I'm sure you think you're being humourous. Let me know when your sister gets raped and thrown out a window by someone who is high. Then we'll talk.

No, I am sick and tired of seeing the Constitution get stomped for the sole purpose of keeping people from using drugs.

I don't use drugs, and I wouldn't if they were legal. But I think the amount of money we spend and rights we surrender aren't worth it.

His sister is much, much, much likelier to be attacked by somebody who's drunk than by somebody who's high. I guess we should ban alcohol. And spend billions of dollars enforcing the prohibition. And trample all over civil liberties to do so. And accept the fact that huge quantities of money will now be flowing to criminal organizations rather than legitimate businesses to supply the demand. And that all of those illicit dollars will go untaxed. Sounds like a great solution to me.

You are crazy. It is ILLEGAL to rape someone, just like to is illegal to take drugs.

Life just frightens the hell out of you, doesn't it.

” I'm sure you think you're being humourous. Let me know when your sister gets raped and thrown out a window by someone who is high. Then we'll talk.”

I fail to understand this argument. In my mind the crime here is the rape and assault. If you state that it was because the person was under the influence I would agree the sentence should be increased if you are under the influence.

As it is, making it illegal to be under the influence is too much big brother for my taste.
