When a commodity is illegal, it breeds violent activity. Simple as that.

There are victims of the war on drugs though, with the tax payer being a big one.

I agree with that. Tax payers take a heck of a hit on this one, but its not always on the side you are thinking. As I mentioned, its not cheap supporting these babies in a critical care unit for a month or so.

Stop trolling.

Have you even looked at the past couple of pages?

I'm glad you consider me a bit off BTW. Makes you nervous I'd bet.

And your hypothesis is that there will be more babies in icu if drugs are legal? Thus your justification for maintaining the ban on drugs?

Where's the humor? It's their body. Let them decide for themselves. It worked for about the first 150 years of our nations history. Many drugs made it longer than that. Steroids being one of the most recent.

What I mean is.....I work in a childrens hospital and I see first hand the victims of the drug culture. It may be neglect, abuse (mental, sexual, and physical), babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome, and learned/repetitive behavior.

Drunks do the same thing. Are you cool with banning alcohol?

Why not just ban and enforce child abuse? Why make everyone someone?

Yeah, and somehow outlawing drugs hasn't prevented any of this. The children are victims of negligence and horrible parenting. You can't fix that by making drugs a scapegoat and treating the problem with prohibition.

As far as I know, alcohol has the worst and most lasting effects on babies (fetal alcohol) and that's legal.

Nope.....not at all what I am saying. I haven't the slightest clue what the numbers would be like.

And negligence is already crime. We don't need added laws. Enforce the ones we have. Drugs don't make you harm your child. Being a ****ty person does.

So a baby born at 25 weeks gestation due to placental abruption because his mom was a cocaine addict had a choice in the matter? Oh yeah, dont forget that we the taxpayers get to take care of this developmental delayed person for the rest of their lives because of it. I won't even mention his/her quality of life because they werent really affected right?

I fully admit that there isnt an easy solutuon but dont act like on the meth abuser is affected by their actions. If it were that simple I say have at it.
