    Ending the war on drugs doesn’t. I disagree

    Sorry. It’s the exact opposite. Here in Australia we have a serious meth problem and we are full of assholes who are incredibly toxic and drugged up. Ending the war on drugs just makes addictive drugs even more accessible, so people are more likely to try them and encourage others to do so

    Highly addictive drugs should not be legalized, and it certainly isn’t the reason for school shootings and such

    What protects us is gun laws, and you guys need stronger ones

      The war on drugs is a euphemism. Ending It doesn’t mean stop drug legislation, it means stop putting parents in jail for 10 years and putting their kids in care because they smoked weed and the kid accidentally told a cop when the cop visited their school and told them if they didn’t rat out their parents something worse would happen.
