Soft Drugs and Prostitution should be legalized.

Too bad you already conceded your stance. Resolution: "Soft drugs and prostitution should be legalized" "Definitions: Soft Drugs such as marijuana and the like, cocaine, and heroine. Also add any other drugs that don't do permanant brain damage like Shrooms, LSD, Meth, ect." " To begin, forget the definition of drugs, its bad, for the sake of simplicity lets just make it all drugs" You conceded your original argument. You quit. You stated "Just to comment: use of alcohol rose during prohibition" I disproved that in R2. You chose not to counter that, because you couldn't. McDonald's is irrelevent because people don't run over pedestrians while high on cheeseburgers. You did want victims right? Here's some victims for you: "Domestic violence and the breakdown of families is the worst problem created by drug abuse in Hawaii, according to a survey of participants in more than a dozen community meetings around the islands. In the months leading up to this week's drug summit in Waikiki, Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona hosted 13 "talk story" sessions on four islands to gather community thoughts on drug abuse and solutions." Point: To me. Or do innocent women and children not fit your definition of victims? Your argument against cars and DUI is also irrelevent, as alcohol is a drug and you said, "for the sake of simplicity lets just make it all drugs.": so drugs contribute to more vehicle deaths than any other factor: "Out of 510 DUI related deaths,108 were passengers, and 42 were pedestrians." See? More victims. Point: To me. Additionally, McDonald's in moderation can provide added proteins to the diet, and even boost the metabolism to run more efficiently when a healthier diet is introduced. Point: To me. I see you also ignored my statistics on countries where drugs are legal, like 88% of the crimes being attributed to drug users in drug friendly countries. More non-using victims. And your beloved Amsterdam is one of the countries where legalized drugs and prostitution were shown to increase the crime rate. Point: To me. Your counter here is just ridiculous. ""Women who smoke marijuana produce children who are 11 times as susceptible to leukemia than non-drug users." Yeah, during PREGNANCY." And? This somehow eans the cancer ridden infant is not a victim? Your statement on black market raising costs is completely false. Do a little research on the black market firearm trade and you will see that. Crack, meth, lsd, shrooms, and marijuana, are often manufactured or grown by the dealer. They are tax free. There are no middle men, no shop percentages, no regulatory agencies to be paid. Drugs are cheap. Once the government gets involved we will have to pay taxes, they will only be sold with a permit, which the cost of will have to be passed on to the drug prices. For these reasons, drug related crime would likely increase. Your argument for regulation of prostitution is irrelevent because Ms.Farley, cited in R2, was a legal prostitute, operating under Nevada state regulations when she experienced her travesties. And legal proostitution in Nevada does NOT test the clients for STD's, only the hookers. Then, the hookers lose their livelihood, and according to Ms. Farley, who would know, they can not function in normal society after the brainwashing they endure. Point: To me. If you want any more evidence on victims of drug use, just Google CRACK BABIES. Ever seen one of those? Does that fit your definition of victim? I rest my case.
