I'm convinced the town I work in is full of crazy people.

so by using that same logic, all recreational drugs should be outlawed because heroin, meth, and cocaine are
which means all drugs not used to treat medical conditions and prescribed by doctors (caffiene, alcohol, nicotine in tabacco, hell even over the counter cough syrup)

*Ahem* Non-regulated, recreational drugs.

Alcohol and nicotine should really be illegal if drugs are outlawed.

Why is alcohol and marijuana legal in certain countries, but most other drugs illegal in those same countries? Why did two states pass a law making Marijuana a legal recreational drug, but not all other drugs? There is a reason these "other" drugs are not allowed for recreational use in most countries, and it because of their addictive quality. My point in this whole discussion was if you take the all drugs should be legal/illegal defense, I don't agree because of "insert my argument". And if you as a reader are so one-sided to think all drugs should be legal, then clearly you've either never had experience with an drug-addict, never been a drug-addict, or you are a drug-addict, because if any of those were true, I'm willing to be you would know how bad someone can get in a mere matter of weeks with these addictive drugs and not only ruin their life, but the lives of those around them. I'm sure the same argument could be made for alcohol too, but my argument is based on the addictive quality of the drug itself AND the negative impact of the drug on the human body from light usage AND the negative impact on the environment from the manufacture of the drug. If you take these three aspects into consideration when looking into the logistics of which drugs should be legal or outlawed, I think you will come up with a short list of drugs that "should" be legal, and one's that should be off-limits.

And DeeBye, the same analogy works fine for guns. I'm not sure why you don't see the correlation, but I was a bit ranty in my last post. Heat, headache, making it hard to concentrate. Posts coming out shitty, sorry.

EDIT: In retrospect, forget this drug/gun analogy argument. It was a bad comparison anyhow. I don't know why, but all day I can't even look at the computer monitor without squinting, I keep seeing a blur when I look at a computer monitor, and it's giving me a headache bad! I can't even think straight from this headache, and I don't understand it because I don't recall this ever happening before. I can focus on anything IRL, but not on the freakin computer screen without it getting fuzzy. I should just go to bed.
