Then, you're a liberal and fool. Legalizing drugs will increase the number of users, increase the number of innocent victims killed by drugged-out freaks and increase crime. No, we don't need to diminish the quality of life in the US so greedy politicians can have more money to spend.

Legalizing drugs will [...] increase crime.

Nonsense; it will drastically DECREASE the crimes committed to get money for drugs.

Legalizing drugs alcohol will increase the number of users, increase the number of innocent victims killed by drugged-out drunk freaks and increase crime.

There I fixed it for you. Welcome to the 1920's.

Good thinking. Now start pushing for the elimination of 90% of the taxes and stop the nonsense about substances.

Then, you're a totalitarian and a supporter of government execution of American citizens without trial by jury. You're actually the liberal because you apparently support BIGGER government to tell American citizens what they may and may not ingest into their bodies. How would you like it if I got government to force you to stop eating steak and chicken?

Cigarettes and alcohol are both legal, both of which are more addictive and more deadly than most [currently] illicit drugs.

If illicit drugs were legalized, would you start using them? Anyone who wants drugs now can get them, just at hyperinflated prices and of questionable manufacture.

You'd better take a look at the stats on how booze is destroying society. Much worse...on the order of several magnitudes.

Outlaw booze now!?

According to the federal Household Survey, there are more than 48 million Americans who use alcohol an average of one or more days each week of the year. This is more than the combined total number of Americans who have ever tried cocaine, crack, and/or heroin (29.7 million), and two and a half times the number of Americans who have used marijuana once in the last year (18.7 million).

Do you support the Federal War on Drugs?

[bc2]

how will legalized drugs increase crime?

I don't understand.

I see, anybody who disagrees with you is automatically a liberal and a fool? You think pretty highly of yourself.
