I don't understand why there are anti-drug people out there. I mean yeah its not great to be on any substance but I mean the understanding between the poor and drug use. I mean if your in hell or a poorer area and using because there is no way out, think about, people only use to feel good and it seems to me that fact would be understood even by the anti-drug folks. Drugs feel good, peroid, seems like the war on drugs only targets disadvantaged individuals. Maybe helping them is better then arresting them, helping find talent for such individuals and find success rather then an escape. Just my opinion.

I don't do drugs but I also don't really judge people who do because I understand why people turn to drugs.

But with that said I would be very angry if a junkie robbed or mugged me for drug money and would want to see them punished.

I've always thought the 'war on drugs' was stupid.
Drives the price up and makes druglords who are untouchable, meanwhile the lowly have to prostitute themselves out for a fix, get arrested and they're too scared of the consequences to seek help.
Make it a moral problem, not a legal one.

As you have every right to, drugs don't rob people, the user might but robbing anyone is not acceptable for any reason.

I actually had a junkie break into my house once while I was home alone. It was pretty scary. :(

War on anything only leads to more fighting, more violence, more seeing things as separate.

I am sorry to hear that, glad you were OK.

My mercy on drug users is limited however. needle drug use is not really victimless for example cause it spreads disease and can put family and law enforcement at risk.
