"If there was no WOD, there would be no need for a search warrant in the first place. That's the connection. These officers wouldn't be wounded and a 90+ year old woman would still be breathing if there was no WOD. Now do you understand?"

Yes, think of how many lives would be saved if we made all drugs legal.

LOL

It's a great argument. And it should be applied for all laws. They're a pain in the ass to enforce anyway. And so expensive.

Laugh all you want, many more lives would be saved if the WOD ended today. About half of all violent deaths in our country can be attributed to the black market in drugs. Without the black market drugs, those violent deaths would be reduced significantly.

While it is true that some die from their drug usage, the overwhelming majority do not. Approx. 30 million people have used a controlled substance within the last 12 months, with deaths from overdoses and drug interactions totaling less than 15,000. And many of those deaths would be prevented with drugs legalized, as more info would avaiable to the drug user in preventing these mishaps.

But you go on with your merry little war that creates far more destruction to the fabric of society than recreational drug use could ever do. You and your ilk make distictions when there are no differences. Alcohol is a drug, just like these other things. You and your ilk support injustice in the law by insisting that alcohol users be treated differently than users of other mood altering substances. But that doesn't bother you and your ilk. It's all about self-righteous power and control.

Laugh it up all you want. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. You and your ilk are doing the paving here.

If you can't see the difference in trying to stop people from doing what they want to do to their own bodies versus actual criminal activity (murder, rape, robbery, etc.), there's really no use arguing with you.

And we wonder where tyrannies arise from. Wonder no more, as tyrannical laws arise from folks who share the mentality, such as it is, like the Sam Hills of this world. So caught up in their fight against "evil", they can't see the evil they, themselves sponsor in the world.

People have been using mood altering drugs since the beginning of time. You and your ilk have succeeded in criminalizing the human condition. WOW. Jesus must be proud.
