How many brits in this thread smoke weed? How many know people who smoke weed? Tons of weed are comeing into your country and the police can't stop it (I realize it's been deriminalized, but before that in the height of the drug war it was still comeing in by the ton) So if criminals can smuggle in drugs which can be sniffed out by dogs they can smuggle in guns a lot easier which dogs can't even sniff for. They do smuggle in guns to. Not in the same numbers because there isn't the same market but guns are still comeing into the country. So I would say it is hopeless to try to keep them out of the country.

Some Jarhead last night: "this dumb a$$ thinks hes fireproof"
quote:And I'm arguing that a drug dealer hurts more than just one person - he's trying to run a competitive business that harms each and every consumer who does business with him, and oftentimes those around said consumer as well. I can go out and rob one gas station and scare the hell out of one employee, maybe even threaten or hurt him. A drug dealer creates a crowd of people who frequently turn to robbery and theft in order to support their habits. It's all about accountability. A violent criminal is one person, severely affecting a person or group of people. Yes, what they do is horrible. But a drug dealer encourages this sort of thing in his/her clientele, creating multiple violent criminals. That was my original thought on why a drug dealer is way worse than a violent criminal - because they CREATE MORE violent crime, even though they may not directly involve themselves in it.
I have watched friends waste their life away with drugs, I would have loved to be able to stop them, but you can't do that, only they can stop themselves. I am mearly arguing that they CAN stop themselves, they have a second chance. A victim of a violent crime doesn't have that luxury. While drug may hurt peoples lives, violence DESTROYs their lives.

the government sends marijuana smokers and crack heads to prison, and lets rapists and murderers free, so they have more room for drug dealers

A correction to DJ Dantana's most recent post:
A drug dealer is not someone who is merely "hurting themself," as you say. They hurt every man woman and child who they sell to. What they do could also be construed as attempted murder in many cases. Their products destroy communities, not just individuals. A violent criminal on the other hand tends to affect a small number of people in his actions... the possible exception being gang violence but even then it's not as bad as dealing drugs.

No, but I've seen people with no health insurance present with an MI (heart attack), costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.
