It’s really just a gigantic multi-billion dollar cash cow for politicians. They LOVE the war on drugs and the humongous cash dump it has become.

So says you, however they are a crime so people that participate are criminals. It is really easy to stay out of jail. Don’t do illegal things. Its not that hard.

Prohibition has religious undertones, specifically against Catholics and some Lutherans. I’m not sure what religion cocaine is used in?

Do you really feel this way? That all our laws are just? I’m not talking just about drugs here though, maybe you are.

So I assume that if you come to a stop sign at 3am and there is nobody else for a mile in any direction, you still completely stop every time, right? And if not, surely you write a confession of the wrongdoing to the police and pay the appropriate fine, right? After all, the law MUST always be followed.
And you know, it’s illegal to use a name other than your own online. All of us on this forum, with VERY few exceptions, are violating that law. Next time you post, it will be with your full name I presume.

I think this a very valid argument of everyone who just will follow the law because its the right thing to do.
Just follow your master blindly no reason to think for youreself or question authority

I agree mostly with the first post. It is the law, follow it. If you do not like the law, try to do something about it. Also, about the stop sign thing, If I were to get caught I would obviously be upset if given a ticket but it was my fault for running the stop sign no one else’s. So you do the crime, you will have to pay the price whatever it may be.

Nope, I if I run the stop sign I have broken the law. However the difference between me and drug users is I don’t turn immediately around and bitch and moan because its not fair. I know I was violating the law and if I get caught so be it. I deal with my punishment and accept it. I am not telling yall to not smoke, just stop complaining when you get caught and acting like potheads in prison are victims. They made a choice to do something illegal and are getting punished for it. It is that simple.
And you are so miserably wrong about the using a screen name bit is laughable. I am not really sure where you pulled it being illegal to use a screen name from but it doesn’t exist.

That was honestly the stupidest thing I have ever seen. As someone who has friends and family in law enforcement as well as someone who has been arrested, I can honestly say that if you “resist” the cop should beat the shit out of you until you stop fighting. If he tells you to lie on your stomach and lie on your stomach. Get arrested and sort it out later. Even if you didn’t do anything, getting arrested is not that big of a deal. There job is to dangerous to deal with your stupid shit so just suck it up and be a man and not a punk. Every one I know that talks about how bad the police treated them usually was acting a fool. Common pattern there that you would think people would figure out. When cops react passively this is what happens.

If you haven’t harmed anybody but are thrown in jail, are you not a victim? If you aren’t, then surely the rest of society is a victim of nonsensical laws.
(as far as the above link goes, I can’t vouch for the validity of what it says, but I would assume at least the majority of it is true)
