We ain't legalizing - that would cut the bankers out. But they're getting all of those things. That's the status quo that you support and I oppose. I'm in favor of legalizing, taxing and regulating all drugs. People should not be able to use a lot of these poisons without a license and permits and bonds - they're that big a hazard. But you want to let the criminal element continue to (mis)handle all of that.

You say they should not be allowed to **** up public places, as a condition of legalization. Well, no worries. We ain't legalizing - and they're **** up public places. If they had been required to submit usage itineraries as a condition of purchase, this would not be the case.

You say they should be left to rot in their own drugs and filth until they die, as a condition of legalization. We ain't legalizing - and they're left to rot in their own drugs and filth until they die.

You seem schizophrenic on this topic. Listening to you, I would think you are AGAINST kids getting hooked on drugs. But then you turn right around and defend the very system that has criminal cartels in charge of regulating drug sales. You DO understand that the cartels actually target kids, yes? With free samples - yes?

I have the stomach to legalize, tax and regulate all drugs. Freedom is messy - prohibition is messier. You're so intent on controling that which you CANNOT control, that you lose any ability to legitimately regulate. I'm good enough with NOT controlling, but influencing and regulating. I favor a system that would give society GREATER control. Right now, the criminals regulate drugs - for their interests. In my view, SOCIETY should regulate drugs, for OUR interests. And the bad ones? The really bad ones should have the greatest level of regulation, as they pose the greatest threat to society's wellbeing.
If I had my way, I would go to war with Mexico and China over what they have done to our Citizens through addictive chemicals.  As far as I'm concerned, this is a form of chemical warfare.  I'd give one stern warning to Mexico - keep you drugs, your gangs, your **** out of America.  That's it then I'd start by wiping out all of Mexico, making it look 10x worse than Ukraine. And then, if necessary, I'd plow into China next.

I'm not a Libertarian.  Never will be and never will cede America's chemical addiction to Mexico, China or any other stinking country.  No more Mexicans - the World will get the message.
