    A. Imagine being a gang member; right now you can make good money since the gang is well funded by selling drugs. As soon as you remove drugs as a source of income the gang becomes much poorer suddenly being in a gang and more importantly joining a gang in the first place is far less appealing result is the gang shrinks greatly


    or the gang members get even more desperate and resort to other means to make money, people traffiking/prostitution/kidnappings etc?
    Maybe you should take the time to look at the issue and think for yourself. Would you have been in support of homosexuality being illegal in the 1920s I wonder?

    No, but if we're being selective, murder/robbery etc was illegal in the 1920's and i'm still in favour of that
    All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

    Murder and robbery are both crimes which have VICTIMS (how many times does it need to be said), thats the critical different between those crimes and 'crimes' like homosexuality and drug use. You can't argue that just drug use has victims (apart from maybe the drug user themselves) since it only effects the drug user themselves. If the drug user steals or robs to fund a drug habit then we already have laws to deal with stealing and robbery, there's no need to make a law to ban the drug because, apart from anything, it makes no difference; that person is still going to be an addict

    Logic has trouble finding it's way through in people who have engrained prejudices.
