As a LEO, I'm actually in support of this. There'll need to be some sort of discussion on the driving issue within X amount of hours/days after having consumed certain drugs. It's clear that the US/western model isn't working though. It also potentially sets up gaining money through taxes instead of throwing tax money into the wind. Even if this experiment fails, they've at least tried something other than what's not been working. |

I tend to agree with the effort...but I think it's naive to believe that you can remove drug addiction from the criminal justice system.
Addicts will always be a problem, because addicts tend to commit lots of other crimes besides just drugs. I'm pretty much in favor of legalization but there it's not going to cause a significant drop in crime or the costs of social services. |

Drug legalization really needs to be accompanied with cuts in/elimination of the welfare state (so addicts aren't subsidized) and self-defense reform (so that if addicts turn to crime their victims have at least some recourse). If some addict manages to earn a living and not sponge off the state or turn to crime, there's bigger problems to worry about than whether someone is high or not.

I'm pretty much in favor of legalization but there it's not going to cause a significant drop in crime or the costs of social services. What percentage of their crimes are to pay for overly inflated drug prices? There are plenty of addicts who are in the system because of drug charges who otherwise are not criminals. I don't know about the SS part, but I'll lay dollars to donuts that the crime rate would drop significantly. The relief of the monetary burden from the excessive amount of LE to deal with illegal drugs would more than pay for treatment. Hell, it'd probably be cheaper to give the stuff away to those who want it, than to try to keep them from getting it. But the .gov can't just decriminalize it. They have to keep their fingers in it and control/tax/regulate it which sets up another set of issues. 
Just repeal all drug, gun, vice laws. Do away with 80% or more of welfare services. It'll all sort itself out. |

Quoted:
Drug legalization really needs to be accompanied with cuts in/elimination of the welfare state (so addicts aren't subsidized) and self-defense reform (so that if addicts turn to crime their victims have at least some recourse). If some addict manages to earn a living and not sponge off the state or turn to crime, there's bigger problems to worry about than whether someone is high or not. agreed Lethal force for property crime? Theft larceny? I don't see why the smiley face, that's law here in Texas. Can't you shoot burglars in Florida? |

You make that sound like a good thing. Private property rights are fundamental to liberty. I didn't write that commie crap. |

Theft larceny? Yes. If someone wants to take what I have, I would have no problem with their death. The things I own, I've spent part of my life to work to acquire. Someone else has no right to take it. |
