Drugs should be legal because they are fun and the government shouldn't be allowed to dictate to us what we can put in our body.

They're also very dangerous. I think society should have a say in what's sold at the shops near our homes.

they wont be as much fun if they are legal because breaking the law makes it a better high

The vast majority of defensive gun uses occur within 7 yards. Within that range, a man with a knife can close the gap and kill you faster than you can draw and fire unless extremely practiced/skilled. I'd think Americans would understand this concept.
Sebastian Perry
Perfect example. Man that's perfect.

Drugs should be illegal because you become a degenerate faggot who can no longer control his urges, emotions or even motoric functions and makes you become a liability to society.
Kevin Collins
Drugs damage society. Drug use is inherently narcissistic. It's a "victimless crime" in the same way that dumping radioactive waste into the water supply is a "victimless crime".
Drugs are immoral.
Michael Green
> The vast majority of defensive gun uses occur within 7 yards
7 yards when the shot is fired or 7 yards when the "action" starts?
Good chance the distance is larger but the guy manages to draw his gun when the assailant is getting closer than 7 yards.
Cameron Johnson
> Victimless crime
Depending on the drug it turns you into a lazy fucking faggot or an addict making you extremely unproductive which damages society
I am not going to pay taxes to support weedfags sleeping all day in their couch.

Legalize all drugs but have cruel severe punishment for anyone who commits crimes under the influence. That way you have actual liberty instead of pretending we all hate drugs while accepting constant drunken violence and degeneracy as 'normal'.

Drugs should remain illegal because massive companies are going to put some really bad shit in our weed if its made legal. Then we'll see a cigarette situation all over again.
Plus, it's not as fun, going into a store and buying weed. There's no adventure in that. It's not 'cool,' you don't need any connections. It sucks.

Gavin Harris
Agreed. Drug users claim that it's a "victimless crime" because they are narcissists. They assume that, because they personally are not victims, there are no victims at all.
Like I said, it's like dumping radioactive waste in the water supply. There's no immediate direct victim there - but fast forward a few months and you'll see the damage that has been done. We're all the victims. Just like with drugs.
Xavier White
It's not stuff people normally think about in places where concealed carry is disallowed to law-abiding citizens. Even in Canada, with one of the highest firearm ownership rates in the world, a significant portion of the population has never even held a real firearm before. With how they are portrayed in media, it can be easy to form a misguided opinion about them and their use.
You guys make nice guns, btw. I really want to get myself a nice Hi Power.

But he's right about the dangers of drugs. They are dangerous to society and they should be illegal.
He's wrong to blame drugs for things like terrorism and kidnapping, but he's right that they're damaging the fabric of society.

Hitchens has an absolutely naive cartoon outlook on drugs, he thinks any interaction with them whatsoever = doom. It's like believing everyone who drinks is a raging alcoholic but he's got no answer for it so he just goes 'stop bringing it up I win reeeeeeeee'. He's alright on some things but on this he's a clown and people just lap it up because he's le based morality man and doesn't have to have any integrity

Steroids should be legal insofar that GPs can prescribe a low supplemental dose if the patient wishes. Doc can prescribe PCTs and supps, oral or IM, and people can benefit fRom being much healthier mentally and physically

There are no real be benefits to drugs like molly, coke, pep etc. There are a lot of downsides, trafficking / fabricating and social/ psychological issues with the use of said drugs.
It's all fun and games to expirement until you hit the state of depression due to shallow unrewarding life and hit dat brain damage.

In that case people who use drugs should receive zero public healthcare. I don't want to pay because you fucked up your own health, junky.
Jason Parker
>make an argument in favor of drugs
Occassional use of drugs harms nobody. Removal of its black market stops crime. Creating a legal market makes money that can be used to benefit community. Limits on how much can be bought. Require being on a list to legally use drugs. Want to be degenerate? Fine, but expect occasional visit from police/social worker.
Parker Flores
I'm not in favour of using drugs, I just think it's incredibly arrogant to decide on other people's behalf what dangers they're allowed to risk or not. It's also total hypocrisy unless you believe the state should be tracking and punishing anyone who might even potentially harm society in some way. Like I said above, shoot thieving junkies and violent drunks and leave everyone else to their business.
Jason Jenkins
It does wonders for neuropathic pain, though. I'd rather take CBD than morphine.
Jason King
>If it doesn't affect me and only me (and only in the immediate short term), then there are no victims.
How about anti-competitive behaviour (monopoly) laws?
I mean, there are no immediate victims of monopolistic practises either, but eventually you'll find that the monopoly will start jacking up the prices, actively preventing competition, and lowering the quality of the products. Society is damaged in the long term. But no one is directly hurt in the immediate short term, so let's get rid of anti-competitive practise laws then shall we?

It's completely arbitrary. The best outcome is the best outcome. Strict drug laws lead to the best outcome ie people not being unhappy degenerate drug addicts

Now you're just sperging and arguing against shit nobody even implied, get it together
Where does it stop though? If you don't leave any room at all for individual liberty you're basically saying you trust the state to force everybody to live a good life. I for one don't want to live wrapped up in cotton wool, I'm not a child. And like I already said I'm not saying 'drugs r grate maaaaan' I'd gladly gas all the junkies in my hometown but they're the price you pay for not living in a totalitarian nanny state.

Not being allowed to take drugs is not "living in a totalitarian state" stop being such a fucking drama queen. Every first world country is a drug infested shit hole, I'd rather live under stricter rule than have to deal with that.

Drug laws are ineffective at preventing drug abuse and disincentivize people from actually getting help to deal with addiction for fear of losing their human rights.
So anything short of killing them outright is "mild" to you? It sounds like the tree of liberty will drink well off of you.
Alexander Hughes
M8 I've explained several times now that I'm not just talking about drugs, I'm talking about the justifications for blanketly prohibiting them and how they could be abused. I hate discussing this because people just dig their heels in and don't even fucking read what's been said
Jeremiah Ortiz
weed doesn't make you paranoid, the thought of being arrested because you are smoking weed makes you paranoid.
Evan Collins
>Drug laws are ineffective at preventing drug abuse
Wrong. Look at Philippines. They have extremely low rates of drug use because of their strict laws. We actually give drug addicts money and healthcare in Europe and we have extremely high rates of drug use.
>disincentivize people from actually getting help to deal with addiction
If you've ever met an addict you'd know it is not worth the resoruces helping them. I've on several occasions tried to help alcoholics, junkies, coke heads, they all spit in your fucking face when you try to help. It's not worth the resources.
>So anything short of killing them outright is "mild" to you?
Giving them money, free paraphernalia and free access to clinics and promotion in TVs and movies is "mild" treatment, yes it is.
Connor Cooper
Everything can be abused though? Drug use is an example of individual liberty being abused.

Trying to force shit on them isn't going to work, but when they want to get help but can't because they'll be prosecuted instead, that's fucking stupid.
