“Everything in moderation” It’s a common phrase that I don’t know that humans are very good at.
You say the vast majority can handle it I would say the vast majority don’t handle it very well, maybe some small majority does. Because I see an awful lot of people with addiction problems that are hurting themselves and their families. Not just with illegal drugs that’s with prescription drugs too.
I could definitely be persuaded into programs that would be used to help people try to find their way out of addictions before they have to go to jail. I’m not sure they would work, but I would be willing to try.
Obviously, this is one of the hardest problems to solve. You got two ideologies. trying to figure it out, and neither one have been able to completely solve it.
I just think the government should butt out, and let people make their own choices, and we can give them the education of the effects of their choices
We’ve spent, literally, over a trillion dollars on the war on drugs. It’s a failure and a waste of money.
It’s one of my biggest criticisms of Biden. He’s bragging about his strict crack cocaine laws, locking up people and separating families, while his son is doing the same drugs. I highly doubt if we asked Biden if he thinks his son should be in Prison he would say yes.
If someone doesn’t want to do drugs, good for them. But I think people should mind their own business and only worry when it starts directly affecting them
Don’t let people shoot up in the streets. Have severe penalties for leaving out needles on the ground. Severe penalties for theft and assault. But someone doing a drug should be the last of our worries
