Quote:Fines for possessing chemically altered or refined drugs would have to be steep as a deep deterrent, such as an automatic 10-year prison sentence for possession or sales of if proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Why do I say this? Because I believe some drugs are simply too dangerous for people to use without a prescription, especially chemically altered and refined drugs (i.e. crystal methamphetamine, heroine - originally from the opium plant, LSD, etc). That's the way I'd change the system if I had my way.I was with you until right there.
So most drugs are just fine but you have decided there are still a few we should keep illegal? And your decision, of course, is so logical that we all are going to buy into it? :rolleyes: Just how does that differ from Prohibition, where the evils of that demon drink were so dangerous that we had to ban possession and use?
