Can someone please tell me why legalizing recreational drugs and selling them in shops like we do liquor is a bad idea?

TIA.

Because Jesus died for your sins.

If someone has to explain to you why selling heroin at a convenience store is a bad idea, then you're probably not capable of furthering the discussion.

Hey man, if you want to be a junkie, who am I to get in your way? I can't stop you from becoming an alcoholic. Why should this be any different?

People like to impose their beliefs on other people. I say if you want to be a junkie and die, it might actually be good for society. Let idiots kill themselves off.

I think the argument is it makes it too easily accessible to kids who don't know better.

I don't even do drugs (besides alcohol) and I think drugs should be legal.

No, they can't, because it's not a bad idea.

what are you including in recreational drugs? Pot, i already live in Colorado and havent met one person who openly opposes it. as far as anything else i do, i would not feel right about open availability to blow , lsd, and shrooms.

As his role in the holy Trinity He invented marijuana, poppies, peyote producing cacti, and the coca plant. I think you're entirely wrong here.

I dunno, druggies will rob, steal, lie and sometimes kill to get a fix before sinking into severe detoxing, I think crime would sky rocket for a while.



Weed would be okay though IMO

I agree with sorantables overall premise but your point is flawed. Plenty of intelligent people who have a lot to contribute to society take a wrong turn. I don't think encouraging addiction for the better of society is a very sound argument. :lol.

Legal high end pot edibles could replace opiates.

Then reason they will never legalize drugs is that the police force is middle class welfare ; too many white with no talent make a living because drugs Re illegal

This is sickeningly true. The "war on drugs" is a fricking welfare program.

In Kentucky we even have "drug courts" that are supposed to help the convicted turn their lives around, unite with their families and become productive citizens. That hardly ever happens but the courts add judges, bailiffs, clerks, social workers, etc. to a burgeoning taxpayer liability.

All drugs should be legalized and taxed. Drug courts should be abolished.

Tax revenue from drugs could fund mental health programs that would find people who abuse substances in their attempts to deal with mental illnesses. Presently, Kentucky leads the nation in overdose deaths because our junkies lurk in the shadows.

We need to bring drug use out into the open, let the recreational user enjoy them and help those who become dependent upon them. It's a win-win for everyone.

Define "recreational drugs"? If pot only... well, I'd still be against it due to past experiences, but I wouldn't have a conniption fit over it. If cocaine, heroin, meth, etc., you're an idiot.
