How about alcohol prohibition, should we bring that back? Why are drugs bad and booze is ok? How about tabacco? That kills more folks a year than drugs do?
A lot of people who use or want to use drugs feel that way.
It’s an old argument that is a waste of time to get into, since the minds of neither view will be changed.
I have seen many drug addicts, brought many overdoses back with Narcan. Seen what happens in families and do not feel we need one more vice out there just to make drug addicts happy.
Personally I do not need alcohol, nor do I drink it, but alcohol is not near as addictive as drugs. I have some alcoholic friends, they usually go through life in a fairly normal way. Drugs become a part of your life, it takes greater and greater amounts to satisfy the needs of the addict. Life to the addict is not normal as the craving increases.
People who go through life needing a crutch are pathetic.
Drugs and alcohol are a crutch, then they become an addiction.
As I say you won’t change my mind and I won’t change yours.
