You're such a dinosaur. The war on drugs has been a disaster. Time to re-orient the fight. Look at Portugal.  https://transformdrugs.org/blog/drug-decriminalisation-in-portugal-setting-the-record-straight

"The proportion of prisoners sentenced for drugs has fallen from 40% to 15%" Baaaa Haaa Haaa, that's HILARIOUS !  Well OF COURSE the amount of prisoners has dropped if they fcukin' legalized the drugs, like DUH. Fcuk those drug addicts, lock 'em up, throw away the key, the world's better off without them !  Yeah, I'm a dinosaur, but you can call me

There is something seriously wrong with you. Why would you cheer in favour of more incarceration if you've been shown that it is a worse solution to drug problems? Portugal's drug use is below the EU average. Drug related deaths are below the EU average. Are you going to tell me that's bad? Are you sick?

Yggdrasill - Cancer & diabetes are diseases.  Abusing illicit drugs isn't a disease, it's a lifestyle choice. People need to be held accountable for their actions, not patted on the head like little babies and told that what they did isn't their fault.  Gimmie a break man, like seriously....

So you'd rather continue with failed policies. Even if it doesn't solve the problem. Even if it costs taxpayers more money. Even if it means more people die.  Like all conservatives, you'll sing this tune until your son, daughter, or grandchild gets caught. 

[FiddyFiddyOddzz]

And like all bleeding heart liberals, you will support your idea of a solution until it's your son, daughter, grandchild, or mother that gets held up at gun point or gets a knife stuck in their side, while the junkie robs people to fund their "disease".  The only person these low lifes will be robbing when they're behind bars are other incarcerated low lifes. It's a

Except incarceration doesn't lower drug related crime, so your argument is invalid. You know what does lower drug related crime? I'll give you three guesses. It costs less money. Fewer people die. It lowers drug abuse. It lowers crime. Only an idiot would be angry about that.

[FiddyFiddyOddzz]

It's a free country and you're entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong.  I have nothing further to add on the subject.

It's not an opinion Fiddy. We have the data to back it up. And I'm guessing you know that. That's why you "haver nothing further to add."  

[winterishere]

It is insanity!  The current addicts are basically write offs.  The goal is stop young people from becoming addicts and legitamizing drug use along with free drugs just makes it easier for our youth to become addicts. It is nothing but a feel good exercise for liberals who want to build their resumes.

[yggdrasill]

Your premise is wrong. First, we're talking about decriminalizing small quantities not legalization. So drugs won't become more easily accessible because of this. They will remain illegal substances. They will simply be punished by fines and community service time instead of jail. So this will not make it any easier for young people to buy drugs. Second, not everyone who uses drugs

[NPCexe]

Fiddy are you just gonna let these communists make the typical terribly reasoned talking points on drugs and second amendment without defending yourself? Then why bring up articles unrelated to ENB?

[ol_griz]

Yggy, you are preaching to the "not to trouble you with facts" contingent.  Facts are just inconvenient and annoying to them

[PinkJellyFish]

ol_griz you are absolutley right!  Would bet my last dollar that FIDDY never did open up and read this very informative report, packed with tons of real time data/FACTS, which I suggested that FIDDY needs to do instead of continuing to my all sorts of outlandish comments about the BC situation. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/birth-adoption-death-marriage-and-divorce/deaths/coroners

Fiddy you are like most people.  You are not even close to knowing the real facts.  Just check out  the very detailed latest actual statistics from out West in the link below. Just a few facts contained in this data.  Alcohol accounted for a bit over 25% of overdose deaths. And year after year the vast majority of overdose deaths are ordinary working people in their own
