage (probably a high water mark), but weren't we talking about voters?
Unfamiliar with US sadomoralism I see.Get the government involved. Make it all available through nominated outlets. Price it at half the current street value and guess what'll happen...suppliers go out of business. And all drug related gang violence dissapears.
Control the supply and you have some leverage over the users. Safe needles. Safe rooms. Options for treatment. Less deaths. A huge drop in the number of kids getting hooked. Together with a huge drop in overdoses.
I'm struggling to think of a negative.
Better yet, don’t give the trade over to violent criminals. Prohibition didn’t work the first time and the sequel is even worse.Why don’t we focus on the real criminals trafficking the drugs and not the low hanging fruit of addicts.
Don’t forget the white supremacy sprinkles.Libertarians.
Or at least classically. That Party seems to have been hollowed out and there is little left but the anarchocapitalists and crypto-facsicts.
Because the "real criminals" depend on those who take narcotics. Or put another way, if people didn't take narcotics to get stoned, there would be no narcotics trafficking. Making it easier to use narcotics, is going to boost trafficking.Why don’t we focus on the real criminals trafficking the drugs and not the low hanging fruit of addicts.
Possessing narcotics which leads to addiction needs to be a crime.Regardless, addiction doesn’t need to be a crime.
Your ideal world will never exist. We need to deal with reality.Because the "real criminals" depend on those who take narcotics. Or put another way, if people didn't take narcotics to get stoned, there would be no narcotics trafficking. Making it easier to use narcotics, is going to boost trafficking.
Nope that's where you shifted the goalposts.Which means you favor democrats in office because republicans are too tough of narcotics use, which was my point all along.
Disagree.Possessing narcotics which leads to addiction needs to be a crime.
