#9 taking the drug harms the taker, the proffits from drugs often go to violent gangs and criminals and that harms the people they directly victimize. the users of the drugs often resort to crime to feed their habit harming innocents completely outside the production/consumption loop. chronic users prioritize the drug use above feeding their children, harming them in the process. not to mention the 'missing mama' while she is out high and her boyfriend raping the little girl (happens). yup - just like sports. |

#7 A strange argument as drugs only risk harming the taker, like sports etc. |

#6 Well DC, the same could be said for child p0rnography. And I'm not against all drugs, but I am against heroin. Especially when the profits go to murderous thugs like the Taliban. |

#5 Quite right. If drug-prohibition ended we could get people a decent product that would harm them less AND make such criminals lost funding. |

#2 We should have developed Agent Orange 2.0 to eradicate the opium crop, and sprayed it with a UAV variant that can act as a crop duster. These farmers and their families should starve to death for all the misery they have caused with their crops. |

#1 Mods, my apology. Please add the preposition "to"... to the title line following "intend." Thanks for posting! |
