anyone who thinks it should be legal to use and manufacture meth and other junk should just do us all a favor and move away its worthless scumbag junkies and pushers who make legalizing mj harder for the rest of us. people are warped i havent heard one good justification for legalizing hardcore drugs and dont give me any of that cliche bs it would save government funds because no gives a crap how much the govt spends junkies should be locked up as they will steal and and sell to your kids to keep their habits alive!
Here's your justification:
The government has NO BUSINESS telling us what we can and can't put in our bodies, even if it's "bad" for us. Especially when their definitions of "bad" are so arbitrary as to allow use of a DEADLY substance (tobacco), yet disallow use of a nonlethal drug (THC) and put people in jail for it.
Your so-called "hardcore" drugs have been illegal for decades, and their production and use hasn't slowed down one bit.
the mere fact that prohibition is a HUGE FAIL is justification enough to stop putting people in jail for using drugs. Any drugs. Period.
Addiction is a sickness, not a crime.
It's not as if Mexico were the first country to do this, either. Portugal decriminalized the use of all drugs almost a decade ago, and the UN PRAISED Portugal this year for the huge strides they've taken in reducing drug use and drug-related crime. The only reason it's such a big deal that Mexico is following suit is because Mexico shares the border with the US, and the US has seen a lot of drugs and drug-related violence spilling over the border from Mexico.
