it's still fallacious just because this drug is easier to die from than others. Again - what do you care? Majority of OD cases are due to lack of education and improper use. There is easier way to die if your intent is to commit suicide (jump off the bridge). Obviously - when legalizing cocaine/marijuana/etc... the public would be properly informed about it with FDA & Surgeon General's warnings.
medicinal drugs? No - I pointed out the hypocrisy and double standard on your part because you're not OK with cocaine but you're OK with prescription drugs which have repeatedly abused to the point of addiction/OD. You know what I called the doctors who can write prescriptions? Legalized Drug Dealer.
I'm not exactly all for legislation of all drugs but our approach toward it is wrong. Just a food for thought
what alternative you ask? none because I do not have enough expertise or in-depth knowledge in this issue but what I have is a logical view on this decades-long issue. For starter - legalizing marijuana makes sense - economically and socially. Look at why people resort to illicit drugs. Perhaps this legalization of weed would attract people away from illicit drugs. Obviously - the key driver to succumbing to illicit drugs is economy and social pressure.
Crack is DIRTY and cheap - a very FILTHY form of cocaine. yes this ought to be banned. crack makes you feel like a superman - a heightened sense of euphoria.... and then the side effect is paranoia and aggravation when the effect wears off. Now how is this any more different from legalized medication like anti-anxiety pills? or hundred of other drugs out there? They perform the same thing that the user wants to achieve.
Speed (or Amphetamines) keeps you awake. Legalized drug for same effect - A.D.D. drugs and anti-narcoleptic drug. and now why is it that "poor man's drugs" carry harsher penalty than "rich man's drugs"?
simple.... the pharmaceutical companies' dirty greedy hands are all over this issue. Like I said previously - they are incredibly effective at stigmatizing these drugs and lobbying government into regulating it. For your views on drugs - it's a hypocrisy and double standard.... the end result of pharmaceutical companies' effective subliminal brainwashing. <putting on aluminum foil hat>
I ain't FOR legalizing ALL drugs. Some drugs should remain BANNED but I think we should legalize marijuana and cocaine.
simple - look at drug-friendly countries like Amsterdam, Australia, South America, Russia, etc... they're doing just fine.
then this:
). How? don't ask me. I'm not a politician or lawmaker.
why not? there are plenty of other drugs that as addictive and dangerous as cocaine. Legalize cocaine and TAX THE CRAP OUT OF IT!at least it'll curb down the use of dirty crack and heroine.
And I'm for the legalization of it because of the same reasons. It puts gangs out of buisness and the drug itself wouldnt be "dirty" like how Jiro described it. Some people buy Ajax for all they know when its advertised as this drug or that drug, blah blah...
other drugs = illicit & dirty drugs like crack, etc... NOT prescription drugs.
My 2 statements above that you posted. They're quite consistent with each other - legalization for marijuana & cocaine. and to answer your question, cocaine will be sold the same way that marijuana is sold. Obviously - the government will regulate it (and tax it too
