Powercrazy posted:A large portion of citizens in Connecticut are felons because of a knee-jerk reaction to sandy hook, and the War on Drugs exists because of a knee-jerk reaction from some politicians in the late 60's through the 80's. Wasn't the "War on Drugs" just building on a preceding culture of racism and FUD, similar and related to the sentiments that spawned Prohibition around 1900-1930?

TapTheForwardAssist posted:While the glib answer would just be "no loving way", it's more nuanced than that. Decriminalization is still a huge improvement. In Portugal, for example, it's not a crime to have under 10 days supply of a drug (more than that and they assume dealing and it's a crime). So it's not "yay legal coke!" but rather if you get caught with coke they'll take it away, maybe fine you, and require you to attend meetings about how coke is bad, talk to a drug counselor, etc. How do they measure "10 days supply"?

KillHour posted:"Consume" has multiple definitions. You are arguing a different one than I am. In the context of drugs, it generally means to introduce into your body. Lead paint is not consumed in that sense of the word. Do you think house painters wear gas masks?
