I wonder when the government will go after the real criminals? imagine if half the money they spend on the drug war which will never work, on pssh, i don't know, schools? health care? the government is the definition of the word stupid being stupid is having something not work(alcohol prohibition) and trying the same exact thing over again and expecting it to work this time. it's the equivalent of putting a square peg in a round hole, failing and trying it again with different colored blocks.

It doesn't even matter if a drug addict can't function in society. Tell me one reason why you think drugs should be illegal, minus the argument that too many people will get high and jump off buildings. Because that is retarded.

No, you need to inform yourself if you actually think that everyone that uses drugs 'cannot function within society and must steal to afford their drug use'. Most people who use drugs arn't addicts, and even some addicts manage to hold down a job.

no, if anything inform yourself cause it seems like you dn't know much.

Not everyone who drinks alcohol is an alcoholic. Not everyone who smokes dope or even takes heroin cannot fully function within their community; including holding down a job.

An excellent topic, but the interviewer is distracting. He needs to ask better questions, get a haircut, and lose the shades.

Join us on the world's longest running debate on drug prohibition!"The Drug War Makes The Word Freedom Meaningless" at political crossfire

Alcohol Prohibition was passed with a campaign of "Save the Children From Alcohol." But within five years, record numbers of teens were in court and in hospitals for alcohol-related problems. Prohibition supporters seeing that their children found it easier to get booze started a new campaign of "Save the Children from Prohibition." The war on drugs has been no different. "Save the children from the war on drugs"

"This is outright stupidity! People on drugs cannot function in society and will always be a burden. They cannot maintain employment and will have to steal to live." Wake up, you don't know what you are talking about. Inform yourself, please.
