How can you legalize drugs? It will be very dangerous. If something like that is done, then the youth will become addicted to drugs, and deaths from overdose will shoot up. This is a very foolish suggestion.

Why shall the state legislate on what is an individual danger? Don't you think risk assessement is the responsability of the individual? I think motorbiking is very dangerous... if something like that is done, then the youth will become addicted to motorbikes, and deaths from crashes will shoot up. This is a very foolish suggestion (please replace it by hunting, rodeos, diving, alcohol, what ever).

With your mindset only dying is safe.

So here is a classical conservative mindset, thank you for your post btw. From this can be deducted:

1. Taking ownership by the collective of the risk for the individual
2. The children collective responsability
3. Protecting from deaths

LoL.

I will just say that the drug war run since a long time in the us and there is no success...

Then in the case of opioids, there is the pain aspect. And apparently pain aversion is a natural evolution of advanced society.

A few aspect that you may not account: ressources, policing ressources aren't unlimited. Better hunt rapists, pedos, violent and non consent crimes perpetrators or junkies? Do you really care what others do with their bodies and minds willingly as long as it doesn't pose a threat to you?

How does it affect you if a screenwriter in L.A. or a tycoon wife in Manhattan or an insurer from Chirak want something? Remember according to the immutable law of business, it's a legit transactions: 2 concording wills, a price and informed consent... why the fuck wanting to mess with their wants rather than profit from it? Taxing it while providing the full contractual law sets (quality, security, safety etc). Remember there are no victims.

But still it doesn't answer my question, why is it concentrated in a specifical part of the political spectrum worldwide?

A personnal question, if the gov ban bitcoin, what will you do?
