Some of the things said are petty, but the issue isnt. Full drug legalisation would be 1 of the best things that could happen to the world.
Plus, this thread is pretty educational, if u wade through all the prohibitionist shite.

I assume you are referring to my lengthy statistic filled post. Most of it (all.. actually) stems from gubbiment collected information so it's accuracy is ... well, how accurate is the government ?

Your statistic is completely wrong too, the total of statistics that are true and false has to equal 100% and the third is an independant variable (a made up statistic can be true, though it's extremely unlikely). Also, I believe the nature of such a statistic makes it really nearly impossible to accurately project. I realize (or hope) it was a joke.

Remove all elements of socialized health care then I would be in 100% agreeance. Essentially, if you fuck your body up, you pay for it ... if you can't, than tough shit.

You do realize that the load on our economy right now is probably, no, definetely more than it would be if drugs were legalized and healthcare for drug users was still included. Not to mention we don't even have socialized health care in the states. Insurance isn't socialized, besides, insurance still covers alcoholics and smokers, does it not? Adjust accordingly...
If we did have socialized health care, a tax could be added to drugs to account for said problem. *If* that created a new 'black market' (undercutting prices...) then perhaps giving drug users socialized healthcare could be reviewed.

Of course, this is terribly off topic and this is my last post in this thread...

There would be far less cases of people fucking themselves up, because the drugs would be free of harmful additives, the users would always have clean needles or whatever is needed, overdoses would be unlikely as the exact potency is known and the drugs would come with instructions etc
And if experience is anything to go by, there would be less drug users too.
