Legalizing drugs won't give us less abuse of narcotics.

We will end up with more people living under the influence of drugs throughout out society.

The junkies' children will be our collective problem.

Our fellow workers on the job will jeopardize OUR safety and well-being through their irresponsible drug abuse. A lot of jobs demand clear, sober thinking in life-or-death situations.

More stoned drivers will be behind the wheel of automobiles.

Legalizing drugs does not address the problem of people abusing drugs and choosing irresponsible behavior to the detriment of all of society.

Do you want nurses, doctors, electricians, plumbers, truck drivers, forklift operators, teachers, day-care workers, school bus drivers, or bank tellers STONED when they do their jobs?

Can anyone list how legislation of morals ever seriously worked? Oh and by the way we know prohibition was a huge success for whom? The dealers of course! Ask old man Kennedy where he made his money.

Answer my question that you ignored before; do you believe in abolishing Constitutional rights in the name of the war on drugs, specifically asset forfeiture laws that allow corrupt drug cops(a preponderance of them are corrupt) to confiscate your property without due process of law?

Simple question. Answer it.
