Portugal decriminalised drugs – hardly anyone dies from overdosi

[slaveboy 6]

I agree that the "War On Drugs" could very well be settled by decriminalizing drugs and the cartels would be put out of business. In reality,however, I don't see that happening in the U.S., especially because of how conservative Congress has become. The way I look at it, if someone wants to take any drug in their own place of residence, the government should not interfere. I wonder how the Supreme Court would rule if that case ever came before them.

However, comparing that to the "War On Terror" is quite a different story. The 9/11 attacks were not imaginged, or made-up. Al-Quida, ISS and Boko Harem are real threats and should not be taken lightly.

You would do well to think your position through. True conservatives actually abhor throwing good money after bad. That is precisely the reason why William F. Buckley, Jr. and Thomas Sowell published op-ed pieces in the late '80s suggesting full drug legalization.

The true problem is that most Democrats and Republicans are Progressive Statists at heart who believe the illusion that they can control everything in pursuit of their imaginary Utopia. All that stands in their way is the Constitution and that pesky Bill of Rights, but they're working to patch those bugs in the system.
