No. Druggies are one of the scourges of society. Someone who needs drugs like that is better served by walking off a cliff with waiting carnivores at the bottom.

It's schedule 2, and it comes in 4% and 10% solutions. a long time ago, in the 70s i worked in a drug store as a stockboy and pharm tech. we used to order 1 ounce cocaine HCL (powder) for around 30 bucks a ounce. we made a solution that mixed cocaine and morphine and some other stuff into a solution that was used orally by terminally ill cancer patents. the morphine killed the pain and the cocaine kept the patient somewhat alert. a while back i was in a pharmacy and looked up the wholesale cost of cocaine and it was 2 or 3k an ounce. im guessing the powdered form is very rarely if ever seen these days. im in ga. and back in the day their was a pharmacist, i think in macon that was buying the stuff and giving it to the allman brothers. i used to have an empty cocaine HCL bottle from merck that i lost. i wished i had kept it. had some old bndd bottles with federal taxstamps (bureau of narcotics and dangerous drugs which was replaced by the dea in the late 60s). and yes it should all be legal. users should be treated as medical problems not law enforcement problems. it simply creates a market where the most violent folks prosper and a lot of the money goes to topple governments and fund terrorists. i've been around since the 60s and i've seen all manner of drug abuse, both of legal and illegal drugs. folks wanna use they do. btw meth (methamphetamine) is legal too. |

It should be a State issue.
The Federal governments only roles in the regulation of any drugs should be medical research and information, safety and purity standards, factual labeling requirements, and importation/exportation regulation. Criminality, legality, restrictions and enforcment of regulations should all be State issues. Personally, I do not want to legalize it. I also don't want secret police knocking down doors over it. There's a middle ground in that false dichotomy. I also respect the legitimate power of other States to make their own decision on the matter. |

Yes because the war on drugs has been a disaster doing more harm than the drugs it unsuccessfully was suppose to stop, in fact it has propagated drug use by moving it to the black market. Just like prohibition made organized crime, the drug war has done the same.
Look at say 1890 vs now; US society when there were no drug laws. Was crime lower? Was society smarter? Was taxes lower? Were freedoms greater? Were 1890 teens dying from OD in the streets? Prohibition helped to usher the 1934 gun control act (MG tax/ban). Prior to the organized crime that prohibition created were gangsters mowing each other down with Tommy guns? No. Just like the drug dealing black market helps to propagate much of the gun crime now that can be used to push for more gun control. I'd rather the resources were used to chase down murders, rapists and thieves. |

Legalize all drugs. Prohibition is stupid. This is one of the issues I changed my mind over time. I used to fervently support the drug war but now I realize just how foolish it is. Of course, it's hard to win on a "legalize everything" platform in the GOP. This. I have zero problem with drugs being illegal but when the enforcement of those laws is not only utterly ineffective but being used as an excuse to infringe people's rights then it's time to try something different. |

I have a feeling that keeping some people incarcerated is a huge multibillion per year business.
The trailer for "American Drug War: The Last White Hope":
I say legalize everything. What has happened to pot street prices in states like Colorado that have marijuana dispensaries? If the street price drops to the point that thugs and gang bangers no longer are intersted and no longer fight over turf, would that NOT be a good thing? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Yes legalize it and all drugs. We don't have enough addicted , numb, high/stoned, people amongst us. It's no one's business what someone else does..... until they kill you or a loved one in an accident or while committing a robbery to support their habit. We should have the government supply the drugs, that way we can cut down on the associated negative behavior the drug addicted embrace. We should also stop any law suit that may arise when a drug addicted doctor, nurse, etc. fucks up and kills someone. We don't have enough addicted, abused, hungry, forgotten children out there. Yes, we should remove ALL stigma of drug abuse..... all drugs should be legalized and in effect have the government and society condone and encourage their use. AND, in a perfect world, we could all stop working and remain high and in a state of bliss. We could reach the utopia so many of us want...... we could become a country where no one works and money falls from the sky....... those of us that do work wouldn't mind our health care premiums going up by a factor of 10 to pay for the health problems so many of the drug addicted experience. Yes, lets legalize it and take away any and all stigma of drug use...... let's promote the use of drugs and condone it. All the problems that would arise can be easily dealt with. 
They can't keep drugs out of prison. (Let that sink in for a few seconds) Please explain in detail how you expect a government that is unable to keep drugs out of the most restricted society known to mankind will be able to keep drugs out of a free society. I'd prefer having junkies kicking in my door looking for a fix than the police kicking in my door looking for some drugs. |

Anybody who wants it now can get it now. Before 1914, anyone who wanted it could get it legally by the pound at the dry goods store. Currently, the principal downside to cocaine use is legal intervention.

He was an alcoholic, but I've never heard of him using other drugs. 1981 would have been several years after his son OD'd on cocaine, alcohol and prescription pills. Probably around the time frame he got involved with the anti-drug campaign. |
