Exactly. The best way to persuade people not to take drugs is to make them more easily and readily accessible and then educate them on now to use them in safe quantities.  

So you propose to legalize it and make it easier for a lot more people to take them?

It clearly does dissuade people. Just because you are saying people are still taking drugs is no indication in the slightest that tough laws don't act as a dissinsentive to the majority of people because it does.

But it doesn't lol... or people wouldn't be buying drugs all the time.

My proposal is give people the freedom to make their own informed choices.

If you make something forbidden, people will want it even more.

You're a man of God, remember the Apple in the Garden of Eden?

This is the kind of thing they say in underground fight clubs, and in the safe spaces of liberal universities.  It's not actually a real argument.

Bit of a swing there but ok.

No they will want it more when it is legalized and condoned.

In Holland there are much more drug issues and their drug laws are liberal.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. 

He's gotta bring "the left" or "snowflakes"  into it somehow, even when it has next to nothing to do with the conversation. 

It's so tiring. Not everything is about left or right rusty...

ooh let's all legalize all the drugs because its personal choice and lets all self identify as Felix the Cat! lol

Now stop farting!

HOW DARE YOU!

😂😂😂😂😂

Your cries mean you are releasing about 0.03% more Co2 into the atmosphere!

HOW DARE YOU!

Oh sorry, but I am flying back to work next week. HOW DARE ME!

I should sail in a 6 million dollar carbon-fiber yacht or go by private jet like Prince Harry and Megan.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the sexiest virtual signaler of all?

LOL

Speaking of the global warming hoax, why is the left actually ignoring the real issue?

Over population!

Maybe legalizing drugs is a covert plan to kill off billions of people to reduce over population....Mmmm...never though of that before.

😂😂😂😂

Hi Alex Jones.

Prohibition has failed so yes it can be considered an actual argument. 

I haven't & probably won't being a family man & all that now however it's interesting that the spiritual imperatives come in many guises. 

The desire to go beyond the perception of the every day mind is exactly what religion is.   Talking to God, Allah, Buddha & the thousands of Gods & Goddess that mankind has created in order to gain a perspective of life, the universe & our own place in it is something that should be considered when we alter our conscience in whatever way that people choose to. What is the desire to get "high" but a similar expression of going beyond the realm of consciousness pretty much exactly the same as a the ancient & modern rituals of religion.  Both things can be taken to extremes & both things can be extremely destructive. 

Golly, are people this stupid?

"dear citizens, we have decided to decriminalise drugs, rape and murder because if you make something forbidden people want it more"

Ironically enough, experimenting with psychedelics made me a more spiritual and compassionate person. You appreciate the oneness and contentedness in everything. Of course it sounds like utter nonsense if you've never tried it yourself, but I suggest you give it a go Aikhme. You'd be less of a cvnt of a human being.

You do realise its just chemicals fucking with your head, you're not actually spiritually connecting with the earth or anything.

All good, I'm sure God will send another flood to wipe us clean.

What do climate activists have to say about nuclear and carbon capture?  Carbon capture seems the real deal as its constantly coming down in cost, compatible with existing infrastructure and wont require trillions of dollars of investment to build solar farms and battery storage.  Nuclear is also worthy of discussion as its reliable and cheap, I understand there's health risks but surely that's not as bad as the climate emergency that posing an existential threat to the planet?

When climate activists readily deny these alternative technologies it just makes it seem like their might be a political motive to all of their activism.

Ni it hasn't failed at all.

You are being absolutist and no law is absolutist because even homicide laws have failed according to your logic and no one is calling to legalize murder.

Drug laws have not failed from reducing the prevalence, the supply and demand. If its legalized then the prevalence, supply and demand increase causing more issues and more addiction to drugs, more deaths and more suicides and more other health issues as well.

This argument is a false argument.

Getting high is a replacement to spiritual.

It is true that spiritual people are calmer, have less stress, are more stoic, more humble, more relax and suffer less mental illness and as such suicide is low.

Every person needs to grow not just mentally and physically, but of equal importance is ones spirituality.

Now, you can say it is all man made but the facts paint a different story. Jesus actually walked the earth, and had 12 followers and students that witnessed all his deeds, and they wrote about them. This one man, changed the worlds greatest Empire at the time and converted an entire continent.

He inspired hundreds of Christians to face their death by frie, sword or lion in the Colloseum. People were happy to die in His name.

That should tell you something.

Hello dumbo!

Yes its an illusion.

Spirituality is actually a form of strength. It takes a lot of strength and conviction to believe and have faith.

Interesting.

You need to understand what the main purpose of life is. It is to prepare your spirit for what comes after. We are all in the halfway house.

During the old times, Herod ordered the murder of all children aged 2 and under because he was told by a prophet that the Messiah had just been born. The Messiah being the one true King Jesus Christ. So he wanted to kill him to protect his throne.

According to scripture 10000 + babies were mass murdered by Herod.

Where was God? Why didn't he stop it is YOUR argument. Don't you worry. God was around and he did witness.

Those babies achieved their objective. They dies to this world only. They died in His name and therefore, they can be viewed as winning the grand prize or lotto.

Spirituality is a complex thing. People are not abandoned to just die. Dieing is just a necessity for fallen man to pass through the prism to their next existence and whatever this entails.

No sane person is condoning 100% decriminalisation & nor am I.  

So the allure of 'forbidden fruit' doesn't factor in your understanding of human nature? 

Perhaps people aren't spiritually connecting to the myriad of deities either however they may believe that they are. 

Not in a legal or policy sense.  Do you really think legalising drugs will stop people wanting to get high and experiencing a oneness with the earth?  You're taking the piss right?

So the deterrent factor of tough laws doesn't factor as a discouragement?

You're  a bloody stereotypical news corp reader. Noone and i mean no one  can be this stupid
