It's about this post where I determined you are trolling or really uninformed. either case, I don't see any point in continuing beyond this response and perhaps your final comment.
"Well and truly punished" has been done. Harsh sentences were implemented for some ridiculous small amounts of drugs. What happened was not one person who used or wanted to use stopped doing it or trying it. The burden on the tax payer for housing these people for non violent crimes was quite enormous. It also caused overcrowding which led to earlier release of some violent offenders in the mix. So there you have it. And while I could say "conservatives are disgusting in that they can't grasp the fact their stone age concept of stoning offenders and throwing more money at the problem if it hasn't worked in 40 years,they are too dense to comprehend it. " It's probably just that they are too lazy to research the data and aren't really interested in what actually is and isn't working and they just want to punish people that they don't approve of.
Then you go into the ludicrous "make all crimes misdemeanor " which underscores that some conservatives can't figure out the difference between personal rights and societal rights. I should have the right to end my life if I am in chronic pain and completely miserable in my life. You believe the government should have control over that. I believe if I want to smoke pot, that is none of the governments business, you believe they should regulate what I put into my body. I advocate for regulating the behavior.. you smoke pot and you are under the influence and drive, you go to jail. Same as alcohol.
I'm not "trolling". There's nothing here I want to catch.
What I have done is simply show just how ludicrous the libtard mentality of making something legal so they don't have to arrest people is. That you refuse to understand this is not my problem. It is there for all to see and yet people want what they want. They will play moral limbo until they reach a point they won't stoop to. Yet.
What I demonstrated was to reveal just how ridiculous liberals are when it comes to crime. Demonstrate the absurd by presenting something even more ridiculous, i.e., the libtardian way of saying "let's decriminalize something so it's no longer wrong to do, that way we don't fill out jails with the innocent" and I showed you just how far it could be taken. You don't like that because it is valid. People want what they want and if something is illegal that they want to do, they will whine until it is made "acceptable". Pfft.
Some people feel that they have a right to be societal leeches. That it's their body, their mind and they can do whatever they feel like even when doing so infringes, no, takes from the quality of the life of others. Want to get stoned? Fine. Just don't ask society to pay for it and your mistakes. Want to have an abortion(s)? Fine, just don't ask society to pay for it and your mistakes. Want to have multiple children? Fine. Just don't ask for society to pay for them and your mistakes. Want to be a drunk? Fine. Just don't ask for society to pay for it and your mistakes.
Want to be a drug addict, thief, rapist, murderer, et al? Fine. Just don't expect to be coddled and told it's not your fault and be treated like you're worthy of more. Expect to be incarcerated, dried out, taught a trade and when you've served your time released to become a productive member of society. If you're a rapist or murderer, expect to be put away or put to death.
You get the idea.
As for your last gasp statement about your right to end your life because of pain (or the reality is for whatever reason you choose to give), no one can stop anyone from doing that except the person themselves. But you already know that. I've seen the results of what happens in the real world and if you are LEO, retired or not, so have you, the difference between such as you and I is that I don't need a red pill to see outside the Matrix but you're swallowing the blue ones like there's no tomorrow.
Click your heels three times and say, "just make it all legal, just make it all legal, just make it all legal"...
