A Viable Approach for Ending the War on Druigs?
    #15539936 -

I have revised the ideas. Updated: 12/24/11


Why or why not would these ideas work?

why there is reality and patterned, law-like consistency at all, rather than noise or non-reality is not a question physics answers. It's a question physics presupposes an answer to in order to provide other answers.

The war on drugs has made psychedelics illegal.

The war on addiction would legalize non-addictive psychedelic drugs.

Yay, another authoritarian would make substances that he prefers legal and those he finds distasteful illegal.

:tard:

Your brilliant solution would solve nothing. I look forward to the early demise of your writing career.

Hey orgone you should listen to this song... you might like it because people who are a lot smarter than I will ever be created it. If this is your first time hearing it, always remember who introduced you to it and why you were introduced to it. Thanks.

How can you claim it is shitty without even reading it? Maybe I am lying about the content it contains.

Your the one who first validated that I have a writing career to the universe. I will be eternally grateful to you. In a sense you just gave me employment. Too bad it doesn't pay at all and I took the job before you gave it to me... Is that selfish?

The problem with the whole argument is that it's impractical without creating a whole new sphere of government interference in people's lives, which is what we're ultimately trying to get rid of.

I mean, how is the government going to police addiction the same way it already can police transactions? What you're suggesting here would appear to necessitate the creation of new government agencies with the responsibility of monitoring and taking legal action in our emotional lives. No fucking way, sir. Unless I'm misreading your argument, I actually prefer the "war on drugs" to what you're suggesting.

Well think about what would actually happen...

OK addiction is illegal. Does that mean everyone is suddenly going to become informers for the man? No...

People will still be just as free to do what they want. You already have to be careful about who you let know about your illegal habits.

It would be impossible to determine if someone is an addict or not, the point of illegalizing addiction is the media demonizing addiction instead of drugs.

If you get out of control to a point where you are putting other people in danger, you go rob someone or someplace, you are still only doing what you would be doing anyways... But now if you get caught while planning to do the crime or in action of the crime, the crime of addiction would (ideally) outweigh other crimes in the mind of someone who has been successfully brainwashed into believing addiction is the problem, not the other things you may have done or been trying to do.

People would be MORE free to choose what to put into their bodies, as non-addictive drugs would be rescheduled by the dea.


I believe it is honestly a step in the right direction that both republicans and democrats could both view as being a better way.

I am not trying to appeal to one group of people. My intentions are good.

I also got banned from that website for 3 days for calling out a troll in their forums.

My point is merely that it is not a step in any direction, at all, until you can better explain what the change is going to look like.

Right now, you basically are telling us that all habits need to be outlawed, instead of only certain proscripted buying habits. (IE the buying of drugs.) I'm saying that law enforcement as we know it will need to change in order for it to be able to fight addiction as a social and emotional problem.

You give us a lot of highfalutin language in here but not really any actual rationalization for an idea that, in the absence of your own reasoning, is filled in by my own mind's paranoid fears of thought-police. And rightfully so, for you have provided no alternative explanation for how your idea would be executed.

I like the direction of your idea but it needs work desperately TBH. IMO you cannot make addiction legal any more easily than you can make breasts illegal, and if that were to happen I don't think I would want to live anymore.
