OMG that would be like legalizing the DEMON ALCOHOL!!!
Alright, equating meth and alcohol is simply retarded. The addictive potential of meth versus alcohol differs in orders of magnitude. Chronic meth use does more damage in a year than a lifetime of alcohol abuse. They do not compare in the least.
Pot on the other hand would be a fair comparison.
As Zap said, each drug should be evaluated individually.

Well said.
Think about all of the complete morons that live in your hometown. Do you really want them to be able to wander down to the local convenience store with a side arm strapped to their waist and get cranked up on some meth.
Libertarian minded people always seem to think of themselves when they try to justify boundless personal freedoms.
From what I know of them, I wouldn’t mind if Varq or Mikey or Liftic had all the personal freedom in the world. I think they have the common sense and decency to live a life that would not impose or become a burden on others.
The problem is, these aren’t the only type of people who live in this country. We are surrounded by morally and mentally bankrupt people at every turn.
We have a population that cannot even be trusted to make healthy food choices for themselves and their families.
You want to let them have heroin and meth at their disposal?
It’s an absurd notion.
