Chihuahua and UCBearcats, your questions have now been answered multiple times by multiple people, some of whom have a far more intimate understanding of drug use and addiction than either of you do.
In particular I note that neither of you have responded to data presented by one poster that points to the decline in drug use and HIV infection in multiple countries, directly resulting from drug decriminalization. Why let facts get in the way of the jolt you get from every self-righteous declaration of flawless morality you vomit all over this thread?
Luckily it is people with actual expertise who guide drug policy in this country. So if it makes you feel good to judge people who have had a different life experience from your own, knock yourselves out. You clearly aren’t here to learn anything.
