Are Illegal Drugs Worse Than Legal Ones?

Claim: "Drug manufacturers need 10 years in the slammer."

CTV response: I don't support meth, but I also don't support outright prohibition either. Did you know that during Prohibition, some people even just transporting alcohol were considered such scum that they were simply executed? What would you say if the same were done today for people working in the fast food industry? Or for those working in the now-legal alcohol industry? How about people who sell cars or are in the automotive business? Vehicular deaths total over 30,000 per year, that's MORE than ALL ILLEGAL DRUGS COMBINED! And if you include the deaths from LEGAL prescriptions ever year, it's far greater than even that.

If you're going to talk trash about drug manufacturers, try thinking of the legal drugs people are popping every day before they get behind the wheel of their vehicle. The law of supply and demand dictitates that you cannot curb the desire, and you cannot regulate morality. If someone commits a real crime like theft, assault, murder or whatever else, then we will no doubt punish them under the law as required, but those who choose to consume a drug without harming others, should be left alone. That is true whether it's tobacco, any type of alcohol, legal prescription drugs, cannabis, any caffeine products, or any other drug legal or otherwise.

But I can understand where you're coming from; it's much easier to see things in 2 dimensions, in black and white, instead of thinking critically and logically. I know many people are willfully ignorant and want to keep their head stuck in the sand, but I am not that type of person, and cannot blindly go with the flow of the lowest common denominator groupthink. Hopefully we will see a change soon in this country when it comes to personal responsibility and personal freedom.
