Legalize all drugs? Bring down gun deaths.

not the GOVERNMENT, idiot. SUPPLY AND FUCKING DEMAND. do you realize that during the prohibition, alcohol prices shot up as much as 700%? when the SUPPLY dwindles and DEMAND remains the same, prices go UP. did you even go to college?

Idiot? Awwwwwww getting frustrated ?  didn't I just tell you heroine and meth are CHEAP and they are prohibited? if you legalize them they wont get any cheaper get it? drugs are cheap no one said anything about drug habits

And we're not talking about the Volstead act of the twenties , we're talking about readily available cheap drugs in the U.S. in the 21st Century , both heroine and meth and illegal yet the prices are insanely low why? competition

just because some anonymous dude on the internet told me a vague statement doesn't mean it's a fact, especially when my own personal experience dictates otherwise. are you really so arrogant that you think you checkmated my argument by stating some vague anecdotal statement? i dont even know how to respond to that.

and for the record dozens of new unscheduled designer drugs hit the market on a daily basis, and it takes the government years in most cases to identify and ban them, yet society somehow manages to not disintegrate into chaos and anarchy. jwh-018 was around for like 8 years before government banned it. hell cp-47,497 was around for decades, and yet people didn't smash windows and loot the streets to fund their synthetic cannabinoid habits. hell i can go to my local CVS right this minute and buy a whole bottle of off-brand cough syrup, pure DXM, not even polystirex or the acetaminophen mix, and get fucked up on it with zero negative side effects to myself, anyone can, but most people don't. people don't suddenly decided to get fucked up on some new drug just because it became legal. it doesn't work that way. it just doesn't. i'm sorry but you're wrong, on many levels.

i'm going drinking with my buddy now, peace

Ironic yet you're trying to pass off your anecdotal evidence as fact as well , yet it's wrong when I do it?

Sounds like you already started lol

LOL, you're so close-minded it's not even funny. lots of drugs are legal in the netherlands and they don't have any of these issues. your argument of "oh it's too dangerous, people can't handle it" is a jackbooted, statist thug mentality. it's the kind of mentality that will eventually spill over to other things. eventually they'll come after your guns too, oh look at sandy hook look at aurora, no one needs high capacity magazines, no one needs ar-15's no one needs glocks, no one needs "sniper rifles", no one needs a crossbow, etc etc etc. then cars too, oh, no one needs a 1200 hp sports car, no one needs a car that can go over 80mph period, look at all the deaths car accidents cause.

you don't just conveniently draw the line and take away peoples' freedom wherever your "morals" dictate. you take the good with the bad, or you take the statist nanny government approach and let uncle sam rule your life. the cost/benefit issue isn't even part of the argument. the argument is freedom vs oppression.

and the Netherlands do have a drug problem, and a suicide problem as well...

Again, there is a cultural difference...
Americans believe that they have to the freedom to do what they want to do, and to hell with anybody who says differently. Once you understand that, then you will understand what I'm talking about. Until then, it's like talking to a brick wall.

I'm not closed minded, because I deal with this sort of stuff everyday. I see drug dealers, drug users,
I see the thefts, the crimes that are perpetrated...
