And sadly, you're right. Take for example cocaine or heroine. While either could be grown and produced here in the US if it were legalized... it could still be grown and produced overseas cheaper. So, we legalize it, we set it up to be domestically produced and controlled, taxed, etc. The drug lords will produce it and sell it cheaper, and so they still make money. Not nearly as much, but they still make money.

Have you any idea where the American pharmaceutical corporations obtain their Herion and Cocaine presently? Do you know the price differential between pharmaceutical and illicit Cocaine and Heroin? Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with these necessary facts before you make such illinformed posts.
And what exactly is your point here... or do you have one? I don't see you presenting any "facts" though you make every effort to appear to be an expert on the topic. Are your trying to say cocaine could be produced domestically cheaper than drug lords could do so? Or is this just you arguing with me for the sake of arguing. Because really, if you're such an expert, let's see the financial breakdown... go on... where's your numbers?

And because of the addictive nature of these drugs and the compusions that come with those addictions... people will do strange things to get those drugs.
quote:
Should you choose to avail yourself of the pharmacopia you might discover that Cocaine is not physiologically addictive and that Nicotine is far more physiologically addictive than Heroin.
That's your opinion... however, since you seem to be such a stickler for scientific accuracy then you ought to know that cocaine is both physiologically and psychologically addictive. But then I'm going to guess that youre response will be that that's all a lie told by "them" in order to repress people and keep an otherwise harmless stimulant out of the common people's hands... or something to that effect. Again... that's your opinion if that's where you want to go... however, I've sat with individuals going through withdrawals from cocaine addictions... I know better.

Problem is that the problem isn't drug addiction... its stupidity... and there's no cure for that either. Closest we can get is eliminating some of it from the gene pool.
quote:
Are you suggesting that we execute all stupid people? If so then who gets to make the decission as to who is too stupid to breath. If I remember my history correctly the Nazis tried that one...is that what you are suggesting?
Oh its far simpler than that... stupidity has a way of eliminating itself. I don't have to decide who is too stupid to breathe, expecially not when the meth addict is convulsing on the floor no longer able to breathe on their own. Leave them to their own devices and they'll take themselves out of the gene pool. The question, since it seems to escape you... is one of whether or not society is willing to allow that to happen as it will, or if it will continue to try an intervene in an endless effort to try to control human behavior and protect people from themselves, an ongoing effort to try and legislate morality, intelligence and standards of living... rather than letting people do as they will... and learn to fully accept the consequences of their own behavior. That, was the point of my bit of political sarcasm... which if too witty for you... well... just go hit your bong dude, it'll be okay.
