I don't give a crap if it's not harmful--it's still bothersome. And in this valley the air pollution's bad enough to simulate a life of secondhand smoking as it is, so I don't need to take any more bad air than I have to breathe to live.
No one seems to read what I write. There are a lot of places like New York that have public smoking bans. I never, ever get caught up in situations where I'm stuck indoors with cigarette smoke. Impose this concept onto legalized drugs and bam. No more whining about OMG MY LUNGZ.
The ideal situation is that you have drug "bars" so to speak. People go in, do what they gotta do, and then regulate it so that they can't leave until they are suitable to drive.
And if you're concerned about your stupid cousins killing themselves from drugs, then your cousin is an idiot. Innocent bystanders who don't do drugs now wouldn't run out and do it just because it's legal. They don't do it because they know its bad for you. Seriously, find me one person who is like lol i wuld luv 2 do coke but i dont wana cuz its ilegal lmao. Drugs are ridiculously easy to obtain in today's day and age. It's not a matter of its legality, its a matter of the fact they're bad for you.
As for the subject of marijuana, it's more or less been decriminalized in most states.
See what I don't understand is that people constantly baww about the government infringing on their rights. People who want to do drugs should have that right. It's a key idea of capitalist, darwinian philosophy. We should have the liberty of free will. It's our own bodies and we should have the right to do what we want to them. Sound familiar? I don't see how you can advocate abortion as a natural right but not the choice of doing drugs or not.
As I said, the government has better things to do than hound people over drug activity. There would be LESS crime with the legalization of drugs because then it becomes less of a turf aspect as well. Drug dealers can no longer claim an area for themselves since it's a piece of the market at that point. Because they're competing with a nonexistant figure, they physically can't fight with it and produce crime.
And a similar concept to this, prostitution should also be legalized for similar reasons. Of course I bet a lot of you will turn coat instantly and ZOMG YESS PROSTISTUES and immediately love the idea due to, ahem "personal" interests.
