Have you ever relaxed after work with a beer amongst your friends???....hmmm... fun and companionship. "Nothing good ever comes from drugs".
No, your statement is 100% false.
Nothing good ever comes from the abuse of drugs - now that's something I can agree with.
The trouble is, the "law" can't determine the difference - between abuse and non-destructive recreational use and as such is a VERY bad tool to use against the scourge of drug ABUSE.
I don't care if someone goes home and smokes pot after dinner.
I DO care if a crack addict robs my house.
The law doesn't differentiate between them - and THAT is why it is evil.
Our entire system of justice was set up to be "innocent until proven guilty". In the War on Some Drugs, you are assumed guilty - and that is both immoral and wrong. Yes, innocent people are hurt. They always are. As I am sure you know by your screen name, freedom isn't free - and sometimes it takes the blood of the most innocent. You can't protect everybody from everything - and most of all - you can't protect them from themselves. My nephew died from an OD, I am intimately acquainted with the evils of drug abuse.
But, I am MUCH more scared of the evil of losing my freedom to a nanny-state government.
Drugs, I can CHOOSE to do or not do them
I have no choice when the Federal government tells me to do something.
I prefer the freedom to choose.
