That sounds like the gun grabber hysteria that if we 'legalise' citizens carrying guns then we'll have a return to the wild west with shootings every day on every corner.

A poor analogy. Guns are not addictive.

Neither is true.

And my statement certainly is true. Anything one endorses, or makes easier, one will get more of. Look at *any* example, and it is always the same.

"No-fault" divorce - There's a good one... Make divorce easy to do, divorces go through the roof. Legalize abortions - BOOM! abortions skyrocket. Legalize gambling, suddenly there's a slot machine in every mini-mart, and you can't find a decent place to eat without those bloody machines going off in the background. Why would drugs be any different?

It is all about mainstreaming the worst of mankind's vices, things which have not been native here, nor in polite society historically. It isn't liberty. It is libertine, and it is wrong.

No, good analogy.

Just as the gun grabbers are wrong, so are the Reefer Madness hyperbolists.

Curren drug laws not only increase drug abuse they make criminals out of medical patients ala Rush Limbaugh.

Designer drugs are a direct result of the WOD, attempting to skirt the law by slightly altering the chemical structure of other illegal drugs.

The WOD also corrupts police and the judiciary.

Nice to see where your priorities are when you defend the WOD.

It is about individual freedom and liberty. This is...well was...a free country or was founded to be one.

Divorce isn't relevant to this discussion but just because one isn't easy to obtain doesn't mean than those involved are healthier than those who can get divorced.

Did you crib that from a Brady Bunch screed against gun violence, or did they crib it from you?
