So where are all the libertarian drug-users that usually come out of the woodwork on these threads when we discuss legalization of drugs?
Here we are! How well is the drug war going anyway? Almost won by now? If this guy had killed himself on a Harley would we be calling his dealership “enablers”? People make selfish stupid decisions, they waste God given talent and end up dead.If I want a motorcycle,a pistol or a bottle of whiskey I don’t feel I need a nanny to take away the right for my own safety. Thanks, I’ll make my own decisions, take my own risks and pay my own consequences.
I ride myself. Riding motorcycles is legal. And though I certainly enjoy riding, it’s not physically addictive.
One of the many problems with illegal drugs is, there only has to be one “choice” to use them — meth, heroin, crack, cocaine. After that the addiction takes over, and it really isn’t much of a “choice” anymore. But there certainly is a cost to continued use, to both the user and society at large.
Have you ever spent any time with a child that’s brought into this world by a drug-addicted mother? Talk about problems — all inflicted on an innocent human being, all because their mother chose to to something both stupid and illegal.
You don’t want to know what I’d do to these (libertarian?) dopers helping kids to “choose” this new drug called “cheese”.
Authorities say there have been 21 “cheese” deaths in the Dallas area since 2005
• Schools, police have begun campaign to try to stop the drug from spreading
• Middle schoolers cheer after detective says U.S. has the most drug users
