[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not idea what you all are talking about. I don't see anyone being locked up for drugs in DC. Pot, heroin, LSD, Mushrooms... In fact, short of robbing a bank which is slightly frowned upon, it is a free for all. You can run red lights and stop signs, heck even the police do it.

So this will not change much except give people free reign to do drugs openly for all to see. People will get stoned in the streets and instead of 5% of the population passed out, you will get 10% lets say.

And this idiotic argument that people on weed and mushrooms are perfect little mellow high angels, while the only ones killing people driving around around those drunkards, this is the same as those pushing these drugs as being perfectly safe for everyone to partake in.

I don't buy this "DC is going to be a wonderfully better place now that drugs are legal" argument.

https://mpdc.dc.gov/publication/marijuana-arrest-data 12k people is a lot of people.  :roll: [/quote]

That is seven years worth of non-custodial "arrests."[/quote]

With fines...that trap people in the system....they get arrested for not paying fines. Try harder.  :roll: [/quote]

So now it is to damaging to fine people??? how is that trapping the in the system? You take a risk, and you suffer the consequences. You drive recklessly, you are moe likely to get hurt or worse, hurt others. You can't have a society with some kind of rules, and some kind of punishment. The justice system must be reformed fur sure, but I am completely against living in anarchy which is where DC is headed.

[b]Fix the justice system first, then start relaxing some of the rules. [/b] DC needs to prove that it can enforce the laws on the books before they start relaxing more. [/quote]

Seek help.  :oops: [/quote]

Oh dear, I flustered you. Relax... it will all be good in the end. I understand you are still procession your disfunction.[/quote]
