The answer, as always, is in education, and parents responsibility . Newsflash: if you raise your kids right, they don't turn into criminals, and they don't do drugs. Smack your momma for me.

actually i've never done drugs so you'll have to smack her yourself...guns are a little different though...people can use guns to do stupid things...you cant stick up the 7/11 with a bag of weed...lol
Trauma-san:
Man, you're dodging bullets.
You said Kids wouldn't do drugs if they were legal, because it's all about rebellion. I showed you that guns weren't illegal, but yet kids and everybody else still use them and break laws with them, and kill people with them, take them to school, blah blah blah. The simple fact is, many kids are dumbasses who need somebody to hold their hand and show them what right and wrong is. This is how we learn, somebody showed me right from wrong when I was a child, everybody needs that. Your argument about legalizing drugs so kids won't do them is rediculous without the kids being raised by proper parents so that they know drugs are harmful. The problem isn't that drugs are illegal, the problem is that parents aren't raising their kids properly. Legalize, tax, whatever, it still isn't changing the fact that the reason these kids make stupid decisions is because they have nobody in their life teaching them right from wrong. I feel that 30% or so of parents in america are doing a great job, 20% or so are doing the best they can, and the other 50% or so are totally failing their kids. I'm not making excuses for them, but the reason you have so many punks around today is because their parents didn't educate and develop them properly when they were children.
Don Breezio:
that is true...but only to a point...when kids are raised right they make better decisions yes...but if you look at any place where weed is legal their drug rate is much lower. the only plausible cause for that is that people either 1) dont like that its taxed, or 2) doesnt have as much of a thrill to it. and the crime rate in those places is much lower too...because weed calms you down...when was the last time some guy got high off weed and went and robbed a bank?
im not sayin it would have a huge effect on it...but i think it would lower the rate a little bit from what it is now which is better than nothing.
Trauma-san:
^ You have absolutely no proof that in those places, legalizing weed is the reason drug rates are lower. They could just as easily be educating their children better than we do in America. It wouldn't even be that hard, lol.
