    i personally am against the legalization of weed but i also think the in america the penalty for being caught with it is to high. i think that if your caught with a small amount of weed you shouldnt go to jail you should be force to pay a fairly large fine maybe around $1000. but i still think that the sale and distribution of weed should still be jail time. what is your opinion of the drug laws and/or what do you think of my opinion.

    We should round them all up and and send them to labor camps and have their possessions confiscated by the state.

    Looking at how well the Prohibition went and seeing how all countries where marijuana or other drugs are (to some extent) legal are chaotic hellholes, everyone who has any kind of drug should be shot, that'll solve all our problems.

    Heck, all kinds of leisure should be forbidden and punishable by death. From now on, we'll only survive and reproduce, and nothing more.

    Survive, reproduce, labor, and pay taxes, that's how the world should be.

    We should legalize heroin but sell it super cheap. That way all heroin addicts will OD and die making the world a better place.

    I think NYC is actually moving in the right direction (just google it if you want specifics). Until they change things at a federal level, that states can slowly ramp back on how serious of a penalty it is. I'm okay with going after someone making or distributing an illegal product, but the extent to which mandatory minimum sentencing laws ruin people's lives, fill our prisons and send a lot of people into a cycle of escalating criminality and incarceration is pretty sickening

    The forums would have died along time ago if that was the case.
