LMAO!! @ Slippery Slope, then slip me up....I ain't affraid to admit when I slip up.
1) If all drugs were legal, addicts would no longer pay black market prices to criminals for questionable origins of where the drug was produced. The truth is that people would get drugs produced by pharmaceutical compaines and pay market prices. People would no longer die from buying toxic drugs....
2) If all drugs were legal, addicts could seek help by going to doctors, and not have to worry about seeking prosecution because of their medical problems.
3) If all drugs were legal, criminal drug dealers would no longer be on our streets. When the prohibition act of the 20's was waved a lot of secret taverns and bars were put out of business. They couldn't compete with the low, free-market prices for drugs sold at pharmacies. Do you see people selling bootleg beer? Nah not at all
4) If all drugs were legal, our prisons would be emptied of hundreds of thousands of non-violent people who have never done harm to anyone else but themselves. No longer would over crowded prisons cause truly violent criminals to be free on early release and plea bargains to terrorize the rest of us. Can I get an Amen?
5) If all drugs were legal, law enforcement resources would be available to FIGHT violent crimes.
6) If all drugs were legal, much of the street violence would end as it did when Alcohol Prohibition ended because gangs of thugs would no longer be fighting over drug territories.
7) If all drugs were legal, police corruption would strongly drop due to criminals no longer being able to bribe weaker cops.
8) If all drugs were legal, the government could no longer use the Drug War as an excuse to tear up the Bill of Rights and pray into your bank account, strip-search you at an airport, tear your car apart, monitor your e-mail, without even charging you with a crime. I don't know about yall but I sure hate it when a cop pulls me over because there suspicious that I may have something on me..
Quit being afraid...and you made a comment about "can you imagine father and son smoking crack instead of drinking bear" or something like that, what about that drunk father and son that jumped the KC first base coach? I agree in somewhat there are some moral problems with legalizing all drugs...But if you look at it from an economic sense, or look at it from the perspective I just posted the YOU CAN'T deny the world would be better.
