(1/6) I've talked to a lot of people about decriminalization, and even legalization, and some of them persist in the belief that I am some hard-core addict with a needle constantly hanging out of my arm. I do have addictions, the biggest among them being caffeine and PlayStation.pic.twitter.com/zP0PRxxzWm
(2/6) But those opposed to decriminalization always cite the same argument: drugs are bad. That may be true, but that's not enough of a reason to continue these prohibition laws. "No one is blameless but we're all without shame. We fight the fire while we're feeding the flame."
(3/6) Here are a couple of questions to consider on this subject: (1) How many people are currently languishing in prisons all over the country for simply having a plant (i.e., cannabis) - not using it, simply having possession of it? Who was the actual victim in that instance?
(4/6) (2) By decriminalizing drugs, how many of our tax dollars could be saved - and re-directed to other arguably more worthy causes like rehabilitation - by not needing to imprison those whose only crime was possession or use of contraband?
(5/6) The point of decriminalizing drug use is not to attempt to make drugs into a good thing. The point is that we should not be trying to control people's choices and decisions through law. It's been tried before and it failed spectacularly (i.e., the 18th and 21st Amendments).
(6/6) Until an actual crime is committed, one in which someone other than the user is harmed, it seems that prohibition laws like these only serve to empower the state. "I know perfect's not for real. I thought we might get closer, but I'm ready to make a deal." Prove me wrong.
