The war on drugs is bullshit

Virtuoso - Ant does have a pont. It's ok to take some liberties when typing on an internet message forum, but your posts are extremely difficult to read because there is no structure. Reading your posts hurts my eyes. And thats without any regard to the actual content.

Im drunk so if dont make sense just ignore it, but does the same opinion hold true for all drugs. Like crack of example. If you think someone that is smoking crack only affects that person smoking the crack, you are wrong. Crack has ruined families and neighborhoods. You think when all these rappers are joking when they say crack heads steal everything in sight and sell it you are wrong. crackheads will steal gas caps off of cars just to sell them for a couple of bucks. The war on drugs is a joke, yes i agree. But to leagalize everything aint the answer either.

I agree. Drugs never affect only one person.
And I believe sometimes, depending on situations, drug addicts are better gettin' locked up, for their own good. Even if nobody wants it that way.
The war on drugs is fuckin' just sad.

Yeah that happen sometimes when I write things down quickly and post without reading over it first. My first response on this thread was very difficult to read it hurt my eyes also now I have re-read it!

Ok here is the first presented in a more understandable format lol
I agree with that, I used to think of drug users even cannabis users as criminals because that is the way they were portrayed on television. Now I have finally come round to the realisation of why the hell would you punish someone with an addiction to a drug? if they are only causing harm to themselves, well so be it. The help should be there, to rehabilate them as opposed to being needlessly spent on persecuting them. Plus when it comes to drugs such as cannabis, I did not realise that there are other uses for the plant besides just smoking it, namely it's a good alternative for cotton and a good source of fuel. Of course the media never spoke about these aspects so I along with most other people was kept completely in the dark.
In terms of the harder drugs, it's a difficult one I think there has to be enforcement of the supply, but the users should not be prosecuted. There are those who argue for a complete legalisation of drugs and have the drugs regulated, however that is an unrealistic goal, with many of these drugs being potentially fatal to a first time user.

I'll help you a little more:
Version 3
I agree with that. I used to think drug users were criminals because they were portrayed that way on TV. But now I think we should help drug users instead of punishing them. If they aren't hurting others, they should be free to do as they please. Also, there are many uses for cannabis that aren't recreational. It's a good alternative for cotton and a source of fuel. Unfortunately, the media never mentions these qualities.
Dealing with harder drugs is a more difficult issue. I think we should regulate the supply, but the users should not be prosecuted. Some people think we should legalize all drugs, but that is an unrealistic goal. A lot of drugs are potentially fatal for a first time user so that is not a valid option.
