. But the only effective deterent to its use is drying out in jail.

i totally disagree... the DEA and the prohibition of all drugs is what is driving this drug business ....not the people doing the drugs but the profitability of either making them or distributing them for profit.

once you take that profit margin away ..there is no need to break into a persons home to find drug money ...because if they are free...you wont need any money to buy them....and because they are free..there will be no profitability to import them either....

it's all about the --->$$$$$$$$$$$$MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So, are you saying that they should legalize these drugs and then make them free or affordable? Wouldn't that just get more people hooked on them and increase unemployment and put more people on government programs? Somehow, I feel that I will end up spending more of my money to support the druggies, and that doesn't sit well with me. I have a novel approach to this problem. They could enforce the drug laws by ordering addicts into treatment programs like at Gosnold, or they can spend some real hard time at a pound your rear end prison. Then they can start enforcing immigration laws, and get rid of the illegals who pay little or nothing into social security. Finally, they can force welfare recipients who are able to work to find a job. If a welfare recipient gets a job, even if it is part-time, the government could supplement their income. If someone who is able to work decides that they don't want to, you take away their benefits. If they don't like it, they can move to Canada.

Raven thats what Sweden thought also. You must remember NEEDLE PARK! They legalized everything. They just ended up with so many more junkies than the rest of Europe it was a tragedy.

This is the original war on terror. This one has to be won before any other war can be. Drug dealers are truly the worlds greatest threats against peace.

Besides what I allready said the theory of "soldiering" here comes to mind and into play. Soldiering occurs when other higher performing individuals under-perform to hide/camoflage the activities of a lazy/sickly/not so intelligent person in the workplace by covering up for him/her by underperforming themsleves so that poor employee doesn't stick out. This happens because it is easier to slink down the slope than walk up the slope. This theory also transfers to drug use. Thier are many more people out there that would use drugs if they were legal and readily available in a pure unadulterated form. They are not legal for the most part, which keeps many potential addicts from starting to use. Think of the possibilities if heroin was legal.. The manufacturers of "narcan", the drug injected under the tongue by your local fire department paramedics that saves the overdosing addicts life would be a stock to invest in.
