After a long peaceful , law abiding life ; people should have the choice to make thier last days as comfortable as possible. I am not saying that they should be 'stoned' driving down the freeway ; of course there should be precautions to protect the general public . Side: Yes
Drugs should not be illegal. Making drugs illegal causes more harm than good. Drug prohibition breaks up families, bankrupts people, makes people homeless, causes explosions and accidents, kills cops and innocent people, creates criminal gangs and gang violence, increases the availability of drugs for children, increases racial profiling, makes drugs look sexy, is responsible for bribery and corruption, funds terrorist activity, takes drugs away from the sick and dying, decreases scientific study. Drugs are a health issue not a criminal issue and should be treated as such. So how do we keep people from using drugs without locking them up? We use the same tactics that we have used successfully to keep people from smoking cigarettes. We respect their dignity and we tell them the truth. It's cheaper and much more humane. Side: yes
