Will be an interesting experiment. I'm glad its there and not here. I can't see how its gonna help other than free up the courts, jails and police force. I guess to start with nothing much will change, an addict before and addict now. I worry about a generation from now as kids grow up thinking it's normal and ok to do drugs. Younger people today are much more into drugs than booze. Most people that are 30 plus and are not drug users will not likely change there habits to drugs legal or not, booze is the substance of choice for us old people.

If you drink booze your a drug user. Booze is just a legal drug, alcohol destroys more lives here in rural sask than illegal drugs. People think being an alcoholic is fine. Its called being a drug addict with alcohol.

If you didn't notice we lost the war on drugs. So let's accept reality and decriminalize.

I feel uncomfortable when I hear the words "use" alcohol, but you are right. I have never felt the "need" for drink, just that I enjoyed having one. But likely a dumb thing to do in general. Have never tried drugs, and never will because I'm worried what if I like it.

Not that I know for certain but I feel that whatever percentage of users become addicted to alcohol is a smaller percentage than drug users that get addicted to drugs. (Maybe not weed)


Also if I had the choice of dealing with a very drunk individual or with someone high on drugs I would choose the drunk everytime.

Most crimes are a result of drugs! Around here trucks are stolen every day and more thefts generally to get money for drugs/ Probably 80 percent of crime involves drugs good idea to get rid of lawenforcement and make drugs legal. How dumb is soceity going to get?

If you seriously think drinking Coors Light is equivalent to putting heroin, cocaine or crystal meth into their bloodstream you should go out to Vancouver and help the ambulance service pick up dead bodies from overdoses.

I think we both agree that we should crack down on drunk and drugged driving.

Moderation and proper coping techniques learned early in life probably a key.
Freeing up the police and courts and prisons a good thing. Street meth is to pot as C4 is to percussion caps.
But, we cant criminalize glue or aerosol cans or gasoline so people will still sniff that stuff.
Smart cars with blood content analyzers only sure fire fix for DWI.
What do they do in other cultures?
I'm no expert but will guess.
The addicts live and die on the streets and the traffickers are shot.
After seeing addictions and poor mental health first hand I'm not convinced we can save society without remembering that each man has his own life. And we won't all fit in the same church.

I can't wait then this INSANE debate/consequences will END!

Other countries, Guess could follow Turkey...I heard/read convicted drunk drivers are SHOT!

Legal today; Cocaine, heroin and any drug you can get your hands on.

Illegal today; plastic straws, going out after 10pm and not wearing a mask.

Your progressive left hard at work.

More Jazz BS

Drugs were not legal today in Oregon (legalized), small quantities were decriminalized. Not the same thing at all. For example, it is not legal to speed, and if you do you can be ticketed. But speeding only becomes a criminal offence when the amount you are speeding is considered excessive and depends on the jurisdiction as to what that speed is.

What's actually disturbing is the 9 likes to his post.

Must be different in your area. Drugs are ruining so many young people. They drop out of school their parents in denial or don’t know what to do enrol them in off school classes and ina. Month that’s it they are lost. Destine 50/50 to be in welfare or in jail.
