There are already laws on the books against driving under the influence of drugs
I bet that stops a LOT of people! Bob, you know if someone is going to break the law having the illegal drugs in the first place they sure too worried about driving under the influence. It's just another law they don't aggree with so they break it.
It is the responsibility of the parents to keep kids off drugs. First, not all parents are responsible, next making drugs available doesn't help the parents in their efforts. Ever have an adult by beer for you when you were a kid?
I agree the "War on Drugs" does not seem to me to be really affective but I am not ready to surrender and give them to everyone who whats them as Jim had suggested.
When your family are on the highway do you want to know there are people not only under the influence of alcohol but (if you get your way) additionally people strung out on drugs. And yes. I know there are some out there now, I don't want MORE, I want LESS. Look at alcohol related crimes (where sober the person might not have done it) and add MORE drug related crimes.
Bob, would you like a toxic waste dump next door? Neither would I, I look at widespread drug use as toxic waste on our soiciety.
Happy Thanksgiving!
