So how much do we spend on the drug war? Billions a year. How much do we spend on puting people in prison fighting the drug war? Billions. Now tell me again how you conservatives hate spending money. I bet you even hate it more when it is spent on a lost cause. Oh thats right you only hate entitlement spending but what is prison other that taking care of people sitting on their butt?
Maybe it would be a good idea to explain what you mean by spending billions on the drug war. Are you suggesting all prescription drugs be sold over the counter, needing no Dr. approval, because many prescription drugs are sold on the black market. Is this part of the billions you say are spent on the drug war.
Are you suggesting that any prescription drug be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting that opium be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting heroin be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting cocaine be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting Barbiturates be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting Methadone be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting LSD be sold over the counter to anyone at any age?
Are you suggesting Anabolic steroids be sold over the counter to anyone at any age.
Are you suggesting that any athlete be able to take any drug at anytime to enhance their level of performance?
The point is, I have no idea what you mean by "how much do we spend on the drug war", first try and explain what drugs are you talking about. All of the above and then some or just one drug. What is it. Because I have no idea what your talking about.
Please tell me just how you liberals feel about letting anyone at any age get any drug they want just by asking. Tell me just how much money are we going to save by allowing any and all drugs to be given to anyone at any age? I would sure like to know.
