Deaths due to pot overdose are .... zero. You don't find potheads stealing, robbing or assaulting to get their weed, driven by a physical addiction. Not so with the addictive drugs like heroin. Murder, rape and assault are not crimes against yourself. Same reason I do not care about gay marriage. Personal choice. Heroin addicts have a significant impact on others, including co-workers, friends, family, hospitals, social services and more. We all pay for the help that many, if not most get. They need the help. The suppliers/pushers need to be in prison. Legalizing heroin use doesn't solve a thing. Pot, I can understand. It's not chemically addictive and is not mind warping in a permanent way like heroin is. |

It is a complicated issue but it is clear the "war on drugs" is not accomplishing anything but making us the most incarcerated population in the world. The attempt to confuse drugs with rape is ridiculous. Junkies may commit a lot of petty theft but the serious crime (murder) is ancillary to the dealers, not the users. People steal to buy all sorts of things and the guys who have guns are not likely to be junkies stealing for a fix. They would just sell the gun. Aren't we still a nation of laws? |
