Protection should never include persecution.

Protection in the case of drugs would involve proper education, and this isn't like a drug user cliche. People are going to use drugs even if they are illegal. The "evil" you saw from their use probably occured while they were illegal, and thus this did nothing to stop it. Really, a hammer to the side of my head could be considered "evil", but rather than hunt down hammer owners, it is common sense to use them for nails.

We should shift focus from fear and prosecution to compassion and education.



How does the war on drugs protect anyone?

Chowing down a Bacon Double Cheese Burger is a poor comparison to someone taking a hit of crack cocaine, or ripping up their veins with heroin. You don't fiscally hit rock bottom by eating at McDonald's. You don't catch hep B or HIV by eating at Burger King.

If you can use drugs without them interfering with your ability to have a successful life, go for it. I just haven't seen, yet, evidence of this possibility yet.

See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs, man.
