I guess I'm just an inherently selfish person, but to me the problem with drugs is not addiction, but the associated violence and crime that comes with being addicted to a drug that is not readily available at a reasonable price.

Making the drugs legal will probably make them cheaper, and therefore reduce the amount of violence and crime associated with drug addiction, and thus pose less of a threat to me.

I realize that people do suffer horrible fates due to their drug addictions. But these are people who wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire, so I don't see why I should be unduly concerned with their fates, as opposed to mine.

Since you're obviously stuck on your wowser ways, I have only one request.

Stop spewing about the heavy taxes required to pay for your big government approach to social problems and the crime fostered by your war mentality solution.

I would appreciate it if you whould start making some voluntary payments to the Federal government - so people like myself, who are financial victims of your police state approach, will be less impacted.
