What isn't a lame argument is the fact that there are crimes caused by influence of drugs. Violent crimes. Different drugs affect the mind in different ways. I just think that to ignore this fact and allow an open free for all drug use puts the general population to a greater risk . I just don't buy all the arguments of assumption that the only crime that involves drugs is because of the lack of money to get drugs . I think that argument is very assuming . I think it's assumption to believe legalization just makes all the bad stuff non existent . I've seen the bad side of drugs and it is not pretty .

As a former pot head I disagree...

But as a former security guard who damn near was killed by a whacked out crack head who thought our health club in Detroit was the impound lot and was ready to take my head off with a snow shovel unless I produced his car I agree.

When you hit someone in the balls and head with a bar from a weight bench and he doesnt flinch you know he is on something. It took 4 of Detroit's "finest" to throw him against the brick wall and cuff him.

As I stated previously, I come from a long line of "Village Drunks" and "Pill Heads". The "Affiliction" skipped me for some unknown reason. No wait, it is not unknown. When I was 16 I got drunker than a monkey and woke up the next morning and made the concious decision that this was a waste of time and money, just to feel like crap the next day.
I probably carry the genetic weakness to become addicted to alchohol or drugs, but also feel like I was lucky enough to be born with enough intestinal fortitude to make the decision to not fall prey to it.

I pose the following questions:

Why do you drink?

Why do you smoke weed?

Why do you do God knows what other substance that will alter your mind?

I drink some beer, sometimes. I like the taste.

I don't smoke.

I take no drugs, except for one prescription from a doctor.

I'm one of the most drug free people out here, excepting infrequent alcohol, I even avoid caffeine.

I might take 10 aspirins a year, despite constant joint pain.

Who said that?

Not me.

I've posted some of the many crimes created by drug prohibition and the use of illicit drugs.

Unfortunately, I see that also, frequently.

I bet I know a source of your knowledge, it's also one of mine.

That'll do it.

More should be as responsible.

My boy doesn't even know what curse words sound like from my mouth, as I learned from my Dad.
