We ALREADY have easy access to Heroin. That's what I'm saying. We are currently in the middle of a Heroin glut as a result of cultivation in Afghanistan. I've asked around where I live as to how the prices of drugs are going. Heroin is now much cheaper than even a few years ago, but still highly inflated in price because of the black market. (Meth is still readily available too despite the cold pill restrictions, it's the high quality Mexican stuff too from what I've been told.) I could have as much heroin as I could afford with just a few phone calls. How is that NOT easy access?Legalizing drugs is stupid, most people aren't responsible enough to have easy access to heroin, it would be detrimental to society to do so.
What we currently DON'T have is quality control. How do I know that Heroin isn't cut with god knows what? What if it is laced with Meth, cocaine, etc. How pure is this batch compared to the last batch? People don't OD because they want to, they OD because they get a "hot shot" because they don't know the purity of what they are getting.
Another question, if Heroin were legal would you use it? Are you one of those people who isn't responsible enough? Or are you worried about "other people" not being responsible enough. Just like how the antis believe themselves to be responsible with guns, but they are worried about "other people" not being responsible, so they want to ban them, "for everyones safety".
johnwilliamson062 I am not sure i would agree with tobacco being harder to get than alcohol though. There was always a senior around who would pick up a pack for someone.
I suppose it depends slightly on your locality. When I was in high school people would only buy alcohol and tobacco for their small group of friends. If you were outside that group, they wouldn't buy it for you. They weren't doing it for the money, though they did get a small cut for doing it, they were doing it to "help out" their friends. The illegal stuff, if you had the money, you could get as much as you wanted.
