Hey Rabbi, if drugs were legal would you run out and buy you some? Do you think everybody else would? Your premise is absurd!
Yes. And so would bunches of people.
What was your point again?
Why would you do that if you think they're bad? That makes little sense. As for 'bunches of people', I doubt it. Everywhere drugs have been legalized or decriminalized there has been a short spurt of increased usage followed by a continual downward trend. You've got to face facts, the 'War on Drugs' is an abject failure of epic proportions. We've spent billions of dollars over the last 50 years and today the drugs are cheaper, more plentiful and more potent than ever. If you want to find out where to get some, ask any high school kid.
The Netherlands has just instituted severe restrictions on pot cafes. So I guess that wasnt working too well after all. Decriminalization was a disaster in Britain when they tried it. Holland has become a focal point for international drug trafficking.
Your solution is to make the problem worse. Somehow that doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
