if they do drugs there are victims, their kids, their families.
So let’s throw their father/mother in jail. His family & kids are way better off then. Really?!
Our govt says this drug is good yet that drug is bad. Do this drug and we tax it, do that drug and you rot in jail and destroy your family.
Republicans public image is in the crapper. They could pivot and become “The Party of Family”. Let the Democrats own being “The Party of the State”.
Being the party of family values means you need to keep families together. Even if that means spending a billion dollars on drug treatment programs instead of another SuperMax prison.
legalizing family-destroying drugs won’ t make republicans the party of the family.
and you just proved my point about drugs affecting others than just the drug user or seller, when you complain it impacts other people too. thanks for confirming my point.
people ought to think about actions and the consequences maybe before doing them. nobody puts a gun to their head to take drugs, or sell them.
it isn’t up to the state to rehab people. just as it isnt to give people healthcare, or pay you when you arent working, or feeding your kids three times a day at school, or any other unconstitutional overreach the nanny state has expanded into.
it is to protect people by keeping the peace, to administer justice, and to punish wrongdoers. government is not designed or equipped to do charity, teach your kids, do every social welfare program one can think of, plus be your own personal conscience.
