No.  You missed my point.  Om NO way was I even remotely placing CP with any illicit drug.  I'd invite a cocaine trafficker to dinner before I'd ever gave the time a day to a perv in to kids.  At least there is a level of honor amongst dealers and traffickers.  

But CP is the best example to show, even though the mere possession of CP is illegal and a person will not get a break if caught, they still go after it.  And other traffic it.  And more so now because it's far more and easily available.  Here in the US no one questions prohibiting that item.

But the similarity between the two is at some point someone is victimize due to it's existence.  And CP pervs will say they didn't victimize anyone on CP stuff and they need help.  Hence they should receive treatment, JUST LIKE IT WAS A DRUG to which the are addicted.

And if you don't think there is a victim at some level with drug addiction, you need some education.  Drugs destroy lives and families.

The reality is the US doesn't have a drug problem.  It has a self-control and arrogance problem.

And for FYI, in some of these countries which will put to death a drug trafficker, are silently ok with child porn or even child prostitution.  Funny how that plays out.

You have conflated drug use and drug addiction. You have conflated drug addiction in a society in which drugs are illegal and relatively difficult to obtain with addiction in a society in which drugs are legal and readily obtainable.

Hell yeah.  My friends tell me its a lot of fun used in moderation on special occasions.



Powder cocaine isn't all that dangerous or addictive.  Freebasing is another story.  



I'll patiently wait in this thread for someone to prove to me that powered cocaine is more dangerous that Valium, Xanax, Riddilin, and Adderal.

You are 100% correct.  

The war on drugs IS a joke and a scam....... "we" are being played while the connected get rich... no doubt.

Funny, most want to talk about the fake "war on drugs" but many fail to mention the utter havoc and chaos drug use causes on society and families.

It isn't just about the money spent on the fake war on drugs...... it is also about the destruction of the family, the abused children, the BILLIONS in medical costs/care, insurance rates, health care rates, etc. etc.

Yeah, legalize that shit.  If you believe legalization would not open up an entirely different set of problems and/or greatly increase the problems we already have I think you have not thought the problem through very well.

I've seen several families utterly destroyed by drug addicted members...... legalize it, make it readily available, take the stigma away, condone it, etc. and see what happens.  Yeah, you can stop the war on drugs and then get to enjoy living in a society that WILL see drug use skyrocket and all the problems associated with it greatly multiply.

All of those evil things happen now. Plus incarceration. Plus dynamic entries and no-knocks. Plus the Carroll Doctrine. Plus the rise of federal power and of the police state. It may be true that legalization would mean addiction and ruined families. The current regime means the same thing, plus a whole lot more.

I would whole heartedly support legalization of cocaine as long as I could get a dealer's license.  And the .gov would do the dirty work of rooting out unlicensed dealers.  I'm a man of simple needs so I'm thinking I wouldn't need an exclusive sales territory much larger than 500K population or so.  Legalization would be great under that scenario.  At least it would be for me.  I'd be willing to give unlimited free samples to all my state legislators so they could monitor my quality control.  Think about it boys, free cocaine for life or at least as long as you stay in office.

A friend of mine from Bolivia managed to bring back to the States a box of tea, the tea looks just like 'Lipton's" tea bag with a string and paper tag.  The tag reads COCA and has a drawing of the coca leaf.  This is quite legal THERE and the Customs Cop (in Bolivia) did not think twice about letting it through customs.  It's THEIR tea used at high altitudes to open the lungs.  I would be open for the tea, not the man made drug.  I keep the bags as conversation items.  The tea has a "green" taste, bitter.  It does seem to open the lungs and help with breathing deeply.

Remember, prohibition of drugs and alcohol was initiated by the Progressive movement over 100 years ago.  Support of prohibition by "Conservatives" is nothing more than conserving the socialist progress of the "Progressive" movement

I'm sorry people destroy their lives and the lives of others with their usage of drugs and alcohol.  I'm also sorry that people are killed by vehicle crashes, mechanical failures, swimming pools, insufficient/defective safety devices, falls, over eating, and firearms.  However I don't believe it is the governments responsibility to keep the stupid from removing themselves from the gene pool.

The facts of the WoD do not support your claims.

Drugs are now cheaper and more plentiful than ever before.
As a percentage of the population, the amount of drug users in American society has remained stable for over 100 years.

Answer the following question and you might be able to see the WoD for what it really is.

The government is unable to keep drugs out of PRISON, the MOST restrictive society known to mankind.  How do you propose the exact same government will be able to keep drugs out of a FREE society???

I've got another question for anyone who cares to answer.  What would you prefer?  Having your door kicked in at 3am by a group of druggies shouting "Police!" and looking for a fix, OR having your door kicked in at 3am by a group of cops shouting "Police" and looking for drugs?  Which one of the two previous scenarios is 100% preventable?

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.

I think the point is, it's a slippery slope.

By all means, enforce laws where one individual actually violates, or threatens to violate another individuals natural rights.  But don't micromanage individuals.  If a person violates another's natural rights it doesn't matter if they were stone cold sober, drunk, or high.  It just doesn't matter.

Because what happens when you try to enforce these kinds of prohibitions you'll turn a lot of people who wouldn't violate other's natural rights into criminals.

Not everyone who get's drunk, beats their wife, loses their job, or drives drunk.  Not everyone who uses other intoxicants commits crimes.  

It's really not a question of whether or not cocaine, or any other intoxicant should be legal, it's a question of whether or not government should be involved in these progressive prohibitions at all.

IIRC, the Rand Corp said it was something like $20 saved in other related social costs for every dollar spent on treatment, and an additional $7 in related social costs for every dollar spent on enforcement. So a better approach would save about $27 for every dollar spent.

Also, from what I understand, there wasn't any real drug crime prior to the laws against it.

Yes, I absolutely support having the government let people sink if they can't swim.

That applies to drug users and non-drug users alike.

And I'm not "pro-drug."  I'm against making the government so big and powerful people can use it to tell other people what they can and cannot do with their own life.

The argument that the government should be able to interfere in individual life choices because of how those choices might
affect society as a whole is a huge, sweeping grant of power to the government to dictate how you live.

Once granted, that exact same argument can be used to justify government intrusion into all kinds of private decisions.   From who you marry, to what you eat (and how much), to what you drink, ingest, smoke, or even how you recreate or what kind of car you drive.

Let's take that grant of power to a ridiculous extreme.  Let's pretend its 20 years in the future and scientists have gotten REALLY good at identifying genes that cause horrible diseases or disability.  Should the government have the power to forbid you from procreating if it decides it's in society's best interest that you don't, based on the chances that you might inadvertently perpetuate one of those bad genes?

Honestly, that's not even that ridiculous of a hypothetical.   The same Progressives who first clamored for laws against drugs like cocaine and marijuana also supported eugenics laws, for the same reason.   They knew what was best for society.  They knew what was best for individuals.  So they did their best to codify their rules for your life into law.   For your own good and with the best of intentions, no less.

I don't know how to put this gently, your mother may have used cocaine but the drug didn't make her who she was.  

That's one of the biggest problems we have today.  It's a symptom of a society that we will do whatever it takes to shift personal responsibility away from ourselves.  We try to shift it to other people (government), and things (drugs).   "The devil made me do it" nor "drugs made me do it" is a legitimate excuse.  

If your mother behaved badly, that was her.  Her drug use was incidental.
