The majority of people addicted to heroin already get all they want anyway.
And just because something is no longer illegal doesn't mean that everybody is suddenly going to rush out to buy it.
Heroin was invented by the Bayer drug company and sold over the counter worldwide for years.
These days it's only called "heroin" when you buy it on the streets. When they give it to you in the hospital it's called "diamorphine"
As for cocaine...well, real cocaine (not other shit that people snort) is also already being used by anybody who wants to. And that includes a LOT of society around you. Doctors, lawyers, gov. officials, etc.
My thoughts are this: There ARE a tiny percentage of people in this world with addictive personalities. They kill themselves with anything. Most with alcohol. But pretty much ANYTHING.
But most people are capable of partying in a social atmosphere without becoming an addict. And they do that every weekend by the MILLIONS in this country.
Just like alcohol. Or any other recreational drug.
So no, I don't think that if coke were "legal"...that suddenly all those millions of people who already are doing it would become "addicts" or anything like that.
I'm pretty sure that the people who are addicted to anything are already fucking up their lives with or without the govt's consent.
And unfortunately, these stupid laws not only infringe on my personal freedom...but it makes tens of millions (maybe more, who knows?) of Americans "criminals" every day just by having a gram of coke to party on.
