You'd think someone in the chain of command would say, "what would this look like as a legal market? How much could we generate in taxes? Do these people really belong behind bars?"
A few questions I have:
* How many schools and hospitals could we fund from taxes?
* Could we redirect these users to hospitals or treatment facilities, and if we can't, so what?
* Could these agents be considered adrenaline junkies?
This cat and mouse game will have no end until they can tap into your brain stem and prevent you from committing these 'crimes' or modify your brain chemistry in a way that will make you not yearn for altering your conciousness. Either way, that's not a world I want to live in. How can we get the government to respect our right to put anything in our body that we want to? As long as it does not hurt others through the production or the consumption or harm the environment, I really don't understand the moral hard on people get from telling a group of people what they can and can't do.
I'm kind of rambling, but this is what comes to mind when I see these types of articles.
