The high cost of drug use is because it is illegal and the price is
artificially inflated to line the pockets of those in the manu. and distr.
of the illegal drugs. If they were not illegal, they could be sold for
less than alcohol.

The criminal eliminate would hate to see them decriminalize drugs, they only
make money because they are illegal.

Your tax dollars at work!

Who cares if someone is hurting themselves?

Because drug use often results in crimes on others to obtain money to
support the habit, especially with hard drugs like cocaine.


Quiz time, Jim. Think about violence related to the manufacture,
transport and sale of alcoholic beverages. When is the last time you
heard of that kind of violence SPECIFICALLY related to booze?


That has nothing to do with Fred's question. Nice try.


It has everything to do with it. But, I'm not surprised you missed it.
Hint: Forget the words "drug use" and think about the word "crimes". Or,
substitute "violence".


If you do not see the correlation between hard drug use and crimes against
others that is your problem Joe. The subject of the thread has to do with
cocaine, not alcohol.
